reading, a prepared piece, and soloing over a blues are the main areas.

It's not so much "passing" as it is placement. If they have a surfeit of bassists, then yes, you will need to have a certain level of ability. But the audition is mostly to place you in ensembles.

As above reading, etc. But I was also asked to take a set of chord changes and play them in a variety of styles and solo over them, play a bunch of different 2 octvave scales including diminished.
