Zander Zon wrapped up the first “season” of his Pandora’s Bass series with this video and arrangement of U2’s “With or Without You.”

Yussef Dayes and Alfa Mist is a very cool band. Rocco Palladino (Pino’s son) is the bassist, and I’m guessing he’s had some amazing bass lessons over the years. Here they are again, performing Dayes’ “Love Is The Message.”

Jason Raso sent us this video, and I immediately watched it, thinking, “this has a great Weather Report vibe!” Then I read the note: “Respectfully dedicated to Joe Zawinul and the music of Weather Report.”

We closed out 2019 with some big gear stories. Some of them were previews of the upcoming Winter NAMM Show, which has us pretty pumped. Here are the top 10 reader favorite gear stories for the month of December 2019.

For the second day in a row, we received a great bass and drums duo video from a No Treble reader. Travis Shaw has a new solo album coming this year, and he’s shared a video in advance of the release.

Zlatoyar sent us this video, which he recorded with fellow bassist Alex Golub and drummer Alexander Kasiarum. Here’s their arrangement of the System of a Down tune, “Spiders.”

Thanks in part to reaching a huge goal here at No Treble HQ in 2019, Geddy Lee closes out our countdown as the #1 “Reader Favorite Bassist.” It is great to still see Geddy going strong.

Joe Dart was another busy bassist in 2019. As usual, he was a part of Vulfpeck, with an album, a Madison Square Garden concert, plus the Fearless Flyers, and more. But the biggest news was the announcement of his Ernie Ball Music Man signature bass.

2019 was an exciting year for Tal Wilkenfeld. Tal released her much-anticipated solo album, “Love Remains.” Tal supported the release with a tour, which produced a handful of videos along the way. This landed her at the #3 slot this year.

Nathan East is one busy cat. We featured some incredible videos of Nathan over the course of 2019, as well as the news about him playing on Ringo Starr’s latest album. As a result, Nathan lands at the #4 slot for this year’s list.

Perhaps the busiest man on the bass scene, Pino Palladino was featured on several new albums this year. And as is the case with Pino, readers responded with a lot of clicks, landing him at the #5 slot on this year’s “Reader Favorite Bassists” list.

What can you say that hasn’t already been said about John Paul Jones? An all-time favorite for many of us, Jones has been featured many times over the years on No Treble. JPJ made this year’s “Reader Favorite Bassists” list, at the #6 slot.
