Frank Itt on Basstheworld has one of the BEST bass faces when he shows how it's done!!! And he sounds amazing of course.

MOAR FRANK!

A good one from pdbass on Ronnie baker, I didn’t know much about him or that he played on so many great tracks 

 

[Jamesemt]

My personal favourites:

 

"Philip Conrad" for slightly old school feeling reviews and wisdom https://youtube.com/@philipconradmusic?si=E2NwXxJMpPBc750r

 

"Bass Stuff" for no-talking comparisons with gear https://youtube.com/@BassStuff?si=44fe3B9xDEM1ctIR

 

"Made on Tape" for multi track recording on tape but the guy is a bassist so a lot of it has a bass slant https://youtube.com/@MadeOnTape?si=7kzmHOaYRNf1pvgq

 

"Twoodfrd" for guitar repair but is a lot better than Dave's World of Fun Stuff and is entertaining even if you'd never tackle a repair https://youtube.com/@twoodfrd?si=PvubE5C2ERmBA6Rd

I don't ever want to see that again.

I like the lad because he covers all the Mr. Bungle tracks.

 

They're my fav

I’ve quite enjoyed going through Bruno’s videos, such a good player and a real mixture of basslines 

 

[Hobbayne]

I saw one of Scott Devines videos recently. He seems to have got himself a partner to help him with his vids.

After 10 mins of them laughing, whooping and seemingly having a whale of a time I had to turn it off. 😑

I actually like the other guy, Scott I'm not keen on.

Yeah, Ian is a pretty good host, but I got tired of Scott's schtick some time ago.

I just wanted to share the update to THIS topic (my last post) that I hope will be of interest to those looking for Bass Magazine Youtube content. Bass Gear Magazine is having a little refresh and over the next few months I'll be creating some upbeat content (as will the rest of the review team, of course!)

 

Thank you all.. 

 

p.s. if you could kindly >> subscribe to my own channel <<, I'll be posting some 200 shorts of bass goodness when I have the chance. Don't miss it!

Another one of my favourites from Naoto

There's some great stuff around these days for sure; outstanding playing, teaching and gear reviews can be found easily on the platform.

A development that I find interesting is that many of the productions have become incredibly slick and perhaps that has become an end in itself?

Take Jonny Dibble for example - his technique and timing leave a lot to be desired but he seems to personify the modern 'unboxing/gear-review' presenter and is obviously very appealing. I wonder how much of that appeal is due to his skills in knowing the genre and audience, producing and editing chops and investing in top quality gear. An influencer with a bass? 

Just a thought - maybe it's always been like this!

Not bass specific but some interesting insights in to the music industry. 

Two Promoters, One Pod

Presented by the promoters from Arctangent/200 Trees and Damnation festivals. Although they're metal/rock festivals, a lot of what they talk about applies to all types of music festivals and the industry in general. Lots of interesting stories from their years in the industry, probably a few they should have kept to themselves! The riders episode was particularly good, they talk about the good, bad, weird and confusing.

Like every time I try to update a component on my PC or look into using some specific apps for specific purposes, the (prolly sponsored from head to toe) Linus Tech Tips thumbs swarm my results, and all I can see is his dumb "reacts" O-face, in literally anything related to a PC, even though I never clicked on his stuff, as I just can't stand him.

 

Enter Johnny Dibble when I try to look up anything gear related... 😁

That'll be the chappy that taught me how to play Africa by Toto (and that Washburns were okay) - Cover Solutions.

Smoothie Bass - the classic combination of score, tab, tone, and talent. And here, as a bonus, two small children get on camera.  

 

Enjoy this circle of 5ths exercise, here:

Another vote for Constantine Isslamow

 

...but I'm surprised no one has mentioned Danny Sapko. He's a great player and combines self-deprecation with humour. He's got his own shtick, but he balances it nicely with some gorgeous bass work.
