Bassist Adam Neely sent this awesome video of his band Inside//Outside playing his composition “Effervescent”. The Brooklyn-based 4-stringer describes the tune as odd-metered nu-jazz with a distorted trumpet solo, 8-bit drums, and (our favorite part) a bitcrushed bass solo that starts at the 2:05 mark. We describe it as awesome. Today’s video wraps up our Featured Reader Video Week, but...

You may remember Pino Sarcini from when we featured his Keyboard Bass as Bass of the Week. He recently sent us this very chill solo bass arrangement of the classic Simon and Garfunkel tune “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” Saracini utilizes harmonics to create a nice flowing texture to the song. “Relaxing with [my] bass at home……one of my favorite songs...

We’ve featured No Treble reader Samuel Haynes before, and we’re happy to share the latest he just sent our way. The tune is an original composition Samuel wrote, using BEAD tuning. He describes the tune as “[mostly] slap with some chordal stuff thrown in there too.” Samuel is playing his Ibanez Soundgear SRX300 with stock pickups and running through a...

Rodolfo Valdifiori shared this video showcasing his bass skills with a play-along of Alain Caron’s “P.A.C. Man”. Love the funky lines on this one. And I’m always a sucker for some honkin’ bari sax too. We’re celebrating a week-long series of videos by No Treble readers. We want to hear from you and share your work. Send us a note...

This isn’t the first time we’ve featured a video by Andres Rotmistrovsky. And it also isn’t the first we’ve shared of his duets with vocalist Angela Watson either. Andres sent us this one, which like the other work we’ve seen by this duo is terrific. This time around, they tackle their version of Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror”. We’re...

Bassist Jake Bolton responded to our call for videos with his all-bass cover of Herbie Hancock’s tune, “Chameleon”. Turns out, this is the first video Jake has shared. He says tab is available on request. You can reach him on Twitter or Facebook. We’re celebrating a week-long series of videos by No Treble readers. We want to hear from you...

Bassist Lino Devic sent this video along to us, and we were mighty impressed with the uniqueness of it. Lino took Jimi Hendrix’s “Hey Joe” and made it his own, laying down the bass, keyboards and drum programming and then taking his piccolo bass and adding the lead. Lino’s video kicks off a week-long celebration of videos by No Treble...

Holy smokes, Adam Ben Ezra keeps delivering the good stuff. He he is performing his latest composition, “Flamenco”. Adam has made the tune available through Candyrat, iTunes and Amazon.

Alex Bershadsky is working on a new album and sent us this track as a sneak peek of what’s to come. The bassist teamed up with drummer extraordinaire Dennis Chambers to make a duet of the famous Eddie Harris tune “Freedom Jazz Dance.” The duo lock in tight as Bershadsky ornaments the funky melody with some incredible right hand technique....

If you’re familiar with Nick Schendzielos, you may know that the following video is full of insane bass playing and quirky antics. This one is no exception. After a heartfelt (albeit completely fictionalized) tale of clown abuse, Schendzielos breaks into a strumming groove topped with an ear-catching, circus-inspired, overdriven melody. Cephalic Carnage bandmate Brian Hopp makes a cameo with an...

Here’s a fun video sent to us by bassist Dave Delgado, who rocks out his P-bass during this live session with pianist Andrew Balkwill on the tune “Let Go”. And Delgado grooves hard. He revealed to us that he used “muted plectrum grooves trying to imitate and old analogue synth with fast attack and short decay & release for extra...

Thank goodness for the web and for Charles Hoernemann, who shared today’s video with us. Charles said, “The genius of Jaco Pastorius. A very rare footage of a concert around 1985 on Belgian TV. Jaco’s solo starts at 6:43. Enjoy!” Enjoy indeed.
