Our isolated bass track on the Beatles’ “Lovely Rita” is getting a lot of attention lately. Here’s another isolated track from the Beatles, for the tune “Drive My Car,” which appeared on the 1965 release Rubber Soul. There are discrepancies regarding who played bass on “Drive My Car.” George Harrison claimed it was him (and not Paul McCartney) at one...

We’ve uncovered what we believe to be an extremely rare video of the Who performing their hit, “Baba O’Reilly” in today’s featured video. The details are a little sketchy… maybe you know more about it than we do.

Many bassists will know Phil Palombi as a jazz bass guru and Scott Lafaro aficionado, but he’s got a funky electric side too. Here’s a video of his spacey jam trio (718) performing “El Sombrero” during their CD release party at the Blue Note in New York City. The group also includes keyboardist Matthew Fries and drummer Eric Halvorson. Their...

Our Facebook friend Keith Devereux wrote to us saying, “How about some videos of Roger Glover? A very much overlooked but very talented Bass player.” It reminded me of one of my favorite Deep Purple tunes, “Pictures of Home,” which first appeared on their iconic Machine Head album. Here’s Glover with Deep Purple performing the song at in Montreux in...

No Treble reader Daniel Toledo shared this video with us, of a great tune he wrote and recorded earlier this month. The tune “Mikkakan” was recorded at the studios at Berklee in Valencia, Spain. So perfect for a Saturday afternoon.

We’ve posted plenty of bassists performing Bach, but this one takes the cake. Edmond Gilmore displays unbelievably fluid technique as he plays along violinist Arthur Grumiaux on the “Double Presto” movement from Bach’s Partita No. 1 in B minor.

Back in October, we shared an incredible video with Richard Bona and Raul Midón performing “Don’t Take It That Way“. Here they are again, performing “Good Times”. Good times indeed.

I’ve not yet had the pleasure of meeting Simon Fitzpatrick in person yet. Until I do, I’m not going to be sure he’s actually human. Once again, Simon turns in an impressive solo bass arrangement, this time taking on the tune “One Summer’s Day”, from the movie Spirited Away.

Emeline Fougeray asked us to share this video of Olivier Carole performing the tune “Sa Kay”. Emeline plays in Olivier’s band Oceakyl, which features two basses. (Check out Oceakyl’s tune “No One Can Be You“, from the archives). Emeline said, “This is [Olivier’s] solo project: fretless and fretted basses, voice and beat box. The song “Sa Kay” sung in Martinique’s...

The innovative Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is releasing a new album in May called . They’ve just released a video of the first movement from the record, “Mississippi.” If it’s any sign of the rest of the album, it’s going to be a killer. Ironically, the Fourchestra is a trio made up of Jonathan Scales on steel pans, Phill Bronson on...

One of my favorite all-time duos have shared a new video. Here’s bassist Evan Marien and drummer Dana Hawkins performing “Finale”, which is from Evan’s new album, We Are All You. This might be my favorite tune yet by these guys.
