The Reader Spotlight debuted in our first year (2009). It remains one of my favorite things on No Treble to this day. Here are the top 10 reader spotlight features from 2023.

Juna Serita is spreading some holiday cheer with this solo bass arrangement of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”

Today, we’re kicking off our annual “Best Of” lists, sharing the content readers love the most. We cover a lot of bass gear over the course of a year, and 2023 was no different. Here are the top 10 No Treble reader favorite bass amp stories for 2023.

’Tis the season for some wonderful holiday-themed bass videos, and Zander Zon delivers with this beautiful performance of “O Holy Night” with a fretless and ebow.

Our friend Pete O’Neill always delivers with his solo bass arrangements. He’s sent us his latest, just in time for the holidays. In this clip, he performs John Williams’s “Somewhere In My Memory” from “Home Alone.”

Charles Berthoud is helping kick off the holiday season with his take on Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s “Christmas Eve.”

Time to wrap up the week with a look back. This week’s top 10 reader favorites on No Treble include some gear news, our interview with Will “Mustang” McGee, some new bass instructional books, Paul Thompon’s “From the Bottom” episode on valuable three-note exercises, and more.

We love Julia Hofer’s videos, and this is one is a great one for all bassists. Julia walks through her daily warm-up exercises, aimed at improving our playing.

Talking Bass’s Mark J Smith recently shared this great video, breaking down Pino Palladino’s legendary bass line on “Everytime You Go Away.”

Recorded on October 10, 2023, here’s Caroline Polachek’s Tiny Desk Concert performance. The band, specifically bassist Maya Laner and Russell Holzman, really got me moving.

It’s always exciting to see a new video by Kinga Glyk pop up. It’s even more exciting to watch. In this one, Kinga creates a beautiful bass interpretation of “Remember Me” from the Pixar movie, “Coco.”

While this video quality isn’t the best, it sure is a joy to watch. Ellen Alaverdyan recently took the stage with a band to play a tune by her favorite band.
