We discovered this video thanks to MarloweDK, featuring bassist Ron Hall taking an extended bass solo, live at a club in Chicago. Funky!

In today’s featured video, bassist Stefano Francazio shows off his version of The Reddings’ tune, “The Awakening”, perhaps even better known to bassists thanks to Les Claypool. [Editor’s note: ignore the “Tommy the Cat” title on the video]. Thanks to our Facebook friend Laura Palumbo for sharing with us.

Bassist Marco Rodi performed what he calls a show of “ideas, compositions, improv”” in front of 4,000 people last year. He mentions that he covers a little bit of Stu Hamm at the end. We also heard some all-bass versions of Michael Jackson too.

Bassist and Twitter friend Joshua Pickenpaugh shares this unique video with us, with him playing a 4-part version of “The Chicken”, the Pee Wee Ellis tune made popular by Jaco Pastorius. What makes this especially cool is that Joshua recorded each part in a different country: France, Spain, Italy and Greece, during his gig on the Navigator of the Seas...

Bassist Scott Mulvahill first wrote this tune, “Leaving Home”, five years ago when he left for college. He recently added a bit to the composition and shared the update. Thanks, Josh, for sharing this one with us!

Stu Hamm shared this new video of Gretchen Menn’s “Oleo Strut”, where he lays down a solid groove with drummer John Mader. Stu really lets it rip at the 1:30 mark when he trades some smokin’ solos with the guitarist.

Esperanza Spalding has sparked people’s imaginations, but she’s not the only one who can sing and play bass. Here’s a clip of 20-year old Kate Davis showing what multi-tasking is all about. The performance is from a gig at Jimmy Mak’s in Portland, Oregon in 2008.

Filmed from the audience two days ago, here’s Victor Wooten and JD Blair playing the tune, “U Can’t Hold No Groove…” as their finale. The tune is from the album , recently re-released.

Here’s a funky clip of Danish bassist Lars Danielsson grooving hard with just him, a drum machine, and his trusty old Fender Jazz. Danielsson effortlessly floats between styles, and wraps it up by playing around with the last lick from Donna Lee.

Brothers Mike Beliveau (bass) and Tony Beliveau (keyboards and vocals) formed the trio The Crash Kings with drummer Jason Morris. But they approach it with a twist: to “create a band that once and for all could be ‘The Big Rock Sound’ without guitar.” The two brothers trade handling the guitar-like duties, with Mike hitting the tube overdrive and Tony...

Last time we featured Nathan Navarro, it caused quite a stir (in a good way). Here, Nathan shows off his skills and creativity with a tune he wrote, aptly named “Electronica Bass”.

Bassist Danny Fox sent us a few of his videos, each showcasing his musicianship (and cool Zon Hyperbass). This one, “The Meaning of Times Passing” caught our ear especially. Danny writes, “[These songs] are self-composed solo bass tracks and are played on my Zon Hyperbass. I was very honoured to have Michael Manring say that he liked them. [This] one...
