standing, sitting of a chair, sofa, assorted furniture, or do you kneel/sit on the floor and rest the bass on your thigh?

Sometimes though I like to sit on the floor, usually with my back against the amp. I figured I'd stretch my legs and get a back massage at the same time.

DB, I stand all the time. I sit when play *sometimes*, but that's just usually in class or during concert band and it's been a LONG night.
