It’s always a good day to share Bach, especially if it’s performed with two basses. Today we’re featuring Mark Smith and No Treble contributor Ariane Cap making a duet out of the genius composer’s work, Prelude #2.

Our good friends Magnus Sjöquist and Ariane Cap put together this cool video featuring a U-Bass duo. In this clip, they perform a cool arrangement of U2’s “With or Without You,” with some great solos along the way.

You may know her best from her Talking Technique lessons on No Treble, but if you haven’t dug deeper on the impressive career of bassist, Ariane Cap, you don’t know what you’re missing. Ari is our guest for this month’s episode of Groove.

Marleaux is celebrating 30 years in business this year. So Lisa Wulff, Lisa Köberlein, Nicole Badila, Joanna Dudkowska, and Ariane Cap got together to put together a special video to mark the event. “Best Friends” is an epic bass tune, written by Wulff.

Ariane Cap and Josh Cohen have teamed up to create Solo Bass Night, a performance series that features and promotes solo bass music. The concerts have their roots from an event nearly 15 years ago.

We have a special “Talking Technique” episode in honor of No Treble’s 10th anniversary this month. It's all about Dominant 7 13 Chord (and some birthday celebration too).

When I was at the Marleaux booth at the NAMM Show yesterday, Ariane Cap told me about a cool video Marleaux artists put together. Each musician got a drum track and was asked to play 8 bars each. The result is pretty incredible.
