Who should I youtube?

As an electric bassist interested in purchasing and getting involved with double bass, I wanted to get everyone's input in who I should be listening to.

I love rock and roll, bluegrass, jazz and classical.

I'm open to all styles and look forward to your suggestions!

Who you should be "listening to" is Chris Fitzgerald, who posted a sticky at the top of this forum stating GUITARISTS, BASSISTS, CARS, BOOKS, TECHNIQUES, AND RECORDINGS ARE ALSO NOT BASSES . There's a forum called "Bassists (DB), created for discussions like this one.

Hehe, sorry about posting it in the wrong category. I Just got a little excited while reading through another post which had a link to a DB player. I honestly didn't even think about which forum I posted it in.

Feel free to move it to a more appropriate location moderators.

.....and keep the suggestions coming! I'm loving them!
