I played when I was in my 20s - stopped for about 15 years - the stuff I've learnt since starting playing again would have been beyond me back then - wasn't focused enough. As others have said "never to late"...
Initially there's no real reason to pay for knowledge, loads available on the Internet, stuff here, SBL.com,etc.
Learn your major and minor scales first - once you know these it's pretty much playing any of these in time and in the right key. A bit over-simplified but true.
Don't forget to recognise your progress, "[i]from small acorns great Oak trees grow[/i]", "[i]slow and steady[/i]", loads of sayings which mean that you need to stick with it. If you can you'll get there.
You've come to the right place for help and answers to your "[i]daft questions[/i]" - BTW there aren't any.
Welcome...

I created a fold in my laptop with a lot of websites, tutorials and videos about learning bass guitar. I'm compilating the max of information I can get to start. Although, I don't have the instrument yet, I'm reading and seeing a lot....
