Favorite bass youtuber?

I'll second the Bass Channel. Especially the covers with Josh. Dude's a monster and seems like a nice guy, to boot. Johnny Dibble also has some nice stuff, as does Lobster. Troy (TJHsomething, dude with all the masks) is a go-to guy if you're into covers and his right hand technique is so damn spot on I'm jealous. Isslamow too, even if just for the sheer volume. Ayumu's also good, usually plays a Dingwall with a pick and I love his tone. BassBuzz has some good stuff as well and the dude's really likeable.

Davie is probably the first name that comes up for "youtube bassist" but I deeply dislike him and his content, so...

And then there's me! I'd love some more views! :D

Gev Delano, from Indonesia (I think), is great to watch. There isn't much in the way of tutorials, it's just him playing along to tracks, or jamming.
The thing is, he is, like 11 years old and tackling some really difficult pieces, with infectious enthusiasm.

Oh, and he has such a cute dimply-wimply face, it's impossible to not smile back at him.

Full disclosure: I am affiliated with these guys now (just shot a couple pedal videos with me as host, coming out soon), but only because I've been a fan and became friends with them a couple years ago. The Bass Channel on youtube, formerly 'Bassic Gear Review' but they changed the name when they started doing other types of videos.

The review type videos are basically just facts and tones without much editorializing because everything is subjective, but they've also delved into things like tonewood and bass aging and pricepoints and things of that nature.

There is a slightly metalhead bent to it just because so many of us enjoy metal, but it's not nearly the entirety of it. Lots of contributors, some more known than others, have sent in direct-recorded riffs for reamping through all the various gear for comparison's sake, things like that. That's why I like the channel - it isn't all virtuosic playing and cherry picked sounds; there is something for almost everyone.

Hopefully my plugging the channel doesn't run afoul of anything.

Yeah, I love those guys.
