Weekly Top 10 - Page 30

So much bass goodness, it hardly fits in a single top 10 list. But we managed to squeeze these in. Here are the most viewed stories, videos, lessons and more on No Treble for the week of May 6 – 12, 2012. Thanks for reading! 1. Playing Chords: A Guide for Bassists Q: I recently bought a 6-string bass and...

So much new bass gear! Last week, No Treble readers hit the gear coverage hard, especially the new basses from Fender, Warwick, Hofner and Epiphone. Readers either loved the ML Basses Volcan, our Bass of the Week, or they didn’t, but it did get a ton of attention as well. The latest “Ask Damian Erskine” column was another great conversation...

Two videos ran neck and neck for the top slot last week: Dirty Loops and Henrik Linder’s take on the Adele tune, “Rolling In The Deep” and Pino Palladino with the John Mayer Trio, performing “Who Did You Think I Was”/”Power of Soul”. On Saturday, we shared that with readers, who voted with their views and put Henrik and company...

Last week, we celebrated the greatest instrument ever with our Isolated Bass Week series. This was a major hit, with some legendary bass tracks from Paul McCartney, Geddy Lee, John Entwistle, Wilton Felder, John Paul Jones, Chris Squire and James Jamerson, isolated in all their glory. They all made the top ten, so we included them all for the #1...

Last week, No Treble readers enjoyed more 6-string bass coverage than we think we’ve ever shared in a given week. Ibanez’s new 6-string SR Premium bass, Eastwood Guitars’ interesting Sidejack VI Bass Guitar and Basone Guitars’ new 6-String Bass Guitar all made the top 10 most read stories of the week. Also in gear, Lemmy Kilmister’s Nick Page Gott 4...

Turns out last week had a bit of a fretless focus to it, with the first two of the Top 10 most read features focusing on that very subject. Damian Erskine kicks things off with his take on making the switch to fretless (with some great commentary added by No Treble readers). Plus, the announcement of Duesenberg’s new D-Bass Fretless...

Last week’s top bass videos ran the gamut, starting with the isolated bass track of John Paul Jones on Led Zeppelin’s “What Is And What Should Never Be”. Then there was 14-year old Keisuke Baba causing jaws to drop with his bass play-along to RHCP’s “Tell Me Baby” (with 8 months experience on bass!) Plus Marcus Miller giving us a...

Just as we’re finally nearing the end of the 2012 NAMM news comes news from the 2012 Musikmesse show. Top gear stories from last week include Rotosound’s new bass string cleaner, Godin’s Shifter Classic 4 bass, Fender’s updated American Standard Series Jazz and Precision and Sandberg’s Electra Vs 4 bass and Warwick’s two new Robert Trujillo Signature basses. Also, our...

Last week, No Treble readers enjoyed a variety of gear features, including news from AC Guitars, and the release of their J-Type models, as well as our latest Custom Shop cover story on Wilkins Guitars and the unique and odd bass of the week – the one string Atlansia Solitaire. The top bass videos featured Richard Bona doing just about...

Last week was a week of more gear, old and new. In the new category, No Treble readers enjoyed the news about the Ultra-Light Bass from Traveler Guitar, the new Demonator 4 “Chaos” Bass from Dean, and the unique DevilWing Bass from Oktober. In Old School, we took a look at Jay Fortier‘s 1963 Fender Jazz bass, including the great...

Last week, No Treble readers enjoyed the latest gear coverage, especially Epifani’s AL Series aluminum combos and cabinets and Ashdown’s new ABM-1000 and ABM-2000 amps. Our bass of the week, the Rob Allen MB-2 bass, was another hit feature. In the video category, Victor Wooten and the Roots rip it up in the (too short) video from the Jimmy Fallon...

If you can believe it, we’re still posting articles about gear announced at NAMM. And it is obviously worth doing (and we’re not complaining, either). Half of last week’s Top 10 focused on new bass gear announced during the show, from Boulder Creek’s entry into the solid body electric space, to new signature basses from Jackson (Dave Ellefson), Ibanez (Gerald...
