Rebecca Johnson just shared a new video from one of her gigs, and this one gets down. Here she is getting funky with “You Got The Love” (from Rufus & Chaka Khan’s album, “Rags to Rufus.”)

KEXP is bringing it lately. They just dropped videos by Curtis Harding performing live at THING festival in August. I’m really digging this performance of “Won’t Let You Down,” with the fat bass sounds of Aaron Stern.

Time is flying by, and at the start of each month, we look back. Here is your monthly roundup of the top 10 bass gear stories based on reader views.

Last night I was browsing our huge collection of videos. One that caught my eye (and ears) was Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen’s “When You Get Back.” So I looked for more and found this one of the band performing “Mo Hippa.”

Leonid & Friends continues to expand their covers, and as always, they nailed it. Leonid Vorobyev and the band take on the Chaka Khan and Rufus tune, “Ain’t Nobody,” in honor of lead vocalist Ksenia Buzina’s birthday.

I’ve been spinning Lari Basilio’s “Your Love” quite a bit lately. Here’s the video for “All To You,” which features Leland Sklar’s tasty bass lines backing up the band that also includes Vinnie Colaiuta and Ester Na.

First Circle is an impressive band that does some fantastic Pat Metheny Group covers. They filmed this one in Montreal in March, with the band taking on one of my favorites: “Last Train Home.”

As this week comes to a close, we’re looking back once again at the top 10 No Treble reader favorites. This week included some exciting news, a great bass lesson, and our interview with Joel Quarrington.

We recently shared a video from the archives of Faces performing “Stay with Me.” Richard Tofts and Steve Boisen recommended we check out the isolated bass and drums clip from the tune. Here’s Ronnie Lane and Kenney Jones great work on the tune.

Martin Miller has a new video out, and this time the band is joined by guitarist Lari Basilio for a cover of Derek and the Dominos’ “Layla.” Bassist Ben Jud kicks off the vocals before the tune kicks into higher gear.
