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.

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.

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...

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!

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

Viaceslav Svedov is back with a new all-bass cover. This time, the versatile bassist takes on Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Look Around”. Complete with the classic Viaceslav bass faces.

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...
