And awesome site with 3 online books about anything involving the bass... including theory!
Book One Includes:
Notes of the neck, Fretting Notes, Fingerstlye,guitarstyle, pick, etc. Hammer-ons, pulloffs, slides, bends, vibrato. Right hand dexterity, Slapping and popping, two handed tapping.

Book two and three are all theory based. Scales, chords, improvizing, walking bass lines, etc.
