Hello there
I'm new in bass and start learning bass guitar but played piano some years.
Now I'd like to know is there any Bass Instrumental albums ( like Maksim in Piano and Steve Vai in Guitar )?
I found some legend bassists' music but there're a lot of vocals in there.
So please recommend me some good Bass Instrumentals songs or albums ( whole band is okie but not too much vocal please).
Thanks guys

Michael Manring & Victor Wooten have solo bass albums.
I prefer bands...so there's plenty of bassist-led albums...back to the '70s with Stanley Clarke, Jaco, Jeff Berlin.
Then there's Gary Willis (he may have a solo bass album, Actual Fiction).
John Patitucci..."A Better Mousetrap" from On The Corner has multi-tracked bass parts. Looks fun.
Bill Laswell? Baselines is an example.
If you like a little "ethnicity"? Jonas Hellborg, Avashai Cohen, Fima Ephron, & Alper Yilmaz all have albums under their name.

Perhaps you might enjoy some of my instrumental tracks?

Upright, but still awesome, are the Superbass albums with John Clayton, Ray Brown, and Christian McBride. When I first started playing bass I got every bass album I could find and these were some of my favorites.



More upright is The London Double Bass Sound. The bass section from the LSO does a bunch of music with Gary Karr as soloist (Paganini on upright... wow)
