Tips

Now Ive been playing for a while Played all Kinds of differnt music.
The best I can find to have good bass riffs give you a good challange
and have made me better are songs by these artist...

Thrice-Almost any song of there\'s will give you a good workout..examples
Stare at the sun (as of now still the hardest song I know) ,Blood Clots 
and Black Holes,To what end etc.

AFI-Many of their songs are good..

RHCP(Red Hot Chili Peppers)-Almost any song is good..

Avenged Sevenfold-Most songs the bass plays same as guitar but it creates
a challange...

Thats just a few that I think you should listen to and you will get better
as you learn some of their songs..
