There was a time when the Olsen twins were those tiny and adorable sitcom stars on a show called Full House. I’m sure that those of you who remember the show also remember the theme song. Sebastiano Mereu shares his bass arrangement, noting that it was a lot of fun to play. Turns out, he made it fun to listen...

Bassist Viktor Lorincz has a great duo with László Peck called B2Men. The two are best friends and grew up together, so naturally they got into music together. Here’s a cool version of Sting’s “Shape of My Heart” featuring the duo on bass and voice.

The Musikmesse show in Frankfurt, Germany is coming up, so to mark the occasion, here’s a video from the Musikmesse two years ago. This is the French/Russian power trio, Impact Fuze, with Anton Davidyants on bass doing a funky jam over Miles Davis’ tune “Splatch”.

During the 2010 EuroBassDay, Federico Malaman – armed with a Laurus bass and a looper – showcased his solo bass skills at the Tecamp and Laurus booth. Federico took Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and made it his own great all-bass performance.

Yep, we dig it when bassists take pop tunes and turn up the awesome meter by arranging them as a solo bass piece. Here’s Ben Hands doing his thing to make Adele’s “Someone Like You” way cooler. (We may be biased).

A while back, we shared a video of MonoNeon jamming out part of the soundtrack to the original Sonic the Hedgehog game. Now he’s back with a bass cover of the theme to the Martin Lawrence Show. Who knew one minute of music could be so funky?

Bassists love covering Jimi Hendrix, and we give that a big thumbs up here at No Treble HQ. Here’s Rodolfo Valdifiori doing his thing with a groove inspired by Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child”.

Antonio Angotti shared this interesting mashup with us, with the bassist playing Chris Wolstenholme’s bass line from Muse’s “Panic Station” against Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition”. Very cool… and a little mind-bending too.

No Treble reader Kaleb Staples shared this video with us saying it “seems like something you guys would like.” You know us so well, Kaleb. This is Aces of Bass, a clever name for a quintet of double bassists performing a medley of tunes by the Swedish pop band, Ace of Base. The medley includes “The Sign”, “All That She...

One way to make a tune better is to turn it into an all-bass arrangement (or at least a bass-focused version). That may sound simple, but as you’ll see in the videos below, it often takes a remarkable combination of skill and musicianship. Sometimes going so far to seem impossible, even with the video proof. Here are the top 10...

When we first featured Marcelo Feldman he was covering Jackson 5’s “I’ll Be There“. This time he’s tackling Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”. Watch for his rendition of the guitar solo played on a green-stringed Stingray.

One of the highlights of this year’s Gerald Veasley Bass Bootcamp was the Bass & The Beatles concert on Saturday night. The camp’s clinicians took the stage to perform their bass-focused takes on Beatles’ songs. The night closed with a pretty epic, special four-bass arrangement of “Come Together”. Bassists Adam Nitti, Patrick Pfeiffer, Gerald Veasley and Michael Manring combined to...
