A minor blues scale box shapes for 6 string bass
This issue demonstrates the A minor blues scale box shape for 6-string bass with the all important orange letters omitted.
The CAGED octaves sequence is shown for A natural in the diagrams that follows:-
The diagrams that follow show all of the A minor blues scale notes plotted over the 6-string bass' fretboard in both the 
and CAGED octaves styles:-
NOTE:- The GuitarPro6 fingerboard shows E♭'s enharmonic equivalent spelling D# (the augmented fourth interval name rather than the diminished fifth used elsewhere on this page).
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 A minor blues scale are detailed below in the CAGED octaves manner:-
The table and tabbed panel below details all five box shapes for the A minor blues scale in the
CAGED octaves style.
