Wanted to share a site with the board. It's
http://www.songsterr.com. Some you may have already heard of it or been there. Here's a little history: I'm a middle aged guy with absolutely no music experience of any kind. Definately not gifted and no artist. Smaller hands make bass playing a real challenge. Add poor memory and no former music experience. Was just about ready to retire the bass due to a HUGE learning curve until I found songsterr.
Been tinkering with the bass for a few months. Tried some private lessons (too slow for my taste), tried watching youtube videos and lessons, tried a few youtube private lessons (guys selling their online music classes), bought cd's and dvd's on ebay but nothing has helped my ZERO experience become something like songsterr.com. There's a free version but for myself the $10 bucks a month blows away everything else with huge results. I am not affiliated with that site.
There is no better tool for learning tabs, timing, rhythm, fingering, fretboard and improving speed. You can look ahead of the tabs while the music is playing to know where to place your fingers. The only thing this can't do is practice for you.
