Well I've been playing bass for almost a year, and have learned how to play some pretty fast/ cool sounding stuff. I played this kid's bass in scholl in front of the band teacher and he said i look good technique wise and stuff. THing is, I can;t really make a bassline for crap, although i can easily learn one. I think i need to learn scales and stuff, but how? are there books and stuff I can buy to help me laern them?

Try this.

Also type "bass line" into the Google search on TB search and you should find some help there.

learning theory i.e. scales chords and rhythm etc will help, but the real important stuff comes when you apply that learning by looking at basslines you like and start understanding why you like them... once you understand (from a music theory point of view) what your ear likes, you can throw some of that into your own basslines at will..

everyone has their own little bag of musical fragments they like to pick & choose from... you might find you love the sound of a major 6 interval slidey up thing to a minor 7, or the sound of a m7 to m3 interval drop over a minor7 chord... whatever floats your boat, learn what it is, then incorporate it into your vocabulary
