Top 10: The Most Watched Bass Videos (July 2014)

by Corey Brown Monday, August 11th, 2014

We smashed all previous records of visits to No Treble in the month of July, thanks in large part to the #1 most watched video of the month. You probably saw it already, and if you’re like us, you’ll love watching it again.

There were nine other videos that got a ton of attention in July as well. Add them all up, and you have an epic list of bass-focused videos to watch.

As much as I loved all the videos, #6 might be my favorite. How about you?

6. Meshell Ndegeocello: Pink Moon

Earlier this year, Meshell Ndegeocello appeared on “Off the Record”. One of the songs performed was her cover of Nick Drake’s “Pink Moon”. The way Meshell plays the bass is so distinctive and full of feel, as always…

7. Wojtek Pilichowski: Open Bass Solo

Every time I see there’s a new Wojtek Pilichowski video, I have to check it out. This one in particular made my jaw drop. In this video, the bassist whips up one of the most insane slap solos I’ve heard…

8. Funk Brothers with Bob Babbitt: “Mercy Mercy Me”, Live 2004

We remembered the legendary bassist Bob Babbitt, who passed away two years ago on July 16, 2012. Here’s a video of the legend performing “Mercy Mercy Me”…

9. Adam Prado: Bass Improv Session

Adam Prado sent this video with us, which sounds like it almost didn’t happen. “I was just messing around with my new TC Electronics Ditto Looper and the camera just started to roll,” he shared. This is just plain funky…
