Isn’t it great that when a week ends, we can look at all this great stuff from the world of bass? Here are the most watched videos and most read stories on No Treble for the week of February 23 – March 1, 2014. Thanks for reading, watching, commenting and sharing. 1.

Evan Marien is releasing his new album, We Are All You on March 18th. In advance of the release, he’s shared the video for the album’s first track, “I Can’t Complain”. The album is currently available for pre-order on Bandcamp.

News from the 2014 Winter NAMM Show continued throughout February (and I think we still have more coming). And that always makes for an exciting time in the world of bass. Here are the top 10 most popular gear stories on No Treble in February, based on readership. Thanks as always for reading, commenting and sharing! 1. Rickenbacker 4003W Bass...

Our friend Cory OBrien sent this video of Meshell Ndegeocello performing her tune “Loyalty” live on the Chris Rock Show. Cory said the tune “exemplifies the impact of tone + feel and and the power [of] defining the pocket.” I couldn’t say it any better than that. Enjoy.

Jaco, the much anticipated documentary film about Jaco Pastorius is in the news once again. The film, produced by Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo and directed by Stephen Kijak and Paul Marchand has been selected as the Official Film of Record Store Day 2014. The one day event takes place on April 19, 2014. “Record Store Day is a celebration of...

You know, I’m really missing the NAMM Show (and the Bass Bash events that go with it). So here’s something to ease the pain… Uriah Duffy’s performance at the best event happening in Anaheim during the annual Winter NAMM Show. Uriah kicks things off with a killer solo bass version of Lorde’s “Royals“ before the whole band kicks in… and...

Meet Bambo Kino, a musician from Ohio who was bitten by the bass bug in 1970 and never looked back. He also has one of the coolest stage names I can recall, and an interesting list in response to the “influences” question. Bambo is No Treble’s reader in the spotlight for the week of February 24, 2014. Bio: The music...

I was the oldest guy in the No Treble crew, and Snarky Puppy went on really late at the 2014 NAMM Bass Bash this year. So I missed their performance in favor of some much needed sleep. Thanks to the guys at Gospel Chops, we have this video of Michael League and the gang to enjoy.

This video was filmed over three years ago I believe, but somehow I’ve missed it all this time. Victor Wooten with his brother, guitarist Regi Wooten, and drummer Steve Smith decided to jam in the studio. The result was the trio’s unique version Herbie Hancock’s “Chameleon”.

This week’s top 10 is one of the most balanced I’ve ever seen: great bass videos, lessons and how-to’s, news, Ryan’s interview with David Hood, and one killer bass of the week. Here is your top 10 for the week of February 16-22, 2014. Thanks for reading, commenting and sharing. 1. Yolanda Charles: NAMM Bass Bash 2014 One of the...

The last time we featured a video by Fernando Lamadrid (“Mollete Express“), everyone went crazy. That included Stuart Clayton, who transcribed the tune to challenge us all. Fernando is back with a new video for the tune “Grasa Original” he just recorded in the studio with drummer Rick Arencibia. Man, this is good.

Miki Santamaria never ceases to amaze us, and it would seem he raises the bar with each new video. Here he is performing his solo bass arrangement of Stevie Wonder’s “Overjoyed”, a song he calls one of his favorites. The bass is a Yamaha BB2024X, and he’s using reverb from Garage Band. Amazing.
