AGH! What do these numbers mean?
I must be some kind of string instrument imbecile because I can't make this out. I am learning to play the bass and my book uses notes, then I go activebass.com to check out music there and I see number instead of notes. What do they mean?

Your book uses sheet music? I guess it tells you how to read music as well?
The numbers are fret numbers. everytime you go up a fret you go up a semitone. there are 12 semitones in an octave the semitiones for each string are E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab, A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D, E A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D, E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab, A D, E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab, A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D G, G#/Ab, A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D, E, F, F#/Gb, G, the first is 0 the last is 12. I hope that wasn't jibberish.

Oh no, I already know how to read music, I was just confused about the numbers. I looked at the tablature guide on the web site and figured it out. Thanks all.
