TrevorR Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 [quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1449845652' post='2927479'] Dancing in The Moonlight - Thin Lizzy (deserves a mention). [/quote] Some great calls here but I was amazed it took so long to get to one of my fave all time bass lines... http://youtu.be/Unnh0T2Ftro Great call on Does It Really Happen but this song is also all about the bass (right up to the vocals coming in... And from then on as well for that matter!). http://youtu.be/vzxZzIiO84Y Finally let me indulge in some Abe Laboriel One minute and 24 seconds of bass bliss and then the band kicks in... http://youtu.be/61CWk0H3AQY ...and... http://youtu.be/aphqQTbyMxo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painy Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I'm on an android phone which isn't letting me view imbedded videos at the moment so not sure if anyone has posted up My Friend of Misery by Metallica yet? Simple but very atmospheric and I've personally always quite liked the bass tone too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Dead Kennedys, Forest Fire, great intro and not easy to play at the right speed [color=#006621][font=arial, sans-serif][size=4][left]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8v3F1n8E-c[/left][/size][/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Bassman Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Some great choices here. One of my favourites is this one - Time To Dream by Greenslade and their very underated bassist Tony Reeves. http://youtu.be/7Lwduo0ygxU Enjoy:) Edited December 12, 2015 by Urban Bassman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottomE Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Not particularly great technical playing but a great start to a classic tune.

Behlmene Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I was all ready to post some of my fav bass intros. But they were already covered. What I didn't expect was that so many other great ones I'd not known of would be here. Consider me floored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Can't believe Ball of Confusion by The Temptations hasn't been posted yet. Something portentous about a bass intro, isn't there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
