alright, so for school the rest of this year and all of next, it is a course requirement in my music extension course to play music :p basically i chose a performance strand of the course that complements the theory and compostion strand in the standard music program.
what i need you to help me with (if you so wish) is to compile a list of songs that either are solo's, or if not, could be played as solos, and even small ensembles (no more than 2 accompianists(and of course has to be centralised to bass)).
if you have suggestions, please don't give me anything horribly obscure, usually it helps me to gain marks if its a fairly well known song. Also i can play an arrangment of another song to, so if you know a nice piece that i could arrange that would help to. They can be literally anything so long as its on the bass, so classical music is alright as well.

anything on 4, 5 or 6 strings, and anything fretless on 4 strings. I'm not picky about the genre, jazz, rock, funk, classical, whatever. But it has to be something fairly involved, something that will impress.

Also fingerstyle, slap and tap are all fine, but no double thumbing. Thanks in advance.

I think a fairly good song to play would be Moonlight Sonata, PoT, Vic's Amazing Grace, ummm can't of too many more at the moment.

Buy a looping pedal of sorts, that will open up huge amounts of possible songs that you could play.

yeah, was tinkering with the idea, but i don't know if i'm going to continue doing solo's after high school.
And every time i toy with saving up for one, my brother talks me out of it.. damn his persuassion.

oh, and you can suggest drum and bass songs, duo's etc. if you know any good ones.
thanks so far.

I was going to say "me and my bass guitar" but then you said no DTing. If you are already good at slap, DTing shouldn't be that hard to pick up.

or continuum would be very nice

The Awakening- Les Claypol and The Holy Makrol(Drum+bass song only)

Amazing Grace- Victor Wooten's version (bass only)

I would say a drummer, keyboard player, and you play School Days by Stanley Clarke. How do they decide if a track is legit? Do they listen to the original song?
Arrange the first section into something else, would be my other suggestion

Linus and Lucy might actually be good, if not short. Maybe better with a few other Hamm songs.

There's hardly any DTing in MAMBG. It's mostly OHP.
