Zander Zon: The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside” Solo Bass Performance

I don’t know how Zander Zon does it, but he just keeps bringing his incredible bass arrangement videos. In this new one, Zander tackles The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside” with a killer piccolo bass arrangement and performance on his Zon VB4.

Maurice Ellis: Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors” All Bass Cover

Maurice Ellis: Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors” All Bass Cover

Anthony Crawford sent me this video, and when he’s spreading the love, you know it’s going to be good. Here’s bassist Maurice Ellis playing an all bass arrangement of Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors.” Ellis creates a thick groove and plays the song’s bass line, chords and melody all on bass. After sticking to the radio edit of the song, he takes...

Adam Ben Ezra: Intro

Adam Ben Ezra: Intro

Adam Ben Ezra – one of our favorite bassists here at No Treble HQ – sent us his latest video. Once again, he blew us away with his music, bass skills… and cinematography. For this video, Adam is playing his new Nick Lloyd 5-string double bass. The tune is named “Intro” is an original composition featuring the bass running through...

YOSHA: Fire Rhythm

YOSHA: Fire Rhythm

Bassist Karel Honasan sent us this video of his band YOSHA performing their original tune, “Fire Rhythm”. The video comes from a web show named “Tower Sessions”, after the band was invited to do a few live performances by Tower of Doom. This is one tight band, and Karel is a huge part of that. He’s playing an F-Bass BN4...

Vulfpeck: My First Car

Vulfpeck: My First Car

Jack Stratton sent this new video featuring Vulfpeck performing the title track from My First Car. Bassist Joe Dart really lays it down on this one – as he does on pretty much every tune I’ve heard. Dart is playing a P-Bass Jr. with medium LaBella strings. Jack said they “slammed [the bass] through a TG 12413 Limiter plugin emulation”....

James Jamerson’s Isolated Bass on “Ain’t That Peculiar” (with Drums)

James Jamerson’s Isolated Bass on “Ain’t That Peculiar” (with Drums)

We’re closing out Isolated Bass Week III with the master, James Jamerson. This is the audio track for Marvin Gaye’s “Ain’t That Peculiar”, with the bass and drums isolated from the original Motown master tape. (And some other instruments leaking through). I believe Uriel Jones is the drummer on the track. But this is mostly about the bass.

The Beatles’ “Dear Prudence”: Paul McCartney’s Isolated Bass

The Beatles’ “Dear Prudence”: Paul McCartney’s Isolated Bass

Today we get a good listen to the bass line on the Beatles’ song, “Dear Prudence” from the 1968 album known as The White Album. Paul McCartney covered a lot more than just the bass on this one – including drums, piano, flügelhorn, tambourine, cowbell, handclaps, and backing vocals.

Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter”: Bill Wyman’s Isolated Bass

Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter”: Bill Wyman’s Isolated Bass

Today’s isolated bass track features Bill Wyman’s bass line on the Rolling Stones tune “Gimme Shelter” – the opening track on the Stones’ 1969 release, Let It Bleed. As with many of these isolated tracks, the bass line becomes even more remarkable – don’t you think?

“All Along the Watchtower” Live: Bill Cox’s Isolated Bass (1970)

“All Along the Watchtower” Live: Bill Cox’s Isolated Bass (1970)

On July 4th, 1970, Jimi Hendrix performed at the Atlanta Pop Festival – just two months before the guitarist’s death. By this point, Hendrix had assembled his Band of Gypsys, recruiting his Army buddy, bassist Billy Cox. For a long time, fans traded this concert recording as a bootleg. In 1991, Warner Bros. released a four disc set which included...

Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like the Wolf”: John Taylor’s Isolated Bass Line

Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like the Wolf”: John Taylor’s Isolated Bass Line

During the ’80s, my music snobbery was going full tilt. As a result, I overlooked just about everything Duran Duran recorded. So I never really knew much about bassist John Taylor. When we shared the isolated bass line for Duran Duran’s “Rio” last year, plenty of people shared similar stories – and were surprised by his lines. Others said they...

“Digital Man”: Geddy Lee & Neil Peart (Isolated Bass and Drums)

“Digital Man”: Geddy Lee & Neil Peart (Isolated Bass and Drums)

In today’s isolated track, we find two-thirds of Rush laying it down on “Digital Man”, from Signals. No guitar, no synths, a little bit of vocals leaking through… just plain awesome.

“Immigrant Song”: John Paul Jones’ Isolated Bass (and Drums)

“Immigrant Song”: John Paul Jones’ Isolated Bass (and Drums)

Here’s a great isolated bass track to kick off our third Isolated Bass Week, featuring the combo of John Paul Jones on his Fender Precision bass and John Bonham on drums. The tune is Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song”, from Led Zeppelin III. There’s a little guitar in the mix, but that didn’t bother us. Much. What a duo!
