Any bass equivalent to Stairway or Smoke on the Water?

By this I mean, anything you absolutely DO NOT WANT to hear from somebody trying out or noodling on a bass. I'm just curious.

Ha! I play Forty-Six & 2 by Tool all the time. It's a quick and easy way for me to see if the top two strings of a bass have enough balls and bite for my needs. Plus I think it sounds cool

It's a Long Way To The Top If Ya Wanna Rock And Roll by AC/DC.

Now, if someone pulls off Teen Town while testing a bass, then I stop and applaud.

This isnt about noodling, I believe, but more about "when youre in a music store and people are trying out gear, what song do you NOT want to hear?" type thing. It would be considered noodling, I guess, unless the person plays the whole song.

Personally, I dont care. If youre trying out gear then play whatever the hell you wanna play.

That goes for guitarists and Stairway as well!

I dont really care about what anyone is playing at the store, so long as its not loud and obnoxious. That being said, I guess Higher Ground could be one.
