2019 Reader Favorite Bassists – #2: Joe Dart

Joe Dart

Editor’s Note: At the end of each year, we tally up all the article and video views on No Treble to come up with a list of the top 10 most popular bassists. This is entirely based on readership, not on opinions, polls, or anything else. Just having some fun.

Joe Dart was another busy bassist in 2019. As usual, he was a part of Vulfpeck, with a new album and a Madison Square Garden concert (and the videos that went with both). He also reunited with the Fearless Flyers for an album (and more videos), as well as Theo Katzman. But the biggest news was the announcement of his signature bass by Ernie Ball Music Man.

WATCH: Vulfpeck has released another video featuring a tune from their album, “Hill Climber.” My favorite comment on this video is “Joe Dart taking that bass for a walk and he ain’t ever comin’ back.” This is also one of the coolest uses of Animoji’s I’ve ever seen.
