The diagram that follows shows all seven of the CAGEFD octaves shapes for use with the
box shapes for a Fender Bass VI (E1 standard - EADGCF).

Fender Bass VI's fretboard in the CAGEFD octaves and GuitarPro8 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 major scale (ionian mode) are detailed below in the CAGEFD octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C major scale (ionian mode) in the
CAGEFD octaves style.
