Just starting to play again

[spinofdoom]

As the title, just starting to play again after almost 1 year of not touching the bass.I've almost forgotten everything, so yeah.

what should i do from here, cause i dont know what i should do to get back, and i wasnt even very good before i stopped anyway

[Danny Fox]

I suppose a good way to start would be to go over everything you first started learning, right from the beginning and take it from there.

just take every scale you know and discover all of the songs you grew up loving that are contained in that scale! its fun and educational. whenever my son asks me how to play a certain song, i send him away with the root notes and scales. a few hours later he comes back, playing the song, with a huge smile. gl.

Since you've been gone backing tracks are now all over the Internet. Play along with those backing tracks, I bet, it will come back quicker than you expect.

Play R-R-R-R and change with the chord changes.
Then give the Minor pentatonic - R, b3, 4, 5, b7 a try. Start on the 4th string 10th fret and yes flat the 3 and the 7.
