What's your 'Hey, the bass player's here' lick?

Just listening to the radio and Professional Widow came on (yep, Radio 6). Made me chuckle because back in the day that was my 'Hey, I'm the bass player, I'm the guy that's gonna make you wanna dance" line for the sound check, that and Respect Yourself, both licks guaranteed to get a positive reaction from an audience (all three of 'em).

 

Just me or do we al have a little bit of bass magic we throw in to let the audience know that we're there?

If I am playing somewhere that has a sound guy, and having stood listening to drummer smacking the bejeezus out of his kit for 10 minutes, I usually play Disco Inferno as it is nothing remotely like the music the band plays.  But, usually, I only just about finish the run down to the opening verse before the guy says 'OK, that's fine.  Drummer, can we just do the snare again....' 

 

If it is just the band in a pub I don't bother.
