Favorite bass youtuber?

I really appreciate your rec of The Bass Channel and I also appreciate your mention of affiliations. Any academic presentation or article includes this very important notice of potential conflicts
Certainly!
- I am new enough I'm not a 'core member' as yet
- I am not making money from TBC. A handful of people have come to my site to buy things directly after seeing them on the channel - there were two videos about my 3d print stuff back in 2019, when I had just met the other guys.
- The channel is still small enough that the only monetization just goes to keeping the channel running; everyone has actual jobs as well
- The guys disclose when they have been given product as compensation (per youtube guidelines)
- And all the gear-review videos are very heavy on letting the viewer decide for themselves, instead of saying 'we think this is awesome' or 'we think this sucks' much.

Favorite? Hard to say.

I do like Rick Beato, Scott Devine, Dave504, Paul Davids, LowEndLobster, Warren Huart, Adam Phillips, Alberto Rigoni, Davey Pollitt, MarloweDK, Ted Talks Bass, Donstrumental and several others.
 
I really enjoy Scott's Bass Lessons. But it's a little weird that he took on a colleague who looks so much like him that you have to stare at every video a second to see which of them it is.
My wife walked in one day when I was watching a video with both of them in it -- she stared at the screen for a second and then said, "I didn't know James McAvoy had a twin brother. And they both play bass?"

She's right. Never occurred to me.

while I follow a particular twentysomething bassist and an Israeli bassist, I am so amazed by the crop of kids of incredible talent in the age 5 to 10 I am amazed that these kids have thrown over video games for music. Glarry has got it right with a very affordable mini mini precision and amp set for less than $150 including sales tax
