One of the things I really love about YouTube is that everyone uses it, so it’s easy to find awesome bassists doing their thing. Case in point: Norwegian death metal bassist Erlend Caspersen has an account that he’s filled up with play alongs of the songs he plays. Here’s his play through for Spawn of Possession’s “Bodiless Sleeper,” where he...

Paz Lenchantin has added mystique and sultriness to every band she’s been in. A former member of A Perfect Circle and Zwan, she knows how to groove. Here’s a cool fan shot video of The Entrance Band playing “Temptation” in Oakland in 2010. Lenchantin locks in perfectly with the drums to propel the song with a mysterious vibe.

Here’s some sweet double bass action by Stephane Barral. His right hand technique is so fast, it looks like a blur!

A bassist who goes by the screen name mahalkita511 has shared this nice solo bass arrangement of the holiday classic, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”. Just in time for Santa to come to town. Can we add a F-Bass VF560 bass to our wish list, like the one mahalkita511 is playing?

Bassist Bas Shiver has shared a video with a dual purpose. First, a sweet arrangement of “Let it Snow” for bass. Then, he teaches you how, so you can add it to your holiday festivities. The Christmas ornament is optional, but recommended.

Damian was blown away by this video and sent it my way. Watch it and you’ll see what he was talking about. This is multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier performing his arrangement of the traditional English Christmas carol, “I Saw Three Ships”. As Jacob says, the tune is “Performed and produced by a variety of Jacob Collier’s.” Including one on upright.

I had no idea Adam Stevens also played upright until now. The bassist who has already been impressing all of us with his skills on electric shared this fun video of him performing an impromptu holiday bass jam. “I had a bit of time before a festive jazz trio gig I played last night, so I thought I’d set up...

I just discovered bassist Ed Lift, who goes by the screen name Zon 4. And I was glad I did. Zon 4’s style is very reminiscent of Zander Zon’s – and perhaps even inspired by Zander. Both bassists play Zon basses strung with piccolo strings and tackle beautifully arranged solo bass pieces. Here’s Zon 4 performing a medley of Christmas...

Here’s one of our favorite solo bassists, Aaron Gibson, performing his Christmas tune, “Gloria”. Aaron’s music is something special. And his videos always make them even more amazing. Aaron said he shot the video on an iPhone, and then animated it on his iPad and Mac. Wow. This is our first holiday video of the season. Wishing all of you...

Check out bassist Thomas Depner – aka TommyLeeDepp – and his solo bass arrangement of the Linkin Park tune, “Numb”. Love the tone and the arrangement.

Here’s an awesome clip Viktor L?rincz sent us where he has some fun with a delay. With a tempo of 178 BPM and a delay of 253 ms, he makes it sound like he’s playing twice as fast as he really is. “This solo is not too hard. [You] just need to keep the tempo and play short sounds,” the...

Bassist Maurizio Rolli shared this video with us, featuring a 2009 performance of his Rolli’s Tones big band. The group, which includes drummer Peter Erskine and saxophonist Bob Mintzer performed their unique arrangement of The Police’s “Every Breath You Take”, including a sweet solo by Maurizio. Maurizio is playing his Mayones Signature MR5 bass.
