Solos where the band stops and the beat changes tend to annoy me. There are some exceptions to this method, which I am on board with, but generally speaking, band stops and beat changes usually doesn't work for me. Staying in the groove and adding some licks up at the 12th fret is cool with me. Hey, there's nothing wrong with showing off a little  ;D. As long as it's only once or twice around and  the groove stays solid with a little help from the rest of the band. Show off time is good.

I sometimes have! It has caused bemused smiles from judges, clients and opponent counsel alike.

During my old band's "introductions" in a funky uptempo song that I completely revamped with my bass line, (it was an awkward off-rhythm chicken picked tune before my bassline, which added a huge dose of timing and funk- the song was written before I was in the band) we'd all take short individual solos in round robin fashion. Mine was hammering the open E and beating my bass body with my head. I had to be careful to not hurt my bass.  ;D

Pah, that's nothing! In the 80ies, our drummer would drum on the strings of my Kramer bass (an alu neck gives you confidence for this kind of thing) while I would move chords around. It sounded like machine gun slapping - eat your heart out Mark King! - and the audience loved it everytime!  You can't get more "combined drums 'n' bass solo".  :mrgreen:

You, sir, were operating in the footsteps of Dick Dale!

My friend Phil McCracken would love these jokes.
