I always get down with Jamiroquai, and it’s probably because of the perfect “in-the-pocket” bass work. This an early clip of the band from 1994 and features groove monster Stuart Zender on bass, ripping up “Too Young To Die” from the group’s 1993 album Emergency on Planet Earth. Get ready to groove!

Here at No Treble, we love bass. We really love bass. But what we love even more is the bass community.That’s why we were pumped to hear about this collaborative effort from a group called the Organic Bass Wobble Forum. “Last year a small Facebook group was set up by Shaun Rathy with the aim to getting together as many...

Here’s a nice throwback sent to us by our Facebook friend Patrick Tobin: Paul McCartney and company getting down on “Band on the Run” from their 1976 performance at the Seattle Kingdome. “Now lets not forget Macca on his [Rickenbacker], and a nice bit of bass playing,” Tobin reminded us. Good call!

Thomas Bizzle shared this great video of Joe Zinkan playing some mean upright slap bass on the tune “Four Leaf Clover.” Though Zinkan became a regular band member on the Grand ‘Ol Opry, the clip comes from a 1965 episode of the “Bobby Lord Show”. Old school slap. We love it.

Grammy award winning bassist/vocalist Esperanza Spalding has released the official video for “Black Gold,” the first single off her upcoming album Radio Music Society. The song and video are a beautiful homage to African American heritage. “This song is singing to our African American heritage before slavery,” Spalding writes. “Over the decades, so much of the strength in the African...

We first featured Vulfpeck last June and became instant fans of the band and bassist Joe Dart. Check out this video of the band recording their score for a short film by Baltasar Vilhjálmsdóttir entitled, “Cold Cold Wet”. Joe really gets down on this, especially around the 3 minute mark. This tune is available on Vulfpeck’s EP, Mit Peck. Hey...

Janek Gwizdala took the stage at TC Electronic’s booth during the NAMM 2012 show, and wowed the crowd with his solo bass awesomeness. The performance starts with a nice laid back groove, and continues with some nice soloing (and singing) on top. Janek is playing his new Fodera.

In 2003, Pat Metheny assembled an all-star quartet including Christian McBride on bass, the late Michael Brecker on sax and Antonio Sanchez on drums. The quartet performed live in Germany for the Jazz Baltica festival. Here, the group performs the Metheny classic “James”, with a nice spotlight on McBride.

Bassist Marco Ignacio Toba sent us a note and a few awesome videos he’s done. Marco is from Argentina and plays in a prog metal band by the name of Thabu. In this video, Marco plays “Milonga” for two basses, arranged by Bucky Arcella. You know what we say, two basses are better than one! Nice playing, Marco. Have a...

Here’s a cool video for the mesmerizing track “The Net” from Alberto Rigoni’s 2011 album, Rebirth. The song is built entirely of harmonics, which gives it a floating kind of feeling.

Facebook friend Art Araya shared this remarkable and unique video of bassist Doug Alexis performing his own take on “The Chicken”. The tune, written by Pee Wee Ellis, was made popular of course by Jaco Pastorius. This has to be the most creative version we’ve heard yet.

My good friend Aaron shared this video with us (he’s a treble-maker, but we overlook it when he sends us cool bass videos). This is bassist/vocalist Amy LaVere and her band performing “Damn Love Song” at the Music Fog Marathon 2011 at Threadgill’s South in Austin, Texas. This was recorded during SXSW 2011. The tune comes from LaVere’s 2011 album,...
