Alex,

Check out http//www.carolkaye.com and see about ordering some of her materials.  A lot of us have had bad teachers or acquired bad habits, and she gives great advice about correcting them.

I know how you feel.  The more I learn about the bass, the more I discover I DON'T know.

Y ahora en espanol:
Visite a http://www.carolkaye.com y compre unos de sus libros o videos.  Muchos tocadores de bajo han recibido instruccion de pobre calidad, o han aprendido a tocar incorrectemente.  Ella ensena muy bien como correccionar la situacion.

Entiendo como es.  Lo mas que aprendo acerca del bajo, aprendo que hay mucho mas que ya no he aprendido.

Buena Suerte!

How'd I do on the Spanish?  I'm a little rusty.  (And how do you put in tildes and accents on this thing?)

I'm 37. Been a musician since age 11, but only discovered the ecstacy that is bass about 6 years ago. Oh the time I've wasted.....

Hey thanks a lot Mariscos, you do it well in Spanish, (there´s some words wich seems to be traslated by an American but I supose that it happens to me too). I´ll watch the page.
Now in Spanish:
Hey muchas gracias Mariscos, lo haces muy bien en español ( hay algunas palabras que se notan que han sido traducidas por un/a americano/a, pero imagino que a mi también me pasa. Mirare la pagina

I'll be 38 in May...been playing since 1979.

You are a "youngen," you lucky thing! I started bass lessons at age 38. It's a lot easier to learn new stuff when your brain isn't so calcified with age!
