Anybody play bass?!

[SummaryJudgement]

So, I've wanted to learn to play for the last twelve years or so and am looking to pick up something off of Ebay.

Does anybody have any good on-line resources for learning? Anything I should be aware of before I buy? I've been a Claypool fan for half my life and was thinking about starting with a six-string, but not fretless because I have no clue where to put my fingers or play yet!

Any input/suggestions/warnings?!

Thanks guys!
