Or his take on 'Tears In Heaven'. Both of these tunes are the real deal: harmonically and melodically sophisticated music that is rhythmically strong. These are 'solos' that are not based on silly tricks and 'juggling' but on melody, harmony and rhythm. I don't live everything JB does (I don't like his High Standards and Low Standards cds, for instance) but you cannot deny this guy has chops, technically, compositionally and harmonically.

It's got to be Jeff Berlin's version of 'Dixie'.

Some more double bass, this is the complete Reginald Veal bass part for the tune 'Brother Veal' from the Wynton Marsalis Septet's 1992 album, 'Blue Interlude'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/brother-veal-wynton-marsalis-septet/

There isn't a bass player in here that cannot play this exquisite little tune but nobody sounds like Charlie Haden. This is the Haden bass part for the tune 'Cinema Paradiso (Love Theme)' from the 1996 Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden duo album 'Beyond The Missouri Sky'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/love-theme-from-cinema-paradiso-pat-metheny-and-charlie-haden/

From the same album, this is Dusty Hill's bass part to the tune 'Master Of Sparks'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/master-of-sparks-zz-top/

From the 1973 ZZ Top album, 'Tres Hombres', this is Dusty Hill's bass part for the tune 'Shiek'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/shiek-zz-top/

A special request that came through the website yesterday, this is the David Hood bass line from the tune 'Whale Meat Again' from the 1974 Jim Capaldi album of the same name. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/whale-meat-again-jim-capaldi/

Not enough double bass recently so here is the Robert Hurst bass part to the short interlude tune 'Juan (Skip Mustaad)' from the 1988 Wynton Marsalis album, 'Live At Blues Alley'. Some nice double stops but, otherwise, a fairly straight Jazz blues in Bb. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/juan-skip-mustaad-wynton-marsalis/

A one minute reading exercise that is 'real world' and represents a small part of the 2001 recording 'Here...Now' by the Wynton Marsalis Septet. The recording was a ballet Marsalis had written the music for and this is a tiny part of that, performed, I believe, by Gerald Cannon. It is not a show piece for anyone but it will allow a relative beginner to play at least a part of a Marsalis long form composition. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/style-wynton-marsalis-septet/

Another Mike Stern track, this is the Lincoln Goines bass part for the track '6th Street' from the 2009 Stern album, 'Big Neighbourhood'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/6th-street-mike-stern/

From the 1979 album, 'Touch Me' by The Enid, this is the first movement from the Charades suite and features the complete Terry Pack bass part to 'Humouresque'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/humouresque-charades-1-the-enid/

I have three more to post when I can get to it. It takes about 20 minutes to post an individual transcription and it is nearly all done on a laptop that is NOT the one I do the transcriptions on so it's a bit of a b*** ache sometimes to get it all sorted whilst there are other things going on. Bear with and I will get them up there soon.

Nick had my Marleaux from new. I think I am about the 10th person to own it 😊 I love it.

An early personal favourite of mine from 1976. I heard it recently on the radio and have always loved the bass line so, here we are.... From the 1976 album, 'Wings At The Speed Of Sound', this is Paul McCartney's bass part to 'Silly Love Songs'. Over 40 years in and this is the first PM part I have transcribed! https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/silly-love-songs-paul-mccartney-and-wings/

You aren't Nick Latham, are you?

I record from the earphone socket of my phone into Cubase. I then transfer it into Transcribe so I can write it down. Job done.

I have a Marleaux Consat. I do enjoy the Cello Suites as an exercise and it is lovely to see people playing things other than the first Prelude in G. Worth spending time with and great for reading practice.

I would love to be able to execute material that is way in excess of my existing capabilities but slapping, popping and tapping are things that don't hold my attention as a listener so I cannot see the point in exploring them as a player (also bearing in mind that they are never called for on a gig).

Not read the whole thread but saw the OP's original video. I call these guys 'jugglers' and 'acrobats'. It is interesting to note that all of these guys (and girls) are presenting videos that they have recorded in their home studios/bedrooms etc and never on a gig. That's because most of this stuff is party pieces. An awful lot of work to impress other bass players. I can't say I ever actually get to the end of one of these videos. I remember spending time on these techniques many moons ago but quickly realised that, whilst progress is evident and it is perfectly possible to get the chops together, I just didn't like the noise very much. It's great that these things are out there but I am not going to invest any time in learning how to make sounds I don't like until I have mastered those that I do (which will likely be never).
