First one needs to understand what boredom really is.
As my mother always said to me..."
A person who is bored, is a boring person."
Boredom is a lack of interest. It isn't that you just don't feel like doing anything...your aren't interested in what you ARE already doing. So, find something else that does interest you. As Ed pointed out, you need to practice things that push you harder in one phase of your playing or another. Unless you have mastered all that is bass, being bored with it is impossible. Perhaps try playing new or different material. If you play rock, try figuring out bass lines to some classical music. Maybe take certain things you can play rather well, but not perfectly and work just on those things until they are perfected.
Maybe it's bass you are bored with. Play a different instrument then. Read a book, watch a movie, sleep with your girlfriend. Playing bass 24/7 can bore anyone. Find other hobbies and get away from bass for a little while. Buy some new gear. Sometimes a new piece of gear will create some excitement or change change the way you hear your bass.
