2018 Reader Favorite Bassists – #10: Tim Starace
For the second year in a row, Tim Starace has made the top 10 reader favorite bassists list.
Tim’s band, YYNOT, had a huge year. They released their debut album in June and started performing around the country.
We also had Tim on as a guest for Groove, our podcast.
That, plus some excellent videos, landed Tim at the #10 slot on this year’s reader favorites list:
Groove – Episode #48: Tim Starace
It’s hard to argue that Tim Starace from YYNOT is just another Geddy Lee clone playing Rush’s fabled music. Both statements would be incorrect. Anybody who can even play close to the brilliance that is Geddy on bass is worthy of attention, and Tim brings a whole next level of creativity, sound, and energy to the bass…
YYNOT shared this Rush cover – and a new drummer – back in January 2018. In this clip, they play “Natural Science” from Rush’s Permanent Waves…
YYNOT: The Spirit of Radio (Live)
YYNOT packed the house for a concert in Melbourne, Florida in March and shared this live clip of “The Spirit of Radio” from the event. Tim not only nails the bass line, he also took on the foot-controlled keyboards (Geddy style!)
YYNOT: Prelude/Freewill (Live)
It is great to see YYNOT gaining so much traction with fans. The band performed at The Diesel in Detroit on October 27th, and once again, they putting out some great concert videos…
After releasing their debut album, YYNOT shared some videos for their original work. “Etheria” was written by guitarist Billy Alexander, and as always, sports that growly bass by Tim…
