For a while now, I’ve been having fun at home removing bass parts from my favorite songs to jam along with them in a real playback setting. It allowed me to lay down my own bassline, work on my groove, and sometimes even improvise. Over time, I built up a collection of stems with the bass removed, and I figured—why not share them?

I know there are already plenty of bass tab videos on YouTube, but most of them have the YouTuber playing over the track, which doesn’t really leave room for you to play freely. What I wanted was a real playback experience—no bass, just the track, so I could jam as if I were in the band.

That’s why I started https://www.youtube.com/@playbass31

No ego, no personal showcase—just pure sharing between bassists. I’m not trying to make money (everything is under copyright anyway). The only goal here is to help other bassists have fun and groove on their favorite tracks.

If that sounds cool, search for PLAYBASS - Bass Playback n' Tabs on YouTube and check it out. Let me know which songs you’d like in a bass-free version, and I’d love to add them! 🎸🔥

💥 Let’s groove! See you there! 💥

Love the idea! I’ll check out the channel and send some song requests your way soon.

I recently became interested in picking up a wooden end pin. I bought the one here for £25 but it doesn’t fit (10mm spike!).

 

So I’ve decided to build one. In fact, I’m going to build two.

 

I’ve got the wood and fitted the stoppers. Need to measure the ideal length and cut the wood then stick the spike in (Gorilla Glue!).

 

One will be for barefoot practice at home and the other (slightly longer) will be for gigs where I wear shoes.

 

Total costs so far is £7.

 

Will let you know how it goes!

 

 

Customizing the end pins for both barefoot practice and gigs is a smart idea. Using Gorilla Glue should give you a solid hold for the spike, just make sure everything is aligned properly before it sets.
