I've plucked away at the root notes of a few things before now, but I'd like to do a bit more. While I'm not trying to hit Norman Watt-Roy/Mark King levels of difficulty, I'd like to do a bit more than just hit the root note in time to the rhythm.
So what advice would anyone give me on where to start? I've looked online for bass courses and they're as many and varied as guitar courses so I'm a bit baffled.
And is there the same "ya gets whats ya pays for" thing when it comes to buying a bass as in guitars, or are the lower priced ones not as bad as some of the lower priced guitars?

Now get a Muse or red hot chilli peppers tab book and get to work
Have a google for Scott Devine's online bass lessons - they're free and very useful indeed.
Or just play guitar riffs on the bass. Works too.
Otherwise it occurred to me earlier I could just do some practice on Rocksmith - that works for bass, too, so it would give me a reasonable start. It's a start, anyway (till the lag starts driving me nuts cos the game thinks I've missed a note when I haven't).
