Reader Spotlight

Meet Chris Hardy, a long-time bassist who went from performing in bands to becoming a solo artist. Chris is this week’s No Treble reader in the spotlight. Here’s his story...

Meet Alex Thompson, a bassist of 35 years who got an early start in music before life took him in a different direction. Over time, he returned to performing, joining the band Rocket Gods.

Meet Steve Steele, a bassist from New York City who seems to be as down to earth as he is funny. Here’s his story…

Meet Roger McLachlan, an accomplished bassist of 55 years. He has quite the story to tell.

Meet Jared Beckstead-Craan, a bassist living in Brooklyn, New York. Jared shared some great stories, including one about their parents and their bass superpower/claim to fame.

Meet Ryan Griffiths, a musician who started on piano and cello before finding his calling on bass. These days, Ryan plays in the Prince tribute band EndorphinMachine and has a deep love for pedals.

Meet Pete Paul Nemec III, a bassist who goes by Lobo. Pete started in Chicago and made his way to the Nashville area (with a stop in Florida in between). Here’s his story...

Meet Nikos Chatzitsakos, a bassist originally from Athens who now resides in NYC. Here’s his story...

Meet Martin DeGrace, a bassist we’ve featured in our Daily Videos. Martin was eight years old when he saw Gene Simmons play, and that was all it took. Three years later, he started playing bass, and he’s done it for 42 years now.

Meet Chris Semal, a long-time bassist (and more). One of Chris’s superpower moments was jamming with Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones.

Meet Matt Ross, who first thought he wanted to play the guitar (after hearing Hendrix), but realized “bass is infinitely cooler.” He has one of the most hilarious superpowers too.

Meet Omer Al-Katib (aka Omer Plays Bass), a bassist with 41 years of experience and an impressive collection. As you’ll see in his “superhero” response, he’s a pro’s pro.
