We love it when bassists get together to make music. Double bassists Petros Klampanis and Or Bareket teamed up to form the B’ANG Duet (aka the Bass Hang Duet), and it’s a perfect reason why bassists should band together. “B’ANG first appeared at the 2015 International Bass Society Convention in Colorado and received enthusiastic reaction,” they write. “The Duet continues...

Sean Malone caught everyone’s attention on Cynic’s debut album Focus in 1993. The prog-metal album’s distinct sound came in part to the bassist’s furious fretless work. Malone’s time with Cynic didn’t last much longer after the album’s release, though he rejoined the band when they started back up in 2008. In 2014, he put out this instrumental play-through of the...

About a month ago, we featured bassist Tanya O’Callaghan here for the first time, thanks to an introduction by Steve Lawson. Here’s another video from “Tanya’s Gold Blend”, and the first episode from her series. This video features Ryan Sheridan, Artur Graczyk, Joe Leech from BiPolar Empire, Nicky Brennan from Ryan Sheridan’s band playing Jeff Buckley’s “Everybody Here Wants You”....

Guitarist/keyboardist Billy Alexander, drummer/percussionist Anthony Morra, and bassist Tim Starace don’t live near each other, but they share a common interest – the music of Rush. The trio got together and recorded this Rush-inspired instrumental, which is a remarkable tribute.

Nik West shared this on Facebook, and it knocked me (and a lot of other people) out. In this video, the bassist/vocalist takes on Musiq Soulchild’s “Just Friends” with lots of style. “I wanted to try out this new Fender Jazz Elite Bass,” she shared. You made it sound great, Nik!

Matt La Maida just shared this with us, and I was impressed. This is Matt’s tribute to David Bowie, with the bassist taking Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust” and making it a terrific solo bass arrangement. [Editor’s note: Matt has published the transcription for this solo bass performance here on No Treble.]

For years, Zander Zon has wowed us with his solo bass videos, using his Zon 4-string fretted bass. Later, he got a Chris Larking acoustic bass guitar, and took things to a new level. Now, he has a Zon fretless bass, and he’s shared his first video with it – a cover of Adele’s “Hello”. “Hope you like it,” he...

Tobias Fleischer shared his latest video on our Videos Forum, and it’s a great groove. He lays down some serious low end with his band Mo’ Blow on the track “Ricky The Lobster”. Fleischer’s slap line, which he plays on flatwounds, has everything it needs while having a certain subtlety to keep it in a support role. The song comes...

I saw this video by Franklin Peredo this morning and asked him if we could share it. All of us here have marvelled over Franklin’s right hand technique for some time. If we didn’t have video evidence to the contrary, I’d guess he had two right hands. This video of his tune, “Teenagers From Jupiter” shows why. Plus, this one...

We’re seeing some seriously great bass and vocal duet videos lately. This one was sent in by bassist Roberto Pace, who performs with vocalist Chiara D’Emilio in their duo, VoBa Sound Experience. Here’s their interesting arrangement of Led Zeppelin’s “Dazed and Confused”.

We’re bringing you another video premiere with live clip of El Ten Eleven’s “Scott Township” taken from a performance at the Bluebird Theater in Denver, Colorado on December 4th, 2015. The duo of multi-instrumentalist Kristian Dunn and drummer Tim Fogarty create a captivating and emotional atmosphere with a minimalist approach. Dunn kicks things off on a bass vi while Fogarty...

Maxime Lenssens shared this video with just a simple note: “Mind blowing solo with ‘McSim 3’.” The mind blowing solo is by bassist Linley Marthe, who is joined by Jozef Dumoulin on keys and Lenssens on drums in this November, 2015 performance in Brussels.
