I play guitar and know the basics….I want to learn bass guitar as I was always interested in bass….are there any good online lessons with pdf download support on net? Guys plz help me as I really love bass and bass is kinda unique….I admire it….I am also playing drums since last 4 years so i have an appreciable knowledge about beats and rhytm….. Plz help me as I wanna do smthing unique…..evrybdy isn't a gud a bass guitarist
P.S-plz dnt recommend personal tutions or any music school as I've checked most of them in my area….all teachers there are guitar players but not ‘bass’ guitar players or teachers specifically….so u see….therz no point in learning frm them….I want an expert so that I can be a good bass player not an average one….and I can't find any good bass guitar player in my area….

That site is fantastic that Sidsquishus has recommended, just click on the study guide and follow the lessons through in order.
There is a bit of reading at first and maybe a bit long winded but its worth it in the end.
Thanks man….once I buy bass i'll surely practice and read fr studybass.com
Firstly and most of all check the neck, make sure its not warped or anything,
then check the frets to see how worn they are (it could need a fret job) plug it in make sure it works, and that the tuning pegs work properly (thats not too expensive to fix i change mine pegs for about $40)
and also make sure you feel comfortable playing it
Also, when you're practicing, the metronome is your friend. If you don't own one, the studybass.com site has an online metronome. You can also download a standalone metronome from here http://www.nch.com.au/metronome/index.html. And, if you want to practice along with a drumbeat, orDrumbox is a decent, free drum machine software package http://www.ordrumbox.com
