Watch: Lari Basilio at Spoleto Jazz 2025 with Arthur de Palla’s Bass Leading the Groove
If you’re watching Lari Basilio’s set from Spoleto Jazz 2025, the bass is impossible to miss. Arthur de Palla is on a Music Man 5 string through a Laney stack, and the sound is big and clear right out front. Im just loving his fat, deep tone in this one. He is driving the band the whole time, locking in with the drums, he is the glue of this performance.
The Music Man has that familiar punch, and the Laney rig adds some serious size without turning things muddy. It is a bass tone that fills the space and keeps the band moving.
No Treble CEO Jody Miller is a Chicago-based bassist, guitarist, engineer, and producer best known for his bass gear demo videos and as the co-host of The Bass Nerds podcast.
