Solo Bass pieces to perform?
 

I'm having my college gathering in February and I want to perform a solo bass piece that non-musicians will enjoy (and impress the girl that i like in college :hiding::))

I'm currently practicing John Myung - Solar Groove.. Using my zoom bx1 for the drum beat.. Its beautiful ! but I don't know if the audience will enjoy it..

Any suggestions? pls? :hyper:

oh come on, that's too easy...:D

Donna Lee by Jaco Pastorius

Impressing a girl with solo bass? Good luck. :atoz:

Anesthesia by good ol' Cliff. But everyone already heard that.

You could try Stuart Hamm's 'Prelude in C', or 'Country Music'...

Pretty much any Classical piece.

Stu ROCKS!!!!

Bump because I am extremely interested in this. I never know what to play when someone asks me to play them something if I happen to be messing around on bass. I have noticed that Bach is a good one...

NV43345 is showy & melodic/classical.

Good luck. Even most bass guitarists don't like listening to solo bass guitar performances.

So you want the general public to enjoy bass solos and you want girls to be impressed by prog rock?

I want world peace and a pony. I bet I get my wishes before you do.

I bet some chicks would be impressed with this:
