I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to put this. Does anyone know a good site to learn how to play bass from? I'm just starting to learn and I only know how to do one thing on the bass. Forgot what it was called though.

Is a great place to start, it has a lot of good articles and examples that will teach you what bass is all about and how to jump in and play.

When you have exhausted that I recommend drilling the major and minor scales, the blues scale and the major/minor pentatonic scales and then Major and minor chords (including 6, 7, and 9 chords).

Also be sure to start jamming with drum machine, and playing with people as soon as you can!
