need inspiration, short but sweet solo/showing off examples?

[BassInMyFace]

anyone know of any nice examples (vid/music) of a short (4-8 bars) solo that will get a crowd going. we all know what they say about bass solos but i reckon there must be some good examples out there of the DB ripping it up and getting a great reaction.
i have a few opportunities to stretch out and introduce myself to some very enthusiastic audiences but more often than not i do a nice swing or slap passage that builds toward the end only for it to have no real finale if you know what i mean. often end up in a big downwards slide that feels anticlimactic. i know how technical stuff often fails on a musical level but sometimes you need a bit of showmanship to really push an audiences buttons.

what technique or flourish can i whip out to get the crowd going? any examples/inspiration would be great.

Use a looper

Lay down a quick groove and play over that

yep, top tip i do looping for personal use but never taken to stage, more hassle and things to go wrong.

good thought though, may well explore!!

That Winnetka stuff is GENIUS.

Check out the full Big Band version with Bob Crosby (brother of a slightly more famous musician).

Just out of curiosity, how did you get on with your search for a technique or flourish? Did you get to grips with Bob Haggart's masterpiece?

still planning to get my drummer to beat my strings a la the bobcats, havent got round to it yet tho. so far tho i have thrown a little slap in there to keep it interesting. also chucked in a few little rip offs of famous basslines, that always gets a nice crowd reaction. for instance, in a drum and bassy type track i go into roni size brown paper bag bass line. goes down a storm for all the dnb wreckheads in bristol!!! need to watch intonation for that one tho, on busy stage with poor montoring i have gone so far out of tune without realising!!

anyone else got any fresh ideas for bass showboating??
