Do lots of finger exercises.I play guitar not bass, but spend 2-3 hours a day alone on them. Stuff like (fingers)1-2-3-4,1-3-4,1-2-4,1-3,2-3,3-4,1-4 in every imaginable combination.Up,down,across,skip strings vibrato,one finger, whatever.
Learn your arpeggios in all keys--Major,minor,diminished,augmented as well as the extensions( ex. A min7#5 arp)
Learn your diatonic modes(ionion,dorian,..etc) as well as harmonic and melodic minor modes.
Always play with people better than you.It is one of the best ways to learn.
