I don't know if it counts as an intro, but there's a bit of bass at about 9 seconds in on Balltongue Korn that I love...

Really low and dirty.

Were you aware of Gideon Coe's bass night on 6music

Looks like the track they've chosen to showcase Mr Hook is Age of Consent - can't argue with that

not exactly an intro in the sense the OP means, but the break at the start of Car Wash surely gets an honourable mention?

Very short but memorable - Parisienne Walkways, Gary Moore.
My favourite probably is one of Metallica's, or Rage Against the Machine.

Bullet in the Head - RATM
Eton Rifles - The Jam
What Do You Want From Me - Monaco (Hooky I think)
You Can't hold No Groove - Victor Wooten
I feel there are loads more that I haven't thought of, but these certainly stick out for me, all for different reasons.
Good thread!

A ski lift on a snowboarding trip I did sounded exactly like the initial guitar sound of RwtD and I kept waiting for the bass to kick in. Had the choon in my head for the whole trip- which was nice!

How about Headlong Flight or Malignant Narcissism or (a bit older) Red Lenses?
Just like to chip in:
Down In The Tube Station At Midnight - The Jam (great lyrics too).
If You Want To Stay / Naked In The Rain / Funky Monks / Falling Into Grace (I could go on ...) - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Oh ... and how could anyone not have mentioned Big Bottom?

I know it sounds like it but thats a guitar not a bass. There was just Jack on guitar and Meg on drums in the White Stripes. Jack did have several effects pedals however to produce all the differant sounds. And I saw them live a few times so know this to be true.

Almost too many great bass intros to single one out but I'm going with 'Justice's Groove' from Stanley Clarke's East River Drive album.
Also love the bass in the intro to Dream Theater's 'trial of tears' from falling into Infinity.

Some great tunes mentioned on the thread so far but my favourite bass intro is always going to be Dancing in the moonlight by the late, great Phil Lynott.
