Tip #1: Always make sure you're in tune. There is nothing worse than being a little out of tune.
Tip #2: Start small. You're not going to be Les Claypool in a week.
Tip #3: Practice, practice, practice.
Tip #4: Order a Hal Leonard Tab book off the internet of a "normal" band. That'll get you started. Don't start with metal (if thats what you're in to). Foo fighters is a good basic band to start with.
Tip #5: Practice some more.

I don't play Bass, but I think Scott Grove on youtube has some lessons available.

His lessons are worth the money if you do the downloads, he's a little odd, but he's a good teacher.

Welcome to the club...
Nothing better for rock n roll than a good bottom end.
I have and ESP and a Rickenbacher 4001 in pearl white with stereo pick ups.

Learn your scales.

Learn I, IV, V and vi in every key.

Ex. Key of E
I = E
IV = A
V = B
vi = C#m

Find some friends to jam with.

Watch Victor Wooten and anyone else on YouTube who is amazing.

The more you practice the better you'll be!
