The Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back” Bass And Drums Cover

The Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back” Bass And Drums Cover

We love it when bassists work together, and this is video is a reason why. Swiss bassist Sebastiano Mereu collaborated with Jasmine from Hong Kong (AKA deppwaswho) and drummer Fabio from Switzerland (AKA PingaloBIll) to make this sweet version of the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back”. Such a good groove.

Pipoquinha: IB&T Bass Festival Solo Performance

Pipoquinha: IB&T Bass Festival Solo Performance

A little over two years ago, we shared a video of Pipoquinha, a young bassist from Brazil. In that video, Pipoquinha was just 13 years old, but played (and sang) well beyond his years. That video ended up being the most watched and most shared videos of the year on No Treble. Facebook friend George Wagner just shared a new...

Six String Fretless: Beyond Creation’s “Omnipresent Perception”

Six String Fretless: Beyond Creation’s “Omnipresent Perception”

You don’t hear a lot of fretless in death metal (save for Steve DiGiorgio and Jeroen Paul Thesseling). So it’s cool to hear the instrument add a new element to a genre. A good example is the band Beyond Creation, featuring bassist Dominic “Forest” Lapointe on six-string fretless. Check out this music video for the song “Omnipresent Perception”, in which...

Stefan Hergenröder & Claus Hessler: Löewenzahn

If you’re searching for a little inspiration for your delay pedal, look no further. This video of bassist Stefan Hergenröder and drummer Claus Hessler has got you covered. The footage here is taken from the recording of the track “Löewenzahn” from Hergenröder’s upcoming album, and yes, that’s how he plays it live. The bassist uses a single delay to create...

Jeff Bradetich: Bach Cello Suite No. 1, I. Prelude

The Bach Cello Suite is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, and thankfully it translates pretty well to bass. Here’s the first movement of the first suite performed by master bassist Jeff Bradetich. The clip is taken from his DVD of the entire first suite.

Stanley Clarke: Acoustic Bass Solo

Stanley Clarke: Acoustic Bass Solo

It never ceases to amaze me how musical Stanley Clarke is, and how easy he makes it look when he’s playing. Plus, he looks cool too. Enjoy.

Adam Stevens: All Bass “Chameleon”

Adam Stevens: All Bass “Chameleon”

Bassist Adam Stevens makes it so easy to want to feature him. Aside from his excellent playing, he produces a lot of videos too. Here’s Adam playing the classic Herbie Hancock tune “Chameleon” from the Head Hunters album. Adam puts it all together the way we like it: using multiple bass tracks and loops.

Adam Ben Ezra: Openland

Adam Ben Ezra: Openland

Whenever a new video by bassist Adam Ben Ezra arrives, I pretty much drop what I’m doing to watch it. Each time, I wonder how Adam will raise the bar on what he does, and pretty much every time, he does. In this performance of “Openland”, Adam plays multiple instruments. He said the tune provided him “with an excuse to...

Marco Panascia & Dario Deidda: Jazz Bass Duet

Marco Panascia & Dario Deidda: Jazz Bass Duet

I love watching videos by the bass duo of Marco Panascia and Dario Deidda. I mean, it started with the fact that this is a bass duo. Then it quickly turned into admiration for their playing and their fun approach to music. Here’s the duo performing live in Rome in 2010. Thanks to Joachim Mahoudeaux for sharing this with us!

The Motet: “Canned Heat” Cover

The Motet: “Canned Heat” Cover

Facebook friend Michael Coderre turned me onto Colorado based band The Motet, sending in this awesome cover of Jamiroquai’s “Canned Heat”. As if the band’s rock solid groove isn’t enough, bassist Garrett Sayers takes a sweet solo at the 8-minute mark. As Michael put it, “The man is boss. Straight up.” We agree.

Jack Bruce and Friends: “X Marks The Spot” – Live (1980)

Jack Bruce and Friends: “X Marks The Spot” – Live (1980)

Oh yeah, this is the good stuff. Jack Bruce and friends (which includes Clem Clempson on guitar, David Sancious on keyboards/guitar and Billy Cobham on drums), took the stage in 1980 for a Rockpalast broadcast. Here’s the band performing “X Marks The Spot” – one of Cobham’s excellent compositions.
