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.
We’ve reached the top of the list, and this year’s reader-favorite bassist is Tal Wilkenfeld.
Tal was busy this year, touring with the Allman Betts Family Revival and Incubus and recording some great music with Scary Goldings and Scary Pockets. All of this generated a ton of views, landing her in the top spot for 2023.
