Set up your amp next to them, plug in your bass and then go and stand behind a screen or in the next room and play. See how they like it

Yes but the question was for something that will impress NON musicians and, rightly or wrongly, fast/flashy is what they will see as impressive.

My mistake, I don't think bass guitar players can impress anybody except other bass guitar players. We have a very good lead guitarist, when she is soloing, I swear the crowd only sees her.

2. Use the old consultancy trick; I if you can't decide whether your client would prefer X or Y, ask them. So, instead of wondering what music would impress them, why not give them a choice? "I've prepared a classical piece by X and a pop piece by Y - which would you prefer to hear?"

As you'll be doing a fair bit of private work, don't forget to quote them the prices on each.
