30 second bass solo for live TV

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys,
I'm the fretless bassist from the teenage band who played Sweet Child Of Mine at a local talent show. I posted it here awhile ago, got a few comments. Anyway, we will be playing on a live TV show in Oklahoma, playing 3 songs. We each have a 30 second "bumper" or solo, to show off our individual abilities. I have no idea what to play, honestly
Any suggestions for a 30 second fretless bass solo?
Thank you so much!
Ty

P.S. here is the video if you haven't seen it

Haha just came up with my own solo! I transcribed Jaco's version of Blackbird by ear as best as I could and I'm gonna play that. Thanks paco! And Redhot.... well... anyway, I'll post the videos later!
