thelibster:bass is the great site with tons of transcriptions, lessons and sounds. Excellent reading, chord and ghost notes lessons. I spent a lot of time with them and all lessons, exercises and samples are perfect and balanced. They are leading you to success step by step. There are also a lot transcriptions of bass lines with mp3 samples.
I cannot remember any other site with such selected and carefully presented free material. Be patient and attentive and you’ll definitely increase your skills.
