Top 10: The Most Watched Bass Videos (August 2016)
Here’s a top 10 list that should keep you busy today… aka the 10 most watched videos on No Treble for the month of August.
Thanks for watching, commenting and sharing!
1. Dudley Moore & Kenny Rogers: Satin Doll
A video has been making the rounds on Facebook, thanks to Freemont’s Office – and it was quite unexpected. Dudley Moore and Kenny Rogers performed “Satin Doll” on The Tonight Show (date unknown). What surprised us all was that Rogers was on double bass…
2. That Funky Old Guy: Vulfpeck’s “Fugue State” Playthrough
No Treble reader Zac Sebo sent us this video saying “I found this hilarious guy covering Vulfpeck and thought you’d like it. I bet it would go over well with all your fans.” We have no idea who That Funky Old Guy is (though we’re pretty sure he’s much younger than advertised)…
3. Stuart Clayton: Giants of Bass – Flea
Stuart Clayton just added a new video showcasing his work in progress on the new edition of Giants of Bass. In this video, he tackles the style of Flea – particularly the style of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Blood Sugar Sex Magik era. Dig the tone on that 1976 Music Man StingRay!
4. Troy Hughes: Rush’s “The Big Money” Playthrough
Troy Hughes has a knack for nailing Geddy Lee’s lines. So much so that he’s featured on the Rush website. However, he couldn’t quite get the tone perfect for songs from the Power Windows album until an incredible trip to get the bass he’d always wanted…
5. Adam “Nolly” Getgood: “Prayer Position” Bass Playthrough
We first featured Periphery’s Adam “Nolly” Getgood with an epic bass cam video for their song “Make Total Destroy“. Now Nolly is back with another face-melting run-through with the song “Prayer Position” from the band’s latest album, Periphery III: Select Difficulty. The bassist rips it up with an absolutely crushing tone…
6. Magnus Sjöquist: Visa från utanmyra
Ubass connoisseur Magnus Sjöquist sent us an all-bass version of a Swedish folk song called “Visa från utanmyra”, and it’s beautiful. “My version is inspired by the lovely version by Swedish pianist Jan Johansson and upright bassist Georg Riedel,” he told us…
Here’s another band I recently discovered that just blew me away. House of Waters features the trio of Hammered Dulcimer virtuoso Max ZT, bassist Moto Fukushima and percussionist Luke Notary. Members of the band have some impressive credentials too…
8. Prairie Prince and Bobby Vega: Chicken And Waffles
EMGtv has a great video in their archives of Bobby Vega, Prairie Prince and Chris Rossbach performing “Chicken And Waffles”. And here it is!
9. The 4 Korners: Portal of Gold
I recently discovered The 4 Korners, and I’m glad I did. Anchored by bassist James “JT” Thompson Jr., here’s the band performing a track from their sophomore album, Portal of Gold…
10. Spare Parts: Four Sticks (Led Zeppelin Cover)
Spare Parts sent us their latest, and this time is a little different than we’ve seen from them previously. Filmed by Jody Michael Miller, here’s the trio anchored by Colin Scott performing their cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Four Sticks”…
