Best bass songs - Part 4

Hi, Another best bass song for you. Today featuring Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers. The song is Soul to Squeeze and it's one of my favorites from them. Very simple with a very pleasant bass line. As I said, the featured bassist is Flea. Born in 1962 he is already considered a master of bass guitar. He started playing trumpet and according to many sites and magazines he was quite good at it. In the end,  as many other bassists, he found that the bass guitar was the best instrument for him. Present in numerous charts and polls made by the most respected music institutions, today he is a very respected bass player.

Mike Stern new album - All Over the Place

Hi Mike Stern is releasing a new album. You probably are wondering why I am posting about a jazz guitarist. It's simple, this album has eight different bassists playing it. Mike invited some of the best bassists that we all know and made a album with their precious collaboration. It features bassists like Victor Wooten, Victor Bailey and Dave Holland so we can only expect goods things coming from this album. The sad thing is, we still have to wait. All Over the Place will be released in June 19 and this time I don't find any pre-sale in Ebay or Amazon. Expect my personal review as soon i can hear it decently.
