Re-learning the bass

Hi, i am 42 and i bought an ibanez ATK500 a couple of months ago after 12 years of silence (stopped playing). It's not easy to play again, certainly because i am not in a band anymore.
Great thing is that i have inbetween learned musical theory and that i now can read a partition. What would you recommend me to do/play to be as effective as i could in (re) learning to play bass? I like blues, r&b and fusion Jazz.
