Franck Hermanny: All Bass Cover of Greg Howe’s “Jump Start”
Bassist Franck Hermanny put together this video to demo recording multiple bass tracks on video (started out as three, then became four). For the demo, he chose to do his all-bass cover of Greg Howe’s “Jump Start” (with some drums in the mix). While it isn’t a complete song performance, what he does is quite... »
Andrea Lombardini: Brian Eno’s “By This River” for Solo Bass
I’m on a bit of a solo bass kick lately, in case you didn’t notice. And in a mellow mood today. This video served up the perfect combo. Andrea Lombardini took Brian Eno’s “By This River” and arranged it for solo bass, with the help of some “bottle neck” styling, thanks to a glass he... »

Josh “Bass Mountain” Townsend: For My Father
Josh “Bass Mountain” Townsend sent in this very personal performance of his original song, “For My Father.” He wrote the song without understanding what it was about until his father passed away. “I always knew that it was a special song, but I could never figure out why,” Townsend wrote. “I could never pick a... »
All Bass Birthday Celebration with Viaceslav Svedov
You may have heard today is No Treble’s fourth birthday. So we decided to continue the celebration with the only kind of video that makes sense on a day like this.

No Treble reader John Stam sent us a video by Aram Bedrosian, remarking how Aram “is a master of chords, and hauntingly melodic playing…” The video he recommended was Aram’s performance of his original tune, “A Dark Light”, which we shared about two years ago. But that took me down the path of exploring more... »
I don’t remember when we first discovered the music of Aaron Gibson, but ever since that day he’s been one of my favorite bassists. It has been a while since Aaron posted a video, because he’s been devoting more of his time to animating rather than writing music. The tune is “Waiting”, Aaron’s own composition... »
