Top 10: The Most Watched Bass Videos (April 2024)

The Jaco Pastorius Archive delivered big with this recording of Herbie Hancock’s “Watermelon Man,” performed by Tommy Strand & The Upper Hand. Jaco was only 19 at the time.

I love the Scott Devine’s and Ian Allison’s videos where they break down songs and bass lines. In this episode, they take on one of the greatest of all time: Tony Levin’s work on “Sledgehammer” – and more.

I love when Charles Berthoud reimagines songs on the fretless bass. In this new video, he takes on the Red Hot Chili Peppers tune, “Under The Bridge.”

Marcus Miller and Omar Hakim took the stage at Berklee’s Spring Bass Bash. Here’s the duo jamming on the tune, “Jean Pierre.”

No Treble readers never fail to impress us. Here’s a video Milan Srdanovic shared with us of a masterful solo bass arrangement of “Niška Banja.”

Nathan East and his son Noah performed at Campus JAX in March, and cameras were rolling. Here they are performing Steve Wonder’s “Sir Duke.”

Hadrien Feraud dropped another spectacular video from his “Bass of Doom Sessions” series. Armed with Jaco Pastorius’s legendary bass, here’s Hadrien and the band performing Joni Mitchell’s “Black Crow.”

Zander Zon tuned his bass to match a cello’s, put a capo on the 12th fret, and then performed a stunning rendition of Bach’s “Prelude from Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major.”

NPR’s latest Tiny Desk Concert is a special one. Linda May Han Oh performed music from her 2023 album, “The Glass Hours,” as well as new material.

You have to hand it to DHL. They asked Cory Wong to “write a song that demonstrates the idea of ‘supply chain’.” Cory delivered an excellent, funky tune with the help of bassist Yohannes Tona, and some killer string and horn sections.
