Gonzo192 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Hello people! I’m keen to follow more bass stuff on YouTube. Who do you recommend? I’m big into ‘all about the bass’ on Andertons, Scott’s Devine of Scott’s Bass Lessons is interesting to watch too, not just on the Bass Lessons front but with the interviews he does and the brand history sort of stuff - I love all that kinda thing. Adam Aarts does pretty cool gear demos, particularly of pedals to give you an idea of how it sounds on bass, which is what pushed me to buy my Walrus Audio Slö Reverb (which is nuts by the way - might do a review of that soon) I’d quite like to find some more interview sort of stuff cause that’s always cool to watch or stuff that engages the audience somehow, like jam tracks, posting in photos whatever! If anyone’s got any recommendations - put them on me! Cheers 😁 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Ed Friedland (The Bass Whisperer), is a favourite of mine. He is a pro bassist, who also writes books on how to play bass. His bass reviews are to the point and articulate. He also tours and records with The Mavericks, a US Mexican/Americana type band. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Leland Sklar is who I've been watching. He's played on more tracks than anyone else and whilst not every episode has him playing, he knows virtually everyone and has an anecdote from almost every session he has done. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammybee Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 My favourite (because he plays a lot of 70's/80's soul/boogie/disco) is a guy called BelgaBass. A man of few words, but his playing is on point. Often playing very tasty pieces of vintage gear too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo192 Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 @yorks5stringer @sammybee I’ve seen clips of Leland Sklar before, good shout! But thank you both, will check them both out properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarPig Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Adam Neeley and although not a bassist, Rick Beato for good overall content. Coversolutions, Luke from become a bassist and Talkingbass for lessons and such. Never really got into Davie504. Andertons are good, especially now chappers isn't about. Ed Friedland is great, not so keen on Scott Devine, too much noodling. BassBuzz can be pretty good for beginner stuff. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mep Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) I've just been watching Anna Sentina. Very impressive playing. She's a multi instrumentalist and collaborates with others. Her videos are very well put together and she covers quite a few styles. https://www.youtube.com/user/Lilchoccarrier Of course Guy Pratts lockdown licks are the best!

scalpy Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Travis Dykes. Nashville based if I recall correctly, Gospel and Church bassist. Got that hip modern thing going on for lessons, blogs and covers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barking Spiders Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 For me there's no doubt about it that Mark Smith's Talking Bass site is the one to go to. https://www.talkingbass.net/ Unlike some (ahem Davie 504) he's not about showing what he can do although he's a master of the instrument. He cuts to the chase and offers very clear explanations of how to learn certain techniques. His lessons on slap are excellent. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 You want on point reviews our very own @Dood aka Dan Veal From Guitar interactive magazine gives very good demo’s. Avoid Patrick Hunter, he makes every pedal sound exactly the same no matter what they are, Basstheworld are reasonable with some nice players, they will showcase the instrument - but - Male your own mind up on the stuff they show, they will never give a negative review as they are paid by the company they are reviewing to do a review so it won’t be entirely impartial. Mr Excane Demi’s are good. Rock Beato is absolute gold dust 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegriffiths91 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Big fan of Janek Gwizdalas stuff. Adam Neely and Rick Beato as previously mentioned too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An additional "non bass related" is Aimee Nolte, a jazz pianist in California - does a lot of music theory based lessons like Rick Beato. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a guy who knows how to write a great bass tuition book (like Stuart Clayton) - must have at least half a dozen of Ed's books 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisbassboy5 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Bass Buzz is awesome, his explanation and music offerings for scales as shown here knock SBL into the dust, no money changing hands either..Sorry Scott.. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 👍 to Dagan from PMT TV. Although it's clear he's mainly a guitarist he has a good presentational style and has put up some good 'shows' on great cheap/budget basses and guitars 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 The only bass-related channel I've watched much of is Davie504's stuff. I'm not sure I understand all of the humour, but he does make me laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
