the best ways for a rock bassist to get noticed

to sing (because everybody know the singer)

to have a funky style (because funk is bass)

to be a crazy slapper (because it's allways impressive)

to be a girl (every guitarist wants a bassist girlfriend)

to be in a power trio (you're not under the thumb of the rythm guitarist)

to have a very original style (it's true for all instruments)

to be a compositor (because you become the master of the band)

to act like a crazy guy
