Once you know where the notes are, you will automatically know where the sharps and flats are located. Play bass is an easy to learn skill from a technical standpoint. After all, the bass younot need to learn chords not. At least not at the beginning. While you learn the notes on the fretboard you can not start immediately on learning the bass parts to some of your favorite songs from tabs. The major task for you is still the ability to take your place as a part of the group you are in. Learning the notes is a start, learn it, so therefore you have to think about the time and practice to take.

You will see that I have written the sharp symbol (#) on the diagram of the bass fretboard. You probablyalready know that one man's sharp another man's flat according to which key the song is in F # for example, it can also be called Gb (G flat) because it is both the note above F and G below the note . easy to understand but difficult to explain.
Normally you start learning the bass guitar through the use of the E and A strings to play the bass line of a few simple songs. You can start by just remember where the notes, but it will help if you have the task of learning a song or set yourselftwo. Your memory always appreciate any help from your body and your feelings, so try to learn a few songs will help you get the notes under your skin to get. Would you say that I did only because the first ten Frets. You will see that it is one octave on each string. Once the notes on those Frets off by heart, the remaining notes will be much easier to learn.
If you have a look at the diagram of the fretboard to take, you will see the note at the fifth fret of theE string (A) is the note on the next open string, so once you play until the fifth fret, you can either play in the neck or you can start playing the notes on the next series. If you already have learned to play the guitar it would be a surprise for you. Now that I have the basics explained, as your head spinning a bit, just go back to the simplicity of what you are learning: four strings, four octaves consist of seven notes. That's it. Good luck.
