learn these scales, they are exellent for warmup:

another good trick is to play without your index finger, this makes you pinky strong as well as inproving dexterity.

I just use the 7 modes as finger warmup exercises along with the chromatic scale. I find it works quite well. Actually, I don't think any finger workout work quite as well as attempting to learn a solo that is just at your skill level. I find this motivates me more since I'm not just playing a scale ascending and descending..hope that helps..

I realize that this is a really old thread... but I missed it and I wanted to know if anyone had any good websites for exercises for bass?

I like this site for guitar exercises: http://www.myguitarsolo.com/schedule.htm
