CAGED4BASS - Csus2 arpeggio box shapes

This issue demonstrates the ideal notes to create bass-lines over SUSPENDED SECOND chords i.e. sus2.
The easiest example of the sus2 is rooted on C natural, hence the C natural version of the CAGED4BASS octave sequence is shown in the diagram that follows:-
The diagram that follows shows all of the Csus2 arpeggio notes plotted over the entire 4-string bass guitar's fretboard in the CAGED4BASS style:-
As always a more long term solution to fretboard navigation is to see scales/arpeggios as INTERVAL shapes rather than note names - as these are universal to all scales, arpeggios and chords rather than specific to one particular root note - with this in mind the intervals for the Csus2 arpeggio are detailed below in the CAGED4BASS manner:-
The table and tabbed panel below detail all five box shapes for the Csus2 arpeggio in the CAGED4BASS style.
