Matt La Maida messaged me with a new, killer bass arrangement he worked out. This time around, Matt takes on Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition,” with lots of bass goodness and other effects. Matt says he has a transcription coming, so be on the lookout for it here. In the meantime, check out Matt’s popular cover of “Ziggy Stardust” from the archives.

Six-string fretless bass beast Steve Di Giorgio always brings the heat. Here’s his latest with a playthrough of “As Hope Welcomes Death” by Gone In April. Di Giorgio tears through the song, bringing serious tenacity to the low end. Be sure to check out the drum and bass breaks starting at 5:22.

Alberto Rigoni went all out for Halloween this year with a bass arrangement of the theme song to Ghostbusters. Dressed as the Marshmallow Man, Rigoni lays down the iconic bass line as well as the chords and melody on his 5-string Cort. Happy Halloween!

With Halloween coming up, we knew bassist Troy Hughes would have something good up his sleeve. An avid mask collector, he donned a special zombie mask to record this bass line and get in the spirit of the season. “It is a bass-cover of ‘La Caccia’ by Goblin, which features Fabio Pignatelli on bass,” Hughes explains. “The song was part...

We’re gearing up for Halloween, bass style. TheBassist.net’s Jayme Lewis is serious about Halloween. So serious that he remade Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”: music video and all. Lewis lays down the iconic bass line while adding tasty fills for his own flair. He’s joined by Ryan Clouse, Brandon Leslie, and Jason Lewis, who has a bone to pick with the bassist....

Our favorite Rush-inspired band is back with a new cover: “Something for Nothing,” which appeared on Rush’s 2112 album. As always, the tune features the monster tone by bassist Tim Starace, along with vocalist Rocky Kuner, guitarist Billy Alexander, and drummer Chris Moore. So good.

Consider the Source bassist John Ferrara has just released the first video from his duo with percussionist Seth Moutal, and it’s a killer. An ode to martial arts master Jackie Chan, the song features Ferrara laying down a bass line with his homemade midi foot pedal, tapping the harmony, and playing the melody on his five-string. Moutal lays down the...

BassTheWorld.com’s Gregor Fris and collaborators René Flächsenhaar and Lars Lehmann teamed up to make this cool video featuring fifteen basses over seven minutes. The bassists play different styles to accent the voice of each bass ranging from gnarly grooves to woody fretless singing. “This video shows all the current BassTheWorld studio Basses,” Fris explains. “In a couple of weeks I’ll...

Bassist Alissia Benveniste may be featured on the upcoming Bootsy Collins album, but that didn’t stop her from continuing to kick out her own jams. She’s just released a brand new track and music video for “Get Away,” a song she says reflects her inspirations. “I felt like it was time to write and produce a song that I release...

We first featured the Blues Beatles back in July, with their special arrangement of The Beatles’ “Yesterday.” That video was quite popular, so we decided it was time to share another. This time around, they take on “Ticket To Ride,” in a live performance. Once again, Bruno Falcão handles the bass on this bluesy cover.

U-Bass fanatic Magnus Sjöquist shared this awesome video of his tribute to one of his bass heroes. “It’s a little tribute to Steve Swallow. Especially his bass/chord comping,” he writes. “This is a transcription of a part he plays behind John Scofield from a concert with the John Scofield Trio. I’m playing a custom Kala Solid Body 5-string tuned EADGC.”...

To say I’m pumped about the upcoming Vulfpeck album would be an understatement. The band has released another video featuring a song from Mr. Finish Line, entitled “Hero Town.” Michael Bland guests (masterfully) on drums, with Joe Dart handling the bass, as always. The album is available for pre-order from Vulfpeck’s website.
