Been scouring YouTube for introductory bass lessons for my daughter. I think she enjoys have a cool bass in her room much more than actually being able to play it... Hoped if I could find something accessible and cool she'd start to make progress.
Any YouTuber in particular you'd recommend? Her taste is for pop really; that Harry Styles chap mostly, but also RHCP (so there's hope).
Thanks.
Stu Hamm has beginner stuff on Truefire. You can sometimes get cheap annual membership $99US.
I prefer him to Scott's Bass Lessons. But it different for each of us.

If she’s a beginner then strongly recommend 1/1 in person
If You Tube is the only option then some people like “Scott’s Bass Lessons”
Does she read music or this new Bass her first instrument ?
She can read music and has had piano lessons for years. One-on-on isn't terribly practical right now because of fitting it all in after school. I'll have to get her underway with YT and encouragement... Thanks for the recommendation.
Upgraded my Artist 5 string with a black Wilkinson bridge with brass saddles, generic black string tree, and some black Guyker 1:26 open gear tuners, they're both direct replacements for the crappy stock stuff, tuners feel really smooth and the bridge looks so good on the guitar, will post some pics up tomorrow, only issue I had was the stock tuner screws were a larger diameter so had to reuse those silver ones instead of the replacement black ones, but if it annoys me I'll pickup some larger black screws after xmas

That bass is sexy - the natural finish!
A sure cure for seasickness is to sit under a tree.
which is half the reason I can't stand him... there is a guy I do like but can't remember his name and I don't seem to have subscribed to him. Oh well.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Donstrumental is great for reggae bass.
