Social Media

There are a few bass related posters on Twitter that I follow - No Treble being the main one.

 

I love Leland Sklar's YouTube series. Basically you're hanging out with Santa except at the end he talks about bass stuff and plays along with a song.

 

+1 on No Treble and Leland Sklar. Scott's Bass Lessons has good stuff, as does Daric Bennett's Bass Lessons. And welcome to TB!

 

I can't believe I wasn't following Mr. Sklar. Corrected.

 

He is a lovely person!

 

Bass The World is also one heck of a cool YouTube channel.

 

+1 on Scottsbasslessons . Type in the name of a song you want to play and you can find all sorts of guys playing it . A guy named Davie also iz a hell of a bassist .

 

True, but he really needs to cut back on the caffeine!

 

Two YouTube channels I like are Low End Lobster (great reviewer) and Jared Dines (yes, he is primarily a guitar player). They are both charismatic, informative and leave me inspired.

 

I really like Or Lubianiker, but he hasn't been active for awhile. Lots of gear reviews/samples.

 

And the new age trendy-ness.

 

I’ve been digging Ian Allison’s Instagram content lately: Login • Instagram

 

Ed Friedland on Youtube.

 

Real Bass Lessons on YouTube. Jim Stinnett is the presenter and he has absolutely wonderful instructional videos for all levels as well as genres!

 

Not big on the "Online Bass Lessons" with Scott or Jim or whomever. And Adam Neely was a complete waste of time for me. Because teachers are required to answer questions, and they...don't. And their teaching...meh. They could really benefit from feedback.

Follow Janek Gwizdala @janekbass. He has a lot of videos on the YouTubes. Lots about bass playing, musicianship, and life. Probably the best channel about what it's actually like to be a musician in the world.

Follow BassTheWorld on YT, because Gregor and Rene do good reviews and are honest.

Follow Thomann's Guitars & Basses on YT because not only can Julia play, she's a great fan and interviewer.

Follow the bassists that you like who are active on social media like Nathan East, Billy Sheehan, Federico Malaman, and Hadrien Feraud. And definitely follow Victor.

Ed Friedland does good reviews and is a good guy.

 

+1 for @LowEndLobster on youtube, excellent review videos.

And juliaplaysgroove on youtube has some awesome covers. Very talented young lady.

 

I really value youtube for bass, but I personally don't use instagram, facebook, or twitter anymore. I waste more time there and I could be playing or exercising. I just find them toxic.

Second Ed Friedland, Juliaplaysgroove, and any of the Warren Huart Produce like a Pro featuring bass players.... and Premier Guitar Rig Rundown that has bass. Actually, I would watch those for any genre or style of music. I dig the gear and the players.
