Nenad Vasilic shared his latest video with us. From the streets of Vienna, here’s his solo bass version of the song “Ljudi, Nije Fer” by SMAK.

Form Factor Audio is expanding its product lineup from bass amps to include instrument stands. Made in California, the stands are built for both bass and guitar use.

Harley Benton has added the MV-4JB Gotoh bass to their lineup, which takes its name from its upgraded Gotoh GB-7 tuners. The J-style bass is available in four finishes.

Six years ago today, we were devastated to learn of Victor Bailey’s passing. We’re honoring him today with this clip with Vic, Lenny White, and Larry Coryell from the 2006 Jazz Triumph Festival, and their cover of Led Zepplin’s “Black Dog.”

The numbers are in, and now it’s time to share the top 10 reader favorite videos for the month of October.

JET Pedals has released the Red Sea, a new analog utility pedal that offers complex signal routing options. The routing matrix allows for stereo and mono signal options for live performance that the company says has only been found in a studio environment.
