For pro bass players/ anyone with a degree in music, how good are different bass influencers compared to you and your classmates?

I was just wondering. Charles Berthoud, Davy and others are definitely not slouches but how to they compared to others who dedicated their lives or their study to the instrument. Or are the difference more nuanced, like Charles might excel at tapping but not be a top tier jazz fusion player like someone who specialized in that would.

And also which influencers make even you go damn.
