This week was an exciting one for us – we debuted Rufus Philpot’s new lesson series, Creative Bass Lines. No Treble readers enjoyed that as well as Ariane Cap’s new Talking Technique lesson on double stops. That, plus some new bass gear, some epic videos and more make up this week’s list of reader favorites. Thanks for reading, watching, commenting...

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!

This may be Zander Zon’s most ambitious effort to date. Zander plays three basses in this latest video, where he is once again joined by vocalists KJC, who also provide piano and violin on the track. Here’s their take on Coldplay’s “Hymn for the Weekend”.

Meet Marcin Sypniewski, a high school student in Poland who stays busy with school and fills every extra minute with his musical pursuit. Marcin got his start like many bassists – no one was playing the bass when he formed a band with friends – but he’s extremely happy with how that turned out. Marcin is this week’s No Treble...

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”.

Bassist Jason Kishander sent me this video, and it is quite clever. They took one of the most recognizable ring tones (“Opening” on iPhone), and turned it into this bass and drums jam. It took me a minute to focus on the video and not pick up my phone. Then things got really interesting.

Time to celebrate the most popular stories, features, videos and more from No Treble for the week. Thanks as always for reading, 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...

Adam Ben Ezra is back with a new live – and quite epic – video with his trio. “I first wrote ‘India Time’ after my return from an inspired journey of new and real sounds from beautiful India,” he shares. “Here I am with my Trio recording live my Indian experience.”

Our good friend Tim Starace sent us one of the latest from the virtual band YYNOT, who just nails these Rush covers. Here’s the quartet performing “Book I: The Voyage”, which appeared on A Farewell to Kings. Dig Tim’s tone!

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). Still, this is a solid playthrough, and pretty...

Jason Tebble sent us this video of his band Circus VIII’s first single, which he said “is full of funk bad ass bass beans!” We watched it, and we have to agree 100%. We can’t wait to hear more from this band. Dig it.

Cody Wright has been busy working on his solo debut album, A Bass Only a Mother Could Love!, which is scheduled to release soon through Ropeadope Records. Here’s “Bass & Drum Ultra Funk”, a tune featuring some nifty bass work by Cody who is joined by 14 year old drummer Igor Galecki. Cody calls Igor a “drum wizard” and says...
