Bass Videos - Page 180

Any time I see a video featuring Abraham Laboriel Sr., I drop what I’m doing to watch. Spectrasonics put on an event to showcase their gear, with Kiefer Shackelford and his band. They also had a surprise in store: inviting Laboriel Sr. to the stage.

There are some pretty amazing videos being shared during this time of social distancing. Here’s one by The Band Geeks, who put together their “Quarantine Edition” cover of the Yes tune, “Roundabout.”

Our friend Rob Waxman shared this video on Facebook, and it blew me away. The video was released in 2015, but it was new to us. Antoine Baril put together this massive medley of Rush tunes and then proceeded to play the bass, guitar, and drums.

It has been a while since we’ve been able to feature Spare Parts. They’re back with a new “Quarantine Collaboration” series of videos, and they’re sounding as good as ever. Check out their performance “Herbie’s Tune” - in honor of Herbie Hancock.

I really dig the Zildjian LIVE! series. I also really dig Ghost-Note. In this clip, drummer Sarah Thawer takes the spotlight on the tune, “Inner Turmoil,” and MonoNeon once again lays it down with some impressive lines. This one has it all!

Session ace Guy Pratt kicked off a YouTube series last month called “Lockdown Licks” to reveal the secrets of songs he has recorded or has played. In this episode, he goes over two Pink Floyd classics he’s played with the band.

Vulfpeck is back with a new video, and once again, they got us moving. In this clip, Joe Dart and the band perform the instrumental, “Test Drive.” So good to see these guys again!

Back in 2012, we shared Maurizio Mariani‘s incredible solo bass version of Elliott Smith’s “Everything Means Nothing To Me.” Now he’s using the quarantine to collaborate with other musicians to continue paying homage to the late singer-songwriter.

I’ve been a long time fan of Studio Jams. Here’s episode #69, which was filmed on April 18, 2015. Nathan East, James “Biscuit” Rouse, Gil Parris, and Matt King combine an open jam with “Tutu” in this clip.

Last month, Offer Ram shared this stunning video of him performing a beautiful solo bass cover of Led Zeppelin’s “The Rain Song.” Such a chill tune, expertly arranged for bass.

Emeline Fougeray often shares some pretty impressive videos on Facebook of her playing along to tunes. She’s also part of the band Panem. This video is the band’s second one in their “Lockdown Sessions,” offering up a chill vibe and some tasty bass lines throughout.

Charles Berthoud asked musicians from around the world to send him recordings of them playing in E minor at 120 bpm. He received 300 videos, watched them all, then arranged them into this tune. He calls it “The Biggest EVER Quarantine Collab.”
