Adam Ben Ezra Trio: “Can’t Stop Running”
Adam Ben Ezra is one of our favorite bassists around here, and I think he now holds a unique status on No Treble. This is the third time we’ve shared his tune “Can’t Stop Running”. But that’s because the bassist keeps putting together great variations on it (if you’re interested in the first two, check out the original and his...

Marek Bero and Stephunk T.: Sense Of Urgency
Marek Bero sent in this cool video of his collaboration with Czech music producer Stephunk T. called “Sense of Urgency.” The song centers on Bero’s bass as he lays down a fast and bubbly groove that gives the song its title.
Jaco Pastorius: “Domingo” Isolated Bass
We’re closing out Isolated Bass Week 4 with our first ever isolated bass entry by the one and only Jaco Pastorius. This isolated bass track of “Domingo” came from The Birthday Concert recording session. And who better than Peter Erskine to describe it: “On a whim, I asked mix engineer James Farber to run a quick mix (at the end...
Jackson 5: James Jamerson’s Isolated Bass on “Darling Dear”
No Isolated Bass Week would be complete without one of the stunning bass lines by the one and only James Jamerson. Today we’re in for a treat with the beautiful bass line behind the Jackson 5 tune, “Darling Dear” from Third Album, released in 1970. I love being able to hear the bass with the vocals to hear how Jamerson...
Rush: “Limelight” Isolated Bass
Rush’s Moving Pictures was one of the first albums I ever bought – on vinyl – when it came out. I only played upright at the time (and sax), and I dreamed of one day getting an electric bass and playing like Geddy Lee. Here’s one of the tracks I admired with so many others back in the day (and...
Rage Against the Machine: “Killing in the Name” Isolated Bass
I’m not as familiar with the music of Rage Against the Machine as many of you probably are. So for today’s isolated bass, I consulted with NT’s Managing Editor Kevin Johnson – our resident expert in everything I’m not an expert in. Kevin said RATM is known for their big groove and it’s neat to hear this isolated bass track.
Yes: Isolated Bass on “Heart of the Sunrise”
The 1971 Yes album, Fragile ends with “Heart of the Sunrise”, a bass-heavy track anchored by the one and only Chris Squire. Here’s the bass line in all its glory, with a little bit of the rest of the track bleeding through.
The Beatles: Isolated Bass on “Paperback Writer”
Today’s isolated bass track has some historical significance for the Beatles. According to the Wikipedia page about this song, “‘Paperback Writer’ is marked by the boosted bass guitar sound throughout, partly in response to John Lennon demanding to know why the bass on a certain Wilson Pickett record far exceeded the bass on any Beatles records. This changed with the...

Kicking off our fourth Isolated Bass Week is the one and only Flea. Here is the isolated bass and drum track for the Chili Pepper's "Give It Away"...
Jaco Pastorius and Bireli Lagrene: Teen Town Jam
If you’ve listened to Live in Italy, with Jaco Pastorius, Bireli Lagrene, and Tomas Böröcz, you’ve heard one killer version of Jaco’s “Teen Town”. Now you can see a video of the trio performing the tune (with some other tunes/jams thrown in) live in 1986. Thank goodness we’re past the era of video tapes (and thank goodness they were around...
