If we're going to use this as an all-purpose bass thread (something we need, imo!), how about people post their practice routines and tips on getting better? There have already been some good tips in this thread for which I (and I'm sure other novices like me) are very appreciative.

As is, my practice usually involves me doing major, minor, natural minor, major and minor pentatonic, and minor blues scales all over the fretboard at varying speeds, sometimes to a metronome and sometimes not, then playing along with various songs (usually have about 2-4 I pick per week or two that I play over and over, then I switch), and then just doodling and coming up with poo poo that sounds good for a bit while I watch TV or something. I'd love to hear from the resident experts on what they have found to be the best ways to improve.
