Damian Erskine kicks things off with his take on making the switch to fretless (with some great commentary added by No Treble readers). Plus, the announcement of Duesenberg’s new D-Bass Fretless...

Last week’s top bass videos ran the gamut, starting with the isolated bass track of John Paul Jones on Led Zeppelin’s “What Is And What Should Never Be”. Then there was 14-year old Keisuke Baba causing jaws to drop with his bass play-along to RHCP’s “Tell Me Baby” (with 8 months experience on bass!) Plus Marcus Miller giving us a...

As we looked back at the most read stories, columns and features on No Treble last month, one thing is clear: you guys love the Bass of the Week feature.

Doug Alexis: The Chicken Facebook friend Art Araya shared this remarkable and unique video of bassist Doug Alexis performing his own take on “The Chicken”. The tune,...

February might be the shortest month, but it was also a record breaking month for traffic on No Treble. Here are the top 10 most read articles, features and interviews on No Treble in February, 2012.

We published our first list of the top 10 all-bass covers back in December, 2010. We’ve also featured a variation, with ten Jimi Hendrix-inspired bass videos. And of course, our Bass Cover Week, where we asked...

If you can believe it, we’re still posting articles about gear announced at NAMM. And it is obviously worth doing (and we’re not complaining, either).
