Songs for solo bass performance?

Sign in to disble this ad
Next week I'm going to be in a battle of the bands at my school, and my drummer just told me that he can't go. There are no other drummers around that could fill in so I figured I would just go it alone. Are there any good/easy songs that sound good on a bass by itself or could easily be done with a loop station? I already plan on doing Portrait of Tracy. Just wanted to get a good set list going.

any song can be a solo bass song, since its a chordal instrument. maybe try a little solo arrangement of "little wing", always a crowd pleaser. good luck at the battle of the bands!

If you've got a loop station, just make something up. Honestly, from my experiences, you can be playing something ultra simple, but as soon as you introduce a looper, it blows people's minds away.
