Get a bass guitar or double bass method and start from there. The fasttrack method for bass guitar is not the most interesting to play, but you learn the notes (and some basic theory) and the book is cheap. |

Please provide some suggestions regarding what you think.
Also, how 'bout the reading exercises here: http://www.emusictheory.com/practice.html.
I absolutely love some of those. The rhythm based ones and note name exercises are quite useful, IMO, definitely so for a beginner.
