Stan,
Do you mean on the bass? If so, I've played some traditional fiddle tunes (some probably Irish in origin) on the bass (pizzacato not arco) as an exercise (and because its fun). Since the violin is tuned in fifths and the bass in fourths, I think it's a good exercise to find the notes using tunes I can sing in my sleep. It would be fun to do them arco, but I need to develop better bow skills before I try it.
