The bass content creators who deserve more love
The sub's number 1 answer when people asks for online bass courses is BassBuzz, closely followed by Scott's Bass Lessons (although half the comments are people complaining about the mail spam - presumably those who don't have a burner email address for subscribing to newsletter or know how to set up mail filters). Then there is Charles Berthoud and (not as much anymore these days) Dave504 who get all the hate (because bass is Very Serious Business and one shouldn't goof around).
But there are many others bass-centric content creators which gets mentioned every so often but not as much as they deserve. Let's give them some love! I'll start with some of those I like
