Best Youtube Bassist?

There are thousands of bassists in unsigned bands and folks doing covers on Youtube. Who do you think is the best? I am starting this with my vote for David from Deep Kick. He has a bunch of covers on Youtube but I think this is his best.

There is a few more videos of him around, but that one just has always left an impression.

How about Lydia? There's a Dutch woman who calls her youtube channel kaboesj http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mO9UbWMycM She's pretty decent and even sings pretty well.

Here's a couple more of hers:

And she's even a pretty funky rhythm guitarist. Here's her Christmas song:

But I don't know what's the deal with the headgear.

ZodiakIronFist inspired me with his enthusiasm and love of playing for the fun of it.

RIP Rob, you are missed.

Can't say that he's the best bassist on Youtube but in my book he sure does some amazing things on an 11 string bass (his fretboard damn near looks like the inside of a piano - maybe he should play an 88 string bass). Don't have a clue if he can hold down a bass line or lock in with a drummer but by God he's got some serious talent at what he does. Quite a number of Youtubes and NAMM shows and Solos, check a few out (his Mario Bros one floors me - kinda makes one think, all that talent but why that song?)

Not to be a bummer, but I'm not feeling the love.

I'm hearing a lot of "music store chops" for the most part. (Though I guess these days they should be called "YOuTube chops" ). I can walk down to GC in NYC and hear stuff that's comparable most any time. Beaver Felton was doing all that stuff in the early 90's. Where's he?

Lydia is great. Really musical -- though I'd love to hear her shed the Marcus Miller influence. I think she has the potential to be even better.

Wadenius is probably the best "cover" artist on YouTube.

No one mentioned Miguel. The guys devotion to Chris Squire is staggering, but he can do his own thing too. He covers dozens of Yes songs.

Hell, there are a few guys right here on TB who are great and many others who are very, very good. And of course, no one knows who fits a band situation, has good ears, or best or makes the groove feel good when playing together.

I guess this is just my little rant to say that music isn't an Olympic competition.

But feel free to check out MY Youtube videos! LOL!
