This week was a week for videos. Bass videos dominated the top 10 for the first time in a while, including a top 10 list within the top 10 list. But there were also a couple of how-to’s, some new gear and the Bass of the Week to throw into the mix. Here are the top 10 most popular stories...

Today’s featured video is dedicated to all the Dads out there. Horace Silver’s “Song For My Father” was the opening track for his 1965 album of the same name, and a dedication to the pianist’s father. Here’s Silver’s Quintet performing the tune for Jazz Omkring Midnat – Denmark TV in 1968. The line up is killer: Bill Hardman on trumpet,...

Today is Marcus Miller’s birthday, and we’re celebrating by listening to all kinds of music with Marcus (of which, there’s a lot to choose from). Here’s an epic video of Marcus with his band performing Miles Davis’ “Jean Pierre” at North Sea Jazz in 2011. It starts out with such a fantastic groove and starts building, with quotes from Prince’s...

Adam Ben Ezra is one of our favorite bassists around here, and I think he now holds a unique status on No Treble. This is the third time we’ve shared his tune “Can’t Stop Running”. But that’s because the bassist keeps putting together great variations on it (if you’re interested in the first two, check out the original and his...

Meet Zakk Zodiac, a bassist from Australia who is about as diverse as they come (and more proof you can’t judge a book by its cover). Not only that, he has an incredibly entertaining story to share. Zakk is No Treble’s reader in the spotlight for the week of June 9, 2014. Enjoy. Bio: A punk rock bassist who at...

Many of the videos we shared in May turned out to be monsters – breaking all kinds of records for video views — in the tens of thousands. And I do believe this has to be among the most diverse top 10 bass video lists we’ve shared so far. Here are the top 10 most watched videos by No Treble...

Miki Santamaria is back with another stunning version of his arrangement of Stevie Wonder's "Overjoyed". This time around, Miki is joined by drummer Dani Ktna, who create a new vibe on the arrangement. Still stunning

The first week of June was a huge one, thanks in part to our fourth ever Isolated Bass week. Those isolated tracks combined for nearly 60,000 listens. But there was more bass goodness than that… including some new gear, great bass videos, a unique Bass of the Week, some how-to’s and some exciting stories. Here is your top 10 for...

We’re closing out Isolated Bass Week 4 with our first ever isolated bass entry by the one and only Jaco Pastorius. This isolated bass track of “Domingo” came from The Birthday Concert recording session. And who better than Peter Erskine to describe it: “On a whim, I asked mix engineer James Farber to run a quick mix (at the end...

No Isolated Bass Week would be complete without one of the stunning bass lines by the one and only James Jamerson. Today we’re in for a treat with the beautiful bass line behind the Jackson 5 tune, “Darling Dear” from Third Album, released in 1970. I love being able to hear the bass with the vocals to hear how Jamerson...

Rush’s Moving Pictures was one of the first albums I ever bought – on vinyl – when it came out. I only played upright at the time (and sax), and I dreamed of one day getting an electric bass and playing like Geddy Lee. Here’s one of the tracks I admired with so many others back in the day (and...

I’m not as familiar with the music of Rage Against the Machine as many of you probably are. So for today’s isolated bass, I consulted with NT’s Managing Editor Kevin Johnson – our resident expert in everything I’m not an expert in. Kevin said RATM is known for their big groove and it’s neat to hear this isolated bass track.
