Bassist Eric Czar recorded this beautiful, multi-tracked all-bass composition, using his 6-string fretless. The story behind the bass is interesting too… Eric took an old Ibanez SR-406 6-string bass he bought for $300 and ripped the frets out himself. His advice? “Don’t be fooled by the price tag!”

Mark O’Connor recorded in 1991, with the help of over fifty Nashville musicians. O’Connor wanted to “showcase the instrumental side of the Nashville recording scene.” Here’s one particular line-up of interest, with Victor Wooten, Brent Mason and Paul Leim in a live performance.

Bassist Les July recently sent us this video, featuring his tribute to Kate Bush, and his bass and vocal arrangement of one of Kate’s tunes, “Running Up That Hill”. Les plays a Steinberger bass with Boomerang Looper and an E-Bow on this recording.

Simon Hayden originally wrote and recorded “Soweto Groove” for fretless guitar. Then he recorded this double bass version. We may be partial, but we like the bass version best. (And here’s the first link ever on No Treble to a guitar video, if you want to see the original).

Stuart Clayton offers his take on Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters”, performed as a solo bass arrangement. Stuart wanted to include the tune in his Solo Arrangements for Electric Bass book, but couldn’t secure the copyright permission in time.

Carl Palmer Band bassist Simon Fitzpatrick performs an all-bass version of the classic Queen tune, “Bohemian Rhapsody” in this video. This was filmed at the Cannery Casino in Las Vegas, during the band’s 2010 tour. Thanks to Alun Vaughan, who shared this video with us.

Daniel Ori posted a pretty creative video to help fund his new album on Kickstarter. No surprise, he hit the funding goal already.

Our Facebook friend Jeff Kerestes shared this video with us, with Pino Palladino working his magic on the fretless, way back in 1984.

(This is as close as we’re getting to an April Fool’s joke). Hat tip to Gregor Fris, who reminded me of one of my favorite Tom & Jerry episodes when I was a kid, just starting out on upright.

George Lacson shared a video with us, featuring him responding to a rainy evening in San Francisco with some solo blues bass. Or as George says, “sometimes you gotta thump n pluck your blues away…”
