I’ve seen a few renditions of Mozart’s Turkish March done on bass, but this one is my favourite so far. It is performed by Grzegorz Kosi?ski on his Spector 5-string. This must be very tiring on his right arm to play though as he (for the most part of the song) only uses one finger on his right hand!

Here’s bassist Larry Grenadier taking a great upright bass solo with Metheny/Mehldau Quartet.

Check out this creatively edited video of Markus Strasser playing a short bass solo dedicated to Victor Wooten.

The following video features Edo Castro taking the song “Remembering” by Johnse Holt, and arranging and performing it as a solo bass loop tune.

This guy who goes by the alias of “Golfybass” seems to be only wearing a pair of boxers in the following video of him performing his song Moving Average on a piccolo-strung bass. I apologize for that, but I promise that the video will be worth it!

Jon Reshard, who is the current bassist for Greg Howe, first caught my attention on the Gospelchops Bass DVD, where he did a cool medley of a few songs he had arranged for bass. In the medley was parts of Billy Joel’s “She’s Always A Woman”:

This is the Hungarian folk song, “A csitári hegyek alatt”, adapted to bass guitar and performed by L?rincz Viktor, aka Victor L.

Buddy Hankerson (of Steve Arrington’s Hall Of Fame) was a man ahead of his time. Check out this performance, filmed 26 years ago.

Here’s Israeli bassist Ran Levi doing a cool bass solo on his 6-string Ken Smith bass. I like his phrasing a lot.

This is a fun video from Fabio Meridiani, showcasing his rig and his funky bass playing.
