Reader Spotlight - Page 26

Meet Rich Zbaraski, a bass player living in Leicester, UK who has quite a love for bass (read more below to see what I’m talking about). He has some pretty cool stories to tell as well. Rich is No Treble’s reader in the spotlight for the week of July 15, 2013. Bio: 18. Cheese fanatic. A fetish for bass that...

Bio: I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Double Bass performance from Lebanon Valley College and a Masters of Music in...

Meet Connor McClelland, a bassist from Queens NY who is pursuing the dream. Connor got his start on a $70 Toys R Us bass (his gear list has improved since then), and he refers to playing bass as his “my piece of sanity.” We like that attitude. Connor is the No Treble reader in the spotlight for the week of...

Meet Luke Boismier, a multi-instrumentalist who seems laser focused on one thing: music. When I read the first sentence of Luke’s reader spotlight entry, I knew we had to pick him for this week’s feature. As I read more, I was even more convinced. Luke is No Treble’s reader in the spotlight for the week of June 24, 2013. Bio:...

Meet Gabe Bernard, a bassist and student who has one of the coolest dads around. We really enjoyed Gabe’s story, and so he was an easy choice for this week’s reader in the spotlight. Plus, he put Joe Dart down as one of his influences. Awesome. Bio: My dad decided that the moment he left college he would start a...

Meet Peat Rains, AKA “Epileptic Peat”, who pushes the envelope in just about every way. (You’ll have to read on to find out what I mean). And if you see him at a live show, he’ll even give you his drink tickets. Peat’s gear list is impressive too, but I’ll admit it: I had to Google “TalkBoy from Home Alone...

Meet Sal Pisciott, a bassist who describes his band and music as “blues-punk” and who caught our attention with both his story and his witty bio. Sal is No Treble’s reader in the spotlight for the week of June 3, 2013. Bio: I’m a 21 year-old musician and student living in Queens, New York. Majoring in English, I look forward...

Meet Catalina Villegas, a bass player from Miami, Florida, who now resides in Medellin, Colombia. She had us hooked with the very first sentence in her interview. We think you’ll like her story too. Catalina is the No Treble reader in the spotlight for the week of May 27, 2013. Bio: I’m Cat and I am madly in love with...

Meet Spencer Herbert, a bassist who first got stuck in some sort of “enrichment class” for people who wanted to play the guitar, knew better, and got a P Bass. Ten years later, he’s still loving the low end. Spencer is our reader in the spotlight for the week of May 20th, 2013. Bio: I’m a twenty-three year old bass...

Meet Charles Robitaille, a bassist from Montreal who got a later start in life than many here, but made up for it with hard work and a love for the bass. Charles is our reader in the spotlight for the week of May 13, 2013. Bio: Well I started playing pretty late, at about 17 years old. I worked very...

Meet bassist Patrick Edwards, a bassist who has played “FOR-EV-ER”, teaches metal (and other) riffs to little kids, and said some pretty nice things about us (that’s not why we picked him, but it didn’t hurt.) Sounds like Patrick is living the dream. That plus his great storytelling made him an easy pick for our reader spotlight this week. Bio:...

Meet Charley Sabatino, a bassist from New York who has an impressive resume and a great answer to the “superpower” question. We love his story for why he plays the bass… thanks to John Entwistle. Charley is our player in the spotlight for the week of April 29, 2013. Bio: I am a veteran bassist with more than 35 years...
