BOB SACHS is a Bassist, Arranger and Educator, who at age 6 started playing his first musical instrument, an accordion. Over the years Bob learned to play guitar, saxophone, piano, the bass guitar and his first love, the acoustic bass. But it was at Arizona State University where he graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Education that he found he liked playing the acoustic bass most of all.

Bob has had many gigs here in Las Vegas playing in various shows and for many famous, well-known entertainers. He also has played on many recordings with different artists. Bob has participated in six USO Tours playing in Wayne Newton’s Orchestra.
Bob continued his education while living in Las Vegas, and now holds a “Master of Music in Jazz Performance,” and has taught bass at various Music Studios around the Valley.
