What's the very first song you go to when you pick up your bass or guitar to warmup?
Another little diddy I sometimes warm up with, taken from a song from my old band back in the '90s:

My warm up has always been Money by Pink Floyd. Its simple, uses multiple strings, good tempo, and Pink Floyd kicks ass anyway.
No particular song. Just run through a bunch of blues progressions, shuffles.
I take a big swig of beer, Crack my knuckles, and just go.
I quickly play Hysteria by Muse, it's fast, gets my fingers warmed up, and it runs over 3 strings, it's great!
I normally warm up with Sunshine of your Love by Cream and For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica
My warm up is YYZ, easily mastered
I gave YYZ a try for the first time a few months back and it completely humiliated me. I was like nope, not trying that again LOL
