Good music transcends instruments. Knowing this, Brazilian bassist Trovão Rocha picked up his bass and created a bass arrangement of the classic guitar song “Se Ela Perguntar” by Dilermando Reis. The bassist does the song justice with lush chords and soulful phrasing that will pull at your heartstrings.

Arda Algan is one industrious bassist. Exhibit A is his all-bass cover of Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature”. Using four different basses and countless tracks, Arda puts together what he says is just an attempt for “a pure bass song”. And if you really want to know the full details, Arda shared the bass line up with us: The Main Solo...

Jesús Rico Pérez has just shared another of his stunning solo bass performances. This tune, “Rise Me Up The Sun” starts out at a slow, musical pace before Jesús picks things up around the halfway mark. As always, he delivers a great song and an equally great approach to the bass. If you like this, you should check out his...

I’m surprised I’ve never seen this – a video that’s been out since 2010. In this video, Ten Years After bassist Leo Lyons shows off a unique bass built by Inspire Instruments. We’ll let Leo explain:

If you haven’t seen the James Brown documentary Mr. Dynamite yet, you’re missing out. It follows the iconic soul singer’s rise to the top of charts with incredible interview segments with his musicians. Of course, one of the film’s highlights is the introduction of Bootsy Collins into Brown’s band. Collins offers deep insight into his relationship with Brown as well...

Sometimes it’s not the notes you play, it’s how you play them. Kate Davis proves that point in this beautiful duet with guitarist Rob Moose on her song “Keep An Open Heart,” filmed for the One On One Sessions at City Winery in New York City. Davis keeps a simple beat with roots and fifths while playing up on the...

Andrew Gouche recently posted a set of videos from his time playing with Chaka Khan. “I’m very proud of my time as Musical Director with CK, We had a great team!,” Gouche wrote. Here’s a great clip of the bassist laying it down with Khan on the Rufus song “Stay,” live in 2011. Gouche sets up the groove with a...

No Treble reader Bruno Dumant sent me this video recently of Cuibul performing a tune called “Ne Vom Topi.” “I particularly dig the tone of the ABG the bassist uses, very warm, very different from a double bass tone,” Bruno said of this acoustic session. We loved the tune, and the bass work by Andrei Boico.

Alessandro Calabrese decided to combine the styles of two of his heroes on bass: Flea and Marcus Miller in this jam session. Not only that, he added what he calls some “Bassscratch”. The combo is excellent.

Adam Nitti sent us a great video of his band performing Herbie Hancock’s “Butterfly” at the Blue Canoe in Tupelo, MS in July. The song of course is awesome. The band is tight. And Adam throws in some seriously incredible solos. Enjoy.

Videos by Viaceslav Svedov have been in short supply lately. But that all changed when he shared this “remake” video of him performing Celso Zymon’s “Desert Eagle”. We’re glad Viaceslav is back.

Bassist Cheikh Ndoye shared this awesome video of his work on the African Contrabass, also known as the bass ngoni. The West-African traditional instrument is fretless with three strings. Ndoye, who was born in Senegal, did some of his own modifications to get it to fit his style. “The traditional instruments are very hard to tune without the tuners,” he...
