If you’re searching for a little inspiration for your delay pedal, look no further. This video of bassist Stefan Hergenröder and drummer Claus Hessler has got you covered. The footage here is taken from the recording of the track “Löewenzahn” from Hergenröder’s upcoming album, and yes, that’s how he plays it live. The bassist uses a single delay to create...

The Bach Cello Suite is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, and thankfully it translates pretty well to bass. Here’s the first movement of the first suite performed by master bassist Jeff Bradetich. The clip is taken from his DVD of the entire first suite.

Stanley Clarke: Acoustic Bass Solo

Stanley Clarke: Acoustic Bass Solo

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.

Adam Stevens: All Bass “Chameleon”

Adam Stevens: All Bass “Chameleon”

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.

Adam Ben Ezra: Openland

Adam Ben Ezra: Openland

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...

Marco Panascia & Dario Deidda: Jazz Bass Duet

Marco Panascia & Dario Deidda: Jazz Bass Duet

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!

The Motet: “Canned Heat” Cover

The Motet: “Canned Heat” Cover

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.

Jack Bruce and Friends: “X Marks The Spot” – Live (1980)

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

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

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

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

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...
