Good music transcends instruments. Knowing this, Brazilian bassist Trovão Rocha picked up his bass and created a bass arrangement of the classic guitar song “Se Ela Perguntar” by Dilermando Reis.

Arda Algan is one industrious bassist. Exhibit A is his all-bass cover of Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature”. Using four different basses and countless tracks, Arda puts together what he says is just an attempt for “a pure bass song”.
