Here's a basic 3- to 4-month plan:
1) the names of the strings
2) the names of the parts of the bass
3) good basic technique
4) scales (e.g. all major scales one octave, then minor scales one octave)
5) all the names of the notes on the first five frets on each string
6) the pentatonic scale
7) how to read sheet music (reading tabs not recommended)
8) chromatic scale and whole tone scale
9) All the modes in all keys
10) Arpeggios (major, dominant, minor, diminished, half-diminished)
11) 12 bar blues progression
12) walking basslines on a 12 bar blues progression
All the while listen to your favorite basslines and try to play along with them.
