Our week-long celebration of “all bass” continues, with this isolated bass track for Led Zeppelin’s 1969 classic, “Ramble On”, from “Led Zeppelin II.” John Paul Jones and his awesome, melodic bass line from the tune is heard loud and clear, the way we like it

Today we’re kicking off a week-long celebration of bass with a number of isolated bass tracks, starting with the bass work of Chris Squire on the classic Yes hit “Roundabout”.

Last week, No Treble readers enjoyed more 6-string bass coverage than we think we’ve ever shared in a given week. Ibanez’s new 6-string SR Premium bass, Eastwood Guitars’ interesting Sidejack VI Bass Guitar and Basone Guitars’ new 6-String Bass Guitar all made the top 10 most read stories of the week. Also in gear, Lemmy Kilmister’s Nick Page Gott 4...

Esperanza Spalding made a stop on the Daily Show recently, and closed out the show with “Crowned & Kissed”, one of the tracks on the bassist’s new album, Radio Music Society. We’ve been fans for Jon Stewart for some time, but we had no idea he was an air bassist. We love how Esperanza breaks down how holding the bass...

Here’s another unearthed gem from Weather Report’s live performances in 1978, with one of the greatest line-ups in the band’s history: Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius and Peter Erskine. In this video, the group performs the beautiful Zawinul tune, “A Remark You Made”, which was quite the showcase for Jaco’s fretless sound, playing off of Shorter’s sax. As we...

Here’s the drill: take a tune anchored by one phenomenal bassist and have it covered by another. This is Marcus Miller and his band covering Tower of Power’s “What is Hip”, which of course featured the bass work of Rocco Prestia. TOP fans might notice a difference in tempo from the original. Drummer Jason “JT” Thomas said that Marcus “started...

Inspired by yesterday’s news of the Jerry Scheff‘s autobiography release, I got into watching a bunch of videos featuring the legendary bassist. Among them was this clip of Jerry with the band Tributosaurus performing the Doors’ classic, “Riders on the Storm”. This performance took place in 2007, at the Lakland 10th Anniversary concert in Chicago. Awseomeness. And, because it was...

Alternative rock band fIREHOSE, anchored by bassist Mike Watt, have released a new box set featuring their work from the early ’90s. lowFLOWs: The Columbia Anthology (’91 – ’93) offers up 45 tracks, including both of the band’s albums on Columbia Records (Flyin’ The Flannel and Mr. Machinery Operator), as well as 15 tracks of out-of-print and previously unreleased recordings....

It would be near impossible to top the stories Jerry Scheff can tell from his 45-year career in music. Being Elvis’ bassist alone would be worthy of a book. Add to that his time with Bob Dylan, the Doors, Roy Orbison, Elvis Costello, the Association, Neil Diamond, Johnny Mathis, the Everly Brothers, John Denver, Nancy Sinatra and many many others,...

Meet Chris “Topher” Clark, a bassist studying at Berklee who got his start in music after hearing Led Zeppelin at the age of 5. Chris is our player in the spotlight for the week of April 10, 2012.
