2021 Reader Favorite Bassists – #2: Marcus Miller
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.
No surprise, Marcus Miller is another bassist who routinely lands on the annual Reader Favorite Bassists lists here.
Like most years, we shared many videos of Marcus in many diverse settings. In addition to that, Sire expanded their line of Marcus Miller basses with two new models.
All of it added up big time, placing Marcus in the #2 spot on this year’s list.
