Brace yourself… this is a lot of really really great bass you’re about to witness, all at once.

Otherwise known as the top 10 list of most watched videos on No Treble for March, 2013.

Jan Urbanec: Acid Jazz Fingerstyle/Slap Bass Groove

1. Jan Urbanec: Acid Jazz Fingerstyle/Slap Bass Groove

I’ve been following Czech bass player Jan Urbanec for many years now. As great as his videos are, they don’t have a lot of views. Maybe we can change that. Check out this cool acid jazz groove. Or as Jan calls it, “Just two grooves.” The only thing better would be if it was longer…

No-Metric: Cosmo Funk

2. No-Metric: Cosmo Funk

Bassist Fernando Molinari shared this video of his band with us, and once again, it knocked us out. This is the Brazilian fusion group No-Metric, playing “Cosmo Funk”…

Lucas Pimentel: 6/8

3. Lucas Pimentel: 6/8

Here’s Brazilian bassist Lucas Pimentel playing a looped chordal groove in 6/8 – simply entitled “6/8” – and soloing over it in style…

Marcelo Feldman: “Beat It” Solo Bass Arrangement

4. Marcelo Feldman: “Beat It” Solo Bass Arrangement

When we first featured Marcelo Feldman he was covering Jackson 5?s “I’ll Be There”. This time he’s tackling Jackson’s “Beat It”. Watch for his rendition of the guitar solo played on a green-stringed Stingray…

Vulfpeck: Joe Dart’s Isolated Bass Track on “Beastly”

5. Vulfpeck: Joe Dart’s Isolated Bass Track on “Beastly”

Jack Stratton sent me this video, which made my day. We’re all huge Joe Dart and Vulfpeck fans around here, and so it was a nice treat to hear Joe’s bass line to the tune “Beastly” in all its glory. If you want to hear the original, we have that too…

Ben Hands: Solo Bass Cover of Adele’s “Someone Like You”

6. Ben Hands: Solo Bass Cover of Adele’s “Someone Like You”

Yep, we dig it when bassists take pop tunes and turn up the awesome meter by arranging them as a solo bass piece. Here’s Ben Hands doing his thing to make Adele’s “Someone Like You” way cooler. (We may be biased).

Antonio Angotti: Panic Superstition Bass Cover

7. Antonio Angotti: Panic Superstition Bass Cover

Antonio Angotti shared this interesting mashup with us, with the bassist playing Chris Wolstenholme’s bass line from Muse’s “Panic Station” against Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition”. Very cool… and a little mind-bending too.

Victor Wooten, Steve Bailey and David “Fingers” Haynes: 2013 NAMM Jam

8. Victor Wooten, Steve Bailey and David “Fingers” Haynes: 2013 NAMM Jam

One of the most popular videos of all time on No Treble is by the trio of Victor Wooten, Steve Bailey and David “Fingers” Haynes performing “Mercy Mercy Mercy” at the 2009 NAMM Show. Here are the guys once again, performing at this year’s NAMM Show, laying it down like only they can…

Lenny White Band: “Wolfbane” Live

9. Lenny White Band: “Wolfbane” Live

I’ve been digging the new “vault” release by Lenny White. This new album offers up music from White’s 1997 tour with his band, which included two bassists: Victor Bailey and Foley. So I started hunting for videos from this era and found this great one…

Rodolfo Valdifiori: Voodoo (Bass) Child

10. Rodolfo Valdifiori: Voodoo (Bass) Child

Bassists love covering Jimi Hendrix, and we give that a big thumbs up here at No Treble HQ. Here’s Rodolfo Valdifiori doing his thing with a groove inspired by Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child”…
