Scott Mulvahill is a beast of a double bass player in Nashville, but just because he’s in the country music capital of the world doesn’t mean he can’t shred some jazz. In this clip he tackles the masterful Jaco Pastorius song, “Teen Town” on the upright. “The bass nerds know what I’m talking about. It’s our favorite gameboy-disco-jazz-bass-shred classic,” he...

They can be annoying, but sometimes algorithms get it right. YouTube suggested this video of Elephant Gym performing their songs “Finger” and “Midway” live at the Megaport Festival and I was hooked. The Taiwanese band is composed of siblings Tell Chang Kai-hsiung and Tif Chang Kai-ting with drummer Tu Chia-chin. Tif takes the lead on the bass, laying down luscious...

Today we’re celebrating the late, great Phil Lynott’s birthday with a clip from The Old Grey Whistle Test. The Thin Lizzy frontman is in top shape performing his song “Ode To A Black Man” from his debut solo album, Solo in Soho, released in 1980. The bassist lays on the root to dig his signature snarling tone out of his...

You can always rely on Damian Coccio to share some stunning solo bass music. Here’s a recent one with his composition for two basses and an Ebow. He says “the ‘pad’ sound on the Ebow comes from the Strymon Big Sky shimmer reverb.” Beautiful, as always.

When I was a kid, I wore out my copy of Yes’ Fragile, and in particular, the track “The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus),” thanks of course to Chris Squire. Here’s a great live clip of the band performing it (after “Long Distance Runaround”) in 2004 at Lugano. This brings back great memories.

No Treble reader William Noftsinger sent us this video with a simple note: “I’m playing a Bach Cello Suite on an old Fender.” We dig the exercise and that sweet old school bass.

Derrick Elliott sent us this new video by his band, Coevality, and I was an instant fan. Of course, I’m always a sucker for great fretless bass, and Derrick brings it on this tune. The track will be part of the band’s upcoming album, Multiple Personalities, which the band describes as “[blending] a good amount of different styles and genres...

Reverb’s Jake Hawrylak breaks down the work of Pino Palladino, focusing on the Soulquarians era of his work. Jake covers tunes from José James, Questlove, Erykah Badu, and D’Angelo. The tab for this video is available for download on Reverb.

Gabriel Severn is a 13-year-old bassist who has been blowing people away on the social web. Here’s a video featuring Gabriel tearing it up on the tune “Caravan,” with 16-year-old Logan Sheppard on drums on The Urban Renewal Project Horn Section. Watch out world!

Kinga Glyk always impresses us, but this one might take the cake. Performing with her trio, she tears through “Donna Lee” on uke bass. And dig that solo!

Johannes Pehrson sent us another video, and this time it is a live version of a tune he’s previously shared. Along with Maria Anna Rosenberg, the duo Me and Maria performs this beautiful tune, “Hvor kærligheden vugges.” “The bass I used in this song is a 4 string Sandberg California with piccolo strings,” Johannes shared.

Diego Tarantino is such a talent, and not only on bass. Here’s a video he’s just shared with us of his ukulele and bass cover of Jerome Kern’s “Pick Yourself Up.”
