How should I practice playing it on the bass?
I don't know where to look for sheets of music and such.

Good point. Finding bass clef sheet music on Pop, Rock, and Country songs is hard. Now fake chord or lead sheet sheet music is easy to find, however, will not have the bass clef. So we are left with having to compose our own bass lines.

Piano sheet music is an option. Most of the time your bass clef notes, on piano sheet music, will go below the ledger note E so you have to adjust - or have a 5 string bass.

Then there are music books for the bass guitar http://grothmusic.com/p-10197-real-...323430323236&gclid=CP_roKmJ6a4CFUhrtgodxz_zfw.

OK how should you play standard notation on the bass. http://www.studybass.com/lessons/reading-music/bass-clef-fretboard-notes/ click on Bass Clef notes on the fretboard. Basically you find your notes in what is called first position - the first four frets of the fretboard. Our bass is a three octave instrument. You get the first two octaves in first position and then the third octave is found elsewhere. Just go on up the 1st string is the easiest. Of course IMO.

Good luck.
