No Treble reader Daniel Toledo shared this video with us, of a great tune he wrote and recorded earlier this month. The tune “Mikkakan” was recorded at the studios at Berklee in Valencia, Spain. So perfect for a Saturday afternoon.

Snarky Puppy’s live DVD/CD offers a musical diversity like no other. Here’s the band performing “Gone Under” with Shayna Steele. Steele wrote the tune and Snarky Puppy bandleader and bassist Michael League produced and arranged it.

We’ve posted plenty of bassists performing Bach, but this one takes the cake. Edmond Gilmore displays unbelievably fluid technique as he plays along violinist Arthur Grumiaux on the “Double Presto” movement from Bach’s Partita No. 1 in B minor.

Back in October, we shared an incredible video with Richard Bona and Raul Midón performing “Don’t Take It That Way“. Here they are again, performing “Good Times”. Good times indeed.

I’ve not yet had the pleasure of meeting Simon Fitzpatrick in person yet. Until I do, I’m not going to be sure he’s actually human. Once again, Simon turns in an impressive solo bass arrangement, this time taking on the tune “One Summer’s Day”, from the movie Spirited Away.

One of my favorite all-time duos have shared a new video. Here’s bassist Evan Marien and drummer Dana Hawkins performing “Finale”, which is from Evan’s new album, We Are All You. This might be my favorite tune yet by these guys.

Jan Urbanec sent us a note about his new project, and a video to go along with it.

No Treble reader Sergey Danilevych sent us this video of him performing with drummer Josh Schusterman. The tune, “Staying Forever” is an original by Sergey, who said this was recorded in one take with no overdubs. All of the samples were triggered in real time from Abletone Live and iPad. Something else I found cool was the voices, which were...

Yes, St. Paddy’s Day was yesterday, but we’re going to celebrate a little more today with some bass goodness from Ian Pettersson.

Time for another incredible solo bass performance by Zander Zon. This time, he tackles the Nine Inch Nails tune, “Hurt”.
