introducing the bass player riff

[Soul Power]

Get up I feel like being a Sex machine...not rock, but recognizable and impressive (IF DONE RIGHT).
.....or do your own thing, and make it recognizable. Preferably the later...

 

[SMILEYSIXX]

A few times, I did The Immigrant Song. Easily recognized and simple.

 

[BassBob2112]

"Money" from Pink Floyd. Groovy, simple, recognizable.

 

[Klonk]

For fun, I have used the bass line from Get out of my dreams (get into my car) by Billy Ocean, for 80s recognition

For rock/metal I'd go with the first bars from Run to the Hills (Iron Maiden) or Got the Time (Anthrax) or something.

Although Imperial March is never wrong!

 

[6bassist9]

Nah if u wanna do somethin iron maiden go for the trooper has good stage presence to it

 

[Fishheadjoe]

Wild Cherry - Play that funky music...

I do anesthesia pulling teeth but thats more than 4 bars haha id recommend slapping immigrant song as hard as u can or play something real soft for a little and then just shred but im really one of those ppl that cant play guitar so they play bass not cause i dont have the skill but because i have hands that make gorrilas feel emasculated and dont fit guitar so i play 6 string bass so my hands have room plus bass has way ballsier solos if done correctly

 

[Patrick61503]

And then* not or after imigrant song

 

[Journey55]

Blood Brothers is cool

 

[renobassman]

I play the bass line to the battle music from Chrono Trigger. I'm kind of a nerd like that.

I like the TV thing.... I'll play the opening riff from the original "Star Trek", "Barney Miller", or "Night Court". Signature bass lines, and people always recognize them and react.
