Default Best opening Bass riff......

Hot on the heels of the gee-taar riff thread.
The best bass riff intro. Even though I'm a guitarist not a bassist, those big sweaty apes can really nail a good hookline at times

OK, I'm going straight in with a heavyweight contender for best of all time.

Iron Maiden - The Clairvoyant

It's either Wake Up by the Arcade Fire, Only In Dreams by Weezer, or Rumble(d) by the Yo-Yos.

I also really dig Flea and the bassist from Tool (Justin Chancellor). Tool's bass sound is distinctive, innovative, melodic, clean and so, so heavy... like letting yourself drown in mercury.

My vote would have to go to RATM and Bombtrack though...
