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.

Simone Masina shared his latest with us, with his duo with vocalist Angelica Lubian, known as Peekaboom. “We have a brand new video made in a beautiful studio in Rome with a double bass solo in the middle,” Simone shared. “The ‘Blackbird’ version by Petro Klampanis that you shared the past year inspired us.” We love what this duo is...

Bryan Ladd just shared his latest with us, performing along with Mark Bowers on guitar, Aaron Swinnerton on keys and Jason Patterson on drums. The tune is “3-4-4”, which Ladd wrote along with Bowers. This one grooves, and dig that bass solo!

Federico Malaman sent me this video to share. “This is a song of mine, dedicated to the great Jaco Pastorius!” he said. “I composed it after watching the Jaco film. Hope you like it.” We loved it. We think you will too.

Adam Ben Ezra is back with a new solo bass video – this time performing a tune he wrote 10 years ago. The track made it on his album, Can’t Stop Running. This performance is his solo-looper version of the song, filmed and recorded live at Mookie’s Rhapsody.

Here’s trombonist Hal Crook and his band Behind These Eyes performing “Love Me If You Can”. The tune was written and arranged by Crook. Bassist Wesley Wirth lays down a funky line behind this performance, which also lots of horn goodness.
