The CAGED4BASS sequence is shown for C natural in the diagram that follows:-

The diagrams that follow show all of the C pentatonic major scale notes plotted over the 5-string bass' fretboard in the CAGED4BASS and GuitarPro6 styles:-

As always a more long term solution to fretboard navigation is to see scales 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 C pentatonic major scale are detailed below in the

Once the individual box shapes have been assimilated all five shapes should be linked together and played in one continuous exercise (with the first shape - 3C* - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the CAGED4BASS chain-linked sequence for the C pentatonic major scale box shapes. |
