A History of The Bass

Posted by Benjamin on November 30, 2014 Filed under: bass, video tagged: history

We were pointed to this via Twitter (you can follow me there if you like: @BassGuitarBlog). This video on YouTube, staring Michael Thurber,is a rather fantastic history of bass playing the Viola Da Gamba in the 1500’s, to the present day, via Wellman Braud, Nathan Watts, Larry Graham, Flea, and many others. Well worth the 8 minutes to watch!
