As I am just learning the bass having started again a few months ago having not played a four string beast for more years then I care to mention! I am practising scales, learning riffs/songs via the web (YouTube etc.), making up bass lines and trying to remember them the next day, also started playing along to a metronome this week, I guess I am playing 2-3 hours a day at the moment due to unemployment, usually play when the wife is at her p/t job so I don't annoy her
