I put together a short list of four awesome bass exercises. Remember to start slow, then build up to blazing speed!
Easy Breeze
The Weird One
Mello-Bass [Make sure you let the "~" notes ring out]
Guard Your Bass
Remember to have fun while you play, otherwise you are just wasting your time. I may post a video of my playing the riffs later on!

Getting your right hand technique down is vital to you becoming a bass rockstar. Follow these warmups below to improve your right hand speed and dexterity!
Count Chocula
“Dang!”
The General
Mystery Machine
Don’t let the strange names fool you, these tabs are seriously good practice. Work up until you can play them extremely accurately and with high speed.

These bass guitar exercises are meant to stretch out your hand. Do not worry if you have smaller hands, just complete the exercises without overstretching, if possible.
The numbers above some of the tabs are the recommended fingerings. (Where 1 is your index, 4 is your pinky) Also: I just made up the names.
If you don’t know tabs, check out How to Read Bass Guitar Tabs.
Carpal Tunnel (of love)
The Advanced Gnome
Slunk Waterfall
Hercules Sweep
Fifty 50
Nothing Major
As with all exercises, practice until you have great technique, then build speed. Happy playing!
