How about bass pigeon shooting?
Shooting a series of pneumatically launched wishbasses!
Should be done with a rifle. With all the little (ok, big) cutouts it makes it far more challenging.
Bass Wrestling:
Contestants must "wrestle" a bottle of jack away from a drunkard drummer, once the bottle is safely in the contestants possession, absorbed into the arena carpet, or entirely consumed by the drummer the wrestling phase ends. Contestants have full access to any stage equipment on the arena floor. Famous techniques include: "the mic cable choke", "the guitar amp to the face" and "axe murder"
Then the scoring phase begins based on his performance in a 10 minute bass drum jam with said drummer. Points are deducted playing out of time. If the drummer passes out, is rendered unconscious during the first phase, falls off his chair, or is too intoxicated to play it is an automatic disqualification.

Oooh - before we start, can we pretend to play the national anthem on a Pedulla, but really have someone else pre-record it on an SX?

Want to add in some digital fireworks?
Speed set ups, who can set up a beater bass at bowed neck, zero action, bad intonation, and dead tuning. Points are deducted for using alternate tunings.
Want to add in some digital fireworks?
Sure! Maybe do some fake aging on the SX as well, and then we can pass it off as 16 years old.

Bass Foor Excercises. (Gymnastics)
A bass player has to move to the beat in the most creative way he/she knows how, while at the same time maintaining the groove. Extra points for any flips.
Note: Flipping the bird does not count as a flip!
Hmmmm....how about the bass players stays in one spot, slightly bobbing his/her head to the beat while great bass lines tempt him/her to move in some creative fashion. Extra difficulty factor added for maintaining bass face.
How about a bass dancing challenge, bass mud wrestling, Axe bash to the death, 500 mm freestyle... with a 2x15 strapped to you.
Bass man moves to the front of stage, where a number of the drummers flying sticks have made their way, from trying to get the attention of any of the other members of his band.
Bass man then has the time between each track to fire as many back at the drummer from 'stage front' in an Archery style, using the neck and the E string as the Bow...or 'Baw', if you will.
Points awarded for direct hits on drummer, less points for each drum shell, and a good solid smacking is awarded if you miss altogether... incentives.
