Solo Bass Archives - Page 10

Viaceslav Svedov amazes me and cracks me up whenever he gets the ContraBass Balalaika out and plays. Here’s a video where he’s decided to add distortion to the mix and rock out to Led Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll”. Oh yeah.

Here is a video that will freak you out musically and visually. Josh Cohen created a beautiful, funky arrangement of Herbie Hancock’s “Chameleon,” and decided to do something a little different for the video. The bassist is clad in an all white suit and moves erratically to emphasize parts of the song. While the visual dynamic may be bizarre, the...

Viktor L?rincz is one of those bassists who don’t seem to need anyone to help him put together some super enjoyable music. He just shared one of his new videos with us where he plays a fun old school rock tune. Enjoy (and dig that ring!)

Jesús Rico Pérez shared his latest – and impressive – solo bass performance a few days ago. Enjoy “Wandering” – a composition featuring some sweet fretless tone, and harmonics.

Alessandro Corsi has taken things to a new level with his latest solo bass arrangement. The bassist covers Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” with an infectious amount of charisma.

Simon Fitzpatrick is back with a new solo bass arrangement. This is Toto’s “Rosanna”, which once again showcases both his incredible musicianship and technique. I forgot how many things go on in this tune, and Simon nails them all. In case you’re wondering, Simon is playing a Sei Bass Flamboyant 6.

Light some incense and get ready for a trip. Kike Mora sent us this video for his solo bass song “Dhy?na,” in which he uses a drone and effects to create a four-minute meditative experience.

Hold the phone… we have a brand new Aaron Gibson video. And once again, the talented bassist shows his creativity not only with music, but also with his video skills. This song has an even bigger purpose. “My friend, Andy Irvine, asked me to do a cover of his song. He has a passion for the plight of the rhinoceros...

Scott Varney has a knack of writing and performing tunes with a great, chill vibe. The talented bassist recently decided to submit a performance of one of his recent songs to NPR for their “Tiny Desk” series. “The only rules were you needed to record an original song at a desk (any desk),” Scott told us. “The weather has been...

During the 2013 Jazz à Vienne show, Marcus Miller took the stage with his band and over just a couple of songs, took the audience for quite a musical ride. In this clip, Marcus starts things off with his solo bass arrangement of “I’ll Be There” (which he recorded on Renaissance). As that song came to an end, he jumped...

It has been a while since we’ve featured a video by bassist Adam Stevens. Luckily, he’s shared another great solo bass arrangement. This time around, Adam takes on “Wake Me Up” by Avicii, which also features Aloe Blacc. Enjoy.

We’ve been lucky to know bassist Jesús Rico Pérez for a couple of years now. Over that time, Jesús has shared some pretty incredible videos showcasing his technique – but a technique that is about delivering the music, not a fireworks show. In this new video, Jesús plays both a piccolo bass and fretless with an e-bow. Stunning, as always.
