Cory Wong: Juke On Jelly
We’ve seen Cory Wong’s impressive guitar skills on many Vulfpeck videos, as well as his own solo project. Now we get to hear him lay it down on the bass. In this track, Cory handles not only the bass, but also the guitar, percussion, piano/keys, and vocals, along with KATIS on lead vocals.
The Omnific: Objets de Vertu
The Omnific is an Australian progressive instrumental band with two basses and a drummer, so of course I dig it. Matt Fack and Toby Peterson-Stewart handle all of the melodic and harmonic content while drummer Jerome Lematua holds the beat. “Objets de Vertu” showcases the bassists’ prowess on the instrument while creating a cool groove.

Marcus Miller just shared an excellent video showcasing one of the tunes on his new album, Laid Black. Joined by vocalist Selah Sue, here’s their take on “Que Sera Sera.”
Metallica: To Live Is To Die, Live
Metallica is celebrating the 30th anniversary of their album …And Justice For All by posting live versions of each song from the album.

The song is mostly instrumental and was written as a tribute to Cliff Burton, who...

Cassius Lambert sent us this video of his solo bass tune, “Aralia.” His composition skills and use of effects combine to create one stunning soundscape.
The Band Geeks: Close To The Edge
I wasn’t familiar with The Band Geeks until I spotted this video by them. And I’m glad I watched it. In this clip, the band (with Richie Castellano on bass) performs a masterful cover of “Close To The Edge” by Yes.
Christian McBride’s New Jawn: Pier One Import
KNKX Public Radio posted this video last month, with this description: “When great musicians push themselves to do something different, it can be an exciting prospect. Christian McBride’s New Jawn quartet is a great example of that. And when those musicians really enjoy that challenge, that’s when the magic of jazz happens.” Here’s the band in a live performance of...
Nathan Navarro: 10 Crazy Basses
Nathan Navarro shared this video saying, “I grabbed 10 of the craziest basses I could find at Warwick’s GuitCon 2018 event. I ducked into one of their offices and filmed a quick video with each of them. My personal favorite was a tie between the Alien Bass, Nobby Meidel, and quadruple pickup Streamer.” Here’s the complete list, in order of...

Cryptopsy have a new album coming out next week called The Book of Suffering – Tome II, and they’re gearing fans up for it with this killer guitar and bass playthrough of the song “Fear His Displeasure.” Bassist Olivier Pinard tears it up with a crushing tone. “On this recording I used my Spector Euro 5 LX with Elixir strings...
Adam Ben Ezra: Silk Road (Solo Bass Performance)
We’ve shared a video of Adam Ben Ezra performing his tune “Silk Road” with his trio. Now he’s back with another video, this time performing it as a solo bass piece. Always great to see a new video from Adam!
Polyphia: Crush
Our friend Iain Hodges sent us this video, along with this note: “I noticed that you haven’t yet featured anything from the band ‘Polyphia’ yet. They have been evolving from the Progressive Metal/Djent scene as an instrumental band, moving through genres and developing their own distinct niche. I’m only a fan and have no connection with the band. I thought...
