Top 10: The Most Watched Bass Videos (June 2023)

Here’s a classic video from the early days of Youtube featuring monster bassists Marcus Miller and Tal Wilkenfeld. This one goes all the way back to NAMM 2007!

It’s no secret that Prince was a unique musician. Having worked with some monster bassists, Prince was definitely one funky thumper himself! We catch a glimpse of that in this live performance of "What's My Name?"

Ellen Alaverdyan recently celebrated her 11th birthday, and she’s back with another fantastic video. Check out Ellen playing through Muse’s “Hysteria.”

In 1985, “Axel F” was a monster hit. Charles Berthoud, inspired by Crazy Frog, took the tune and added his usual magic.

Which each new video Ellen Alaverdyan shares, I’m more impressed. And that’s saying a lot. Ellen has fun performing some funky slap and fingerstyle on “The Secret Society Of The Flying Thumb.”

I stumbled upon the musician known as KNULP on Youtube, and I was blown away. KNULP performs multiple tunes on multiple instruments. Here she is performing Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb.”

Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade and Adrian Belew are currently touring together, and now we have a fan-shot video of them on stage together. Here they are performing “Thela Hun Ginjeet.”

George Collier put together this video of Joe Dart doing his thing during a live Vulfpeck performance of “Beastly” in 2017. And he included the notation and tab for it.

Jimmy Haslip currently holds the bass chair for the legendary Jeff Lorber Fusion group. Here they are at Jazz Kitchen, and Jimmy solos on the track “What’s The Deal?” from the “Prototype” album.

I love Bill Bruford’s channel and the stories he shares with each video. Here’s a clip he shared of U.K. and their official video for “In The Dead Of Night.” What a band!
