It's about stage appearance and allowing yourself to be visible. Dig in to every single note you play. Know your songs. Look confident. Dress confidently. Look at the girls at the shows, not at neck of your bass or on a lead (cheat) sheet on the floor. Show you're having a good time on stage.

Know the songs in and out. Play basslines that stands out, groove and fit the music. Play a cool bass solo perhaps once or twice during a concert. I know a few girls that think bass solos are the coolest ones.

I once caught a girls attention playing "In the Hall of the Mountain King" but then again that was in an orchestra class. Learn some of the famous RHCP songs they get everyones attention.

Every time my band covers "Aeroplane" or "Tell Me Baby", panties drop. However, it's pretty lame that you would ask such a question. You obviously haven't been laid in quite some time.

This is one of the songs in my beginners repertoire. VERY high sounds-cool/difficulty ratio.

Too funny!

Most girls aren't going to be impressed with your bass lines, no matter how difficult they are or how well your execute them. Granted, there are some girls that are fans of the bass and, in those instances, you could get some attention covering RHCP or playing a smokin' bass solo but those percs don't come up regularly. You'll typically have to wait around for one of them to approach you because they'll be the ones sitting in the back of the room listening and you may not even notice them unless they approach you on the break or after the show. Most of them won't so, if you want to talk with one of them you'll have to keep a sharp eye out for the girls that are reacting to your impressive bass playing and immediately descend upon them on the break or after the show but act like you're analyzing the break music through the house system. Then look at her and use a line such as: "I just got a new bass rig and I'm not really sure how the bass sounds out in the room. Can you hear the bass OK?"

If you really want to attract attention from the ladies you'll have to sing some tunes. You don't even have to be a great singer. Just pick a few tunes that are within your range and that you can pull off while playing bass. It's better if you can get up front when you sing. It won't be nearly as effective if your mic stand is setup back where you stand in front of your bass amp. Bam, now you're in there.
