Thanks for watching, commenting and sharing!
1. Julie Slick: Adrian Belew Power Trio “E” Bass Playthrough
Back in October, Julie Slick’s playthrough of the Adrian Belew Power Trio’s “B3” blew us away. Now she’s posted an even crazier video for the song “e”. Slick plays seemingly impossible lines with ease while her friend Ben paints his room (and her). Prepare to have your face melted…
2. VoBa Sound Experience: Do You Know Who / Continuum
Roberto Pace shared this video of his duo with vocalist Chiara D’Emilio. This time around, they offer something a little different – their tribute to Jaco Pastorius and Victor Bailey…
3. Federico Malaman Trio: Caravan
The Sligo Jazz Project shared this excellent video of Federico Malaman with his trio performing “Caravan”. Check out the solo by Federico!
Six-string bass monster Snow Owl (aka Juan Garcia-Herreros) put his own spin on a classic funky track, and it’s epic. Seawind’s “Devil Is A Liar” has an already killer bass line, but the bassist’s energy and extra fills add just that much more fun to the track…
5. Metallica: Atlas Rise / For Whom The Bell Tolls on Jimmy Kimmel Live
Metallica made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on December 14th in support of their new album, Hardwired… to Self-Destruct. They performed “Atlas, Rise!”, from the new album in the first segment before going old school in the second with “For Whom The Bell Tolls”…
6. America Paz and Eduardo Sitja: Street Jam

7. Linus Klausenitzer: Obscura’s “Akroasis” Bass Playthrough
Buckle up: Obscura bassist Linus Klausenitzer has posted a new playthrough for the title track to the band’s latest album, Akroasis. Armed with a seven-string fretless, the Klausenitzer tears it up with blazing sixteenth-note runs alongside melodic counter lines…
8. Fernando Lamadrid: Iniciático
One of our favorite bassists is back with a new video. Fernando Lamadrid leads this band in their performance of his original tune, “Iniciático”…
9. Audun Ramo: Hendrix’s “Manic Depression” Upright Slap Cover
Jimi Hendrix’s “Manic Depression” has one of the coolest bass and guitar lines ever. Here’s an awesome version of it by bassist Audun Ramo, who adds some upright slap to the mix…
10. Miki Santamaria and Anna Sentina: Dangerous
Miki Santamaria teamed up with bassist Anna Sentina and drummer COOP3RDRUMM3R to put together this cover of David Guetta’s “Dangerous.” Miki handled the arrangement on this, which features plenty of bass goodness…
