So you can stop searching, and start progressing.
We’ve never offered this before, but for a limited time we’re giving you a FREE MONTH of the SBL Academy on us.
You’re about to unlock unlimited access to everything in the Academy to transform your playing right now.
Plus, when you choose an Annual free trial below, we’re also giving you a can’t-miss bonus gift: The complete 2023 Bass Space recordings.

Don’t miss out. We’ve never offered this amazing package before, and it disappears very soon…
I hear this from frustrated bass players all the time.
They feel lost whenever they practice. And instead of making consistent progress they can see, they feel like they’re constantly wasting time going round in circles.
All they want is for someone to give them everything they need to really take their bass playing to the next level.
Learning in isolation through YouTube videos, books or random courses is OK for quick riffs or one-off techniques. But it’s one-dimensional and not giving you the full picture.
If you want to experience massive gains in ALL areas of your playing — from your fretboard fluency, to your timing and groove, to your creativity and improvisation… you just cannot get that from one-dimensional courses, books and YouTube videos.
So if you’re caught in the trap of chasing random clips and courses, and never really know what to work on to truly level up your bass playing, we’ve got the solution.
Because the SBL Membership gives you everything you need to become an outstanding bass player — all in one place.
It’s virtually everything you get from music school — but for a fraction of the price and from the comfort of your own home.
You get courses with expert instructors, a curated curriculum for your development, feedback from expert coaches and mentorship from A-list bass players. All while you surround yourself with a community of your fellow students for support and accountability.
Scott’s Bass Lessons is without question the very best online music school I have used. Very impressive.
To celebrate the 2023 Bass Space event, for a limited time, we’re giving you a free month of the SBL Membership — on US. For the first time ever! You’ll enjoy instant, unlimited access to the full SBL Membership and community…
When you claim a free trial of the Annual SBL Membership, we’ll also give you free and immediate access to the recordings from the 2023 Bass Space event as soon as they’re live.
So get ready to relive all the jaw-dropping moments from Bass Space 2023. Including the remarkable session with Nick Campbell about demystifying walking bass, where he reveals…
Or you can make sure you picked up every juicy nugget from Ian’s interview with Bakithi Kumalo, where Bakithi reveals…
Plus you can also catch up on the other 15+ sessions you may have missed.
Our ever-growing course library is HUGE and features in-depth courses on virtually every skill you could ever want to learn as a bass player.
Players Path is a step-by-step platform that can guide you from absolute beginner to all the way up to pro-level.
You’ll know exactly what to work on every time you sit down to practice to make the most progress for your current skill level.
Submit videos of yourself playing to myself and the education team and you’ll get the one-on-one feedback you need to perfect whatever skill you’re working on.
Experience real-time mentorship from A-list bass players like Michael League, Gary Willis, and John Patitucci.
Get answers to your burning questions and expert guidance to avoid common problems with multiple weekly live streams.
Whether you need constructive feedback or a friendly push, our members support each other’s journey and feel a sense of belonging over a shared love of the bass.
