How old is he and what sort of music does he play? A nice strap or good favorite bass songs would always be good.

There is always someone better and ways to improve, but the question is wether a regular bass teacher can help improve from a certain level.

The problem is there isn't much additional stuff/accesoires for Bass.

You need strings, but everyone has their own personal preference, and if you don't know them its hard picking the right one.

You need a metronome and/or tuner, but thats usually already in ones possesion.

Same for stands or wall mount, bag/case, cables, amps...

And if you are talking new amps or a new bass, its getting really expensive.

If he or you is also interested in DIY/art/woodworking, you can buy a relatively cheap, diy bass building kit. You can paint it, reshape it, ... but in the end its just a cool project and the quality can't compete with bought basses.

Yah he's made several and his skill will be very limited he had a stroke 4 years ago and never gained full control back lost some vision his ability to remember and speech has been greatly affected along with his ability to move his fingers.

I feel bad because he used to love to sing and play the base and guitar in a band and the stroke kinda took it away from him

I don’t play a guitar 🎸, but don’t they use a pick, maybe a pic?
