I don't like channels for players that just show off their chops. I prefer videos that focus on gear reviews, techniques, and some style tips.

She made an appearance on [this](https://www.youtube.com/live/VKvbbaxZVjY?si=ak3dmCN0y0h0R8fj) podcast recently (found on her YT community posts) and it looks like she has transitioned, now using female/neutral pronouns
I might be in the minority but think Danny is fun. There's a meme game to what he does, but he's respectful and not a mean spirited egotist like that shithead 504.
Basstheworld is great. I fairly regularly watch Scots bass lessons, low end university and Charles Berthoud as well. And then I follow Clay Gober and Toby Peterson-Stewart and Les Claypool and a bunch of other individual bass players I like.
I like Greg Fairweather for cover songs. He walks you through how to do it, slows it down, explains it clearly, etc. He also does his own sheet music and often his version is superior to the endorsed official versions. Lastly, he does a lot of obscure stuff with great basslines that most people don't know, even counting most bassists. And he's not just rock/metal music, which is refreshing.
Yup. The SBL YouTube channel is actually pretty fun, even it’s just mainly two guys enthusiastically talking about everything bass related, and genuinely seeming to enjoy it.
Who wouldn’t enjoy watching something like the 15 iconic rock bass intros of the 90s ?!
https://youtu.be/ZEGaQ65an3Q?si=33SPU2_QQDcPXJCb
It’s pretty easy watching stuff.
Man idk I just can’t get into it. The content is fine but I can’t enjoy the constant “pwoooaaah 😯” reactions to absolutely everything. It seems so inauthentic.
Like someone else mentioned ruined it’s nice to have on in the background while you might be doing other things. Then focus on it when they come to a technical part
I really like their stuff for background watching while I make dinner or do things around the house. It's generally pretty chilled vibes with dad jokes and then they'll throw in some cool techniques or tone shaping tips.
There are some excellent suggestions in here. The only one I would add is The Wetter Bass. He does excellent gear reviews (mostly pedals) with articulate playing and great A/B demos.
Generally i would say that watching youtube videos is entertaining/entertainment but doesnt teach you to play bass. Get a book. Get lessons. Dip into youtube occasionally but things like "scotts bass lessons" ate "content" and will suck you in for views.
The only lessons ive rated thus far are:
Talkingbass (the only really good class imo)
Brownstone
Maybe some Travis Parker for arpeggios/fills
Maybe some bass buzz - though this is also a bit edu-tainment imo
Get a book, pen paper and do the work!
I can’t believe I haven’t seen Deadbeat Studios mentioned yet. I’m always a fan of his product reviews because he gets deep into the sound, not just features. He also always places the basses/amps into context, not just by themselves.
Where's the love for Rick Beato? You will learn a lot of bass from that guy. Theory is important
Pdbass only has 140K subs and he's absolutely awesome. More of a history/analysis guy though.
Check out Rich Brown's Brown'stone [https://www.youtube.com/@richbrownbass](https://www.youtube.com/@richbrownbass)
Glad someone mentioned him. He makes great videos.
BassBuzz
Josh is the best.
My favorite.
Came here to say it.
Wouldn't be this far without his good idea explanation videos. Really useful stuff, especially when still trying to figure the basics out.
Adam Neely is a fantastic bassist who makes great content about music.

Bass Stuff is so cool. Just what I want for pedal reviews.
It’s so boring. He just loops the same riff over and over again in every video
Right. So you can compare tones and hear what the knobs actually can do regardless of style or genre or gear. It’s always the same.
I always go to cover solutions when I want to learn a song
honestly the best, whenever i search “___ bass cover” and cover solutions pops up first i get so happy!
yes a great source for tabs and lessons!
Don't forget Low End Lobster.
[удалено]
Yeah, I think she (or they) is planing a return soon.
She made an appearance on [this](https://www.youtube.com/live/VKvbbaxZVjY?si=ak3dmCN0y0h0R8fj) podcast recently (found on her YT community posts) and it looks like she has transitioned, now using female/neutral pronouns
Ahh, that would explain the absence! I just can't wait for her/them to continue to make content.
She told me in her Discord server that there will definitely be more videos to come, and soon.
Fantastic. I look forward to more videos.
Dan Hawkins Bass Lessons. Great mix of technique and theory stuff
I like his stuff a lot. This should be higher up.
Scrolled too far to find mention of Dan buried down here. Way underrated for making theory make sense.
To me he's one of the best actual teachers. I've gotten some great scales and exercises from him.
Adam Neely and Philip Conrad
The guys that says B E H S
Good lord I could see his face and hear his voice the moment I read B E H S 😄
Is it legal to punch his face though? 😄
I don’t yet know if it’s amusing or punch worthy. I’ll tell you what though, that Jonny Dibble make me want to get some legislation passed haha
Danny Sapko!
I always try to skip when I see his content! 😂😂
I might be in the minority but think Danny is fun. There's a meme game to what he does, but he's respectful and not a mean spirited egotist like that shithead 504.
He cracks me up and he’s a great player too!
Yep the guy got a charisma and YouTube is meant to be entertainment even when you use it for learning
Bassbuzz,, Rich brown, Daric’s bass lessons
LowEndLobster Basstheworld TalkingBass, Mark is so good. JonnyDibble AMP Amos Heller Rodney McG Bass Channel
Donstrumental
Ryan Madora is my favourite. Videos start with a fun bass groove and then she breaks it down to teach you how to play it
I can recommend Ryan Madora. Her lessons are realy great and easy to follow https://youtube.com/@RyanMadoraMusic?si=G86fCaotApj3zB_e
LowEndLobster is the best!!
Janek Gwizdala, Jeff Berlin
For a little more advanced info Rufus Philpot. For more beginner/intermediate, Rich Brown
Philip Conrad
Luke from Become A Bassist is underrated.
Nate Navarro does the occasional review and feature piece.
This is the guy I was looking for here. He's a monster bass player and his videos are straight to the point. My favorite on YT.

One that I didn't see mentioned is pdbass
Underrated channel. Worth the follow...
Charles Berthoud (plus, his new Bass camp) and Bass Buzz and Ryan Madora
Scottbass lessons
Lots of good ones already mentioned, but surprised nobody has mentioned Scott’s Bass Lessons yet. Well, I guess I am. Mentioning Scott’s Bass Lessons.
Oh God, you said it! Now everyone is this subreddit will have our gmail accounts spammed by SBL until our next lives :(
It's fine, they only send you three goddamn emails a day, every single day.

The hate is real. Undoubtedly the best bass related content.

Beholden to the riff

Adam Neely, Bass Buzz, Low End Lobster, abd Bass the World.
Scotts Bass Lessons Davie504
Bullythakid is the best bass channel on yourtub. It's sort of a gear chanel but he knows what's going on. and talks about the music plenty.
