Dancing in The Moonlight - Thin Lizzy (deserves a mention).

Some great calls here but I was amazed it took so long to get to one of my fave all time bass lines...

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!).

Finally let me indulge in some Abe Laboriel

One minute and 24 seconds of bass bliss and then the band kicks in...

'Ethiopia' by RHCP

and Charles Mingus' 'Better Git It In Your Soul'

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.

Dead Kennedys, Forest Fire, great intro and not easy to play at the right speed

Some great choices here.

One of my favourites is this one - Time To Dream by Greenslade and their very underated bassist Tony Reeves.

Enjoy:)

He’s wearing the tea cosy rather than the headband, so good choice…

From the sublime to the ridiculous – here’s a couple of offerings from Pete Way…!

punk seems to like bass intros, the Damned's Love Song is another one, oh yeah and Neat Neat Neat, let's be honest sometimes it's the only time you can hear the bass

Love Song would be my choice for best bassline intro.

I always assumed Paul Chapman had played the intro to Anyday?!

That has been suggested in the past but it was kinda denied by the UFO camp (probably true though)

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.

And on the complete extreme from that, how about this offering from dear old Herbie? Scared the bejeebers out of me as a kid but one of the first bass lines I wanted to learn...
