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.
Periphery: “Make Total Destroy” Bass Cam Video
As our Facebook friend Skip Taylor noted, it’s been a while since we’ve posted a metal video. Get ready for a little mayhem. Adam “Nolly” Getgood just posted this video from a performance of “Make Total Destroy” with Periphery at Manchester Academy from their recent European tour. Shot with a headstock cam, the footage captures all of the bassist’s energy...
Marcus Miller: “Detroit” Live at Jazz in Marciac
Get ready for around 10 minutes of musical (and bass) awesomeness. Here’s Marcus Miller and his band performing “Detroit” at Jazz in Marciac last month. The solo break that starts around the 3 minute mark is just killer.
Marcelo Feldman: Jackson 5’s “I’ll Be There” Solo Bass Cover
Bassist Marcelo Feldman shows incredible musicianship and technique in this all-bass version of the Jackson 5’s “I’ll Be There”. Clearly inspired by the Marcus Miller version, this is the way music should be.
Oliver Leonidas Tsakonas: “Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers” Cover
Bassist Oliver Leonidas Tsakonas shared his cover of Jeff Beck’s “Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers”. And he sent it with a warning: “Contains a bass solo.” …which is why we’re featuring it. Oliver plays both bass and guitar on the track… making it even more impressive. Have a video to share? We’d love to check it out. Email us at...

BassGirl: Spain
It has been a while since we featured a video of the bassist known as BassGirl. This young bassist just keeps getting better and better with each video too. Here’s a recent video of BassGirl performing Chick Corea’s “Spain”. Also cool: her dad is the drummer. It is so nice to see a young, up-and-coming bassist appreciating great music from...
Snarky Puppy: Thing of Gold
Check out this Snarky Puppy video featuring the tune “Thing of Gold”, from their groundUP release. It takes a bit for the bass to kick in, but once it does, Michael League makes it groooooooove.

“In My Life” is one of the most touching Beatles songs, and Rob Smith brings that passion and soul to his solo bass arrangement. Rob really nails the bridge with some awesome two-handed tapping.

The duo is made up of Francesca Pirami on vocals and Alessandro Corsi on resophonic bass, stomp box guitar and back up vocals. Corsi’s unique style incorporates finger-style plucking and flamenco-style strumming...
Rich Brown: Solo Bass Beauty
Facebook friend Michael J. Benham shared this solo bass video of bassist Rich Brown, saying “Just found this guy. Quite amazed that he has remained under the radar.” This solo piece is just beautiful, with amazing technique and a sound that makes you think Rich is using a delay (but isn’t). We haven’t featured Rich in a long time (last...
Willy González Nuevo Trío: Zamba del pañuelo
I’ve been on a traditional folk music kick, so this video of 6-string bassist Willy González and his Nuevo Trio struck a chord with me. Here the group plays their version of Argentinian folk composer Gustavo “Cuchi” Leguizamón’s “Zamba del pañuelo”. The interplay between the musicians is superb and is matched in elegance by a pair of dancers for a...
