Franklin Peredo is back with another mind-bending bass tune. “The Mystery of the Flaptopus” features a creative groove and other-worldly effects to evoke a sense of wonder in musical form. Watching Peredo’s insane bass playing will evoke a sense of wonder, too.

Our first ever interview (way back in 2009) was with Julie Slick, after seeing a video with her performing in the Adrian Belew Power Trio. Here’s a clip from their 2008 performance of Rockpalast. The tune is “Dinosaur”, and the bass tone is flat out killer.

I’m convinced that Michael Manring’s brain works differently than everyone else’s. His ideas are always so unique and his execution of them are jaw-dropping. Back in 1991, Manring was featured on the Spanish television program Musica NA to talk about his playing and compositions. This clip starts out with the bassist explaining his thought process on playing two basses at...

Punk icons The Descendents recently released their seventh studio album, Hypercaffium Spazzinate, and it’s got all the fervor they’re known for. That includes the blistering bass work of Karl Alvarez. Watch the band get down on their latest live video for “Testosterone”. The song is short but sweet with a killer bass run at the 28-second mark.

Chris DeAngelis is the super talented bassist for Kung Fu and The Breakfast, but he also makes time to create insanely good solo covers (which he calls the HoodRat Sessions) in his spare time. Case in point: this clip of his take on Radiohead’s “Sit Down. Stand Up. (Snakes and Ladders)”. “HoodRat Sessions continues with a tribute to the best...

Troy Hughes has a knack for nailing Geddy Lee’s lines. So much so that he’s featured on the Rush website. However, he couldn’t quite get the tone perfect for songs from the Power Windows album until an incredible trip to get the bass he’d always wanted. Hughes procured a Wal bass from former Puddle of Mudd bassist and founding member...

Tedeschi Trucks Band performed with George Porter Jr. at the Keswick Theatre in Philadelphia back in 2012. Here’s the group performing The Meters’ “Ain’t No Use”. This one grooves!

Time for another great video by Jesús Rico Pérez, who once again covers a Michael Manring tune. Here’s Jesús’s adaptation of “Sung To Sleep”, from Manring’s 1986 album, Unusual Weather.

The last time we shared a video by Progger, it featured bassist Bryan Ladd. Here’s another video by the band – and their original Austin, Texas lineup, which includes bassist Nicholas Clark. The song “Big Trouble” appears on the band’s album, .

Sometimes we hear something along the lines of “get that guy a guitar” when we feature a bassist playing an instrument with more than 4-strings/piccolo strings/playing solo bass. But we’ve never heard the opposite, until now. Pete Cottrell plays an 8-string guitar, and people have asked him, “why don’t you just play the bass?” So he decided to do an...

Here’s another band I recently discovered that just blew me away. House of Waters features the trio of Hammered Dulcimer virtuoso Max ZT, bassist Moto Fukushima and percussionist Luke Notary. Members of the band have some impressive credentials too. Fukushima has performed with Mike Stern, Leni Stern, Karsh Kale, Dave Weckl, Joe Lovano and countless others. NPR called House of...

I recently discovered The 4 Korners, and I’m glad I did. Anchored by bassist James “JT” Thompson Jr., here’s the band performing a track from their sophomore album, Portal of Gold. The album is scheduled for a fall release.
