BAGED octaves : 5-string baritone bass
(F♯0 baritone standard - F♯BEAD)
C major scale (ionian mode)
1 2 3 5 6 7 - C D E F G A B
General
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the C major scale (ionian mode) (1 2 3 5 6 7 - C D E F G A B)
and join them all together for 5-string baritone bass (F♯0 baritone standard - F♯BEAD)
to form one long BAGED octaves chain.
The BAGED octaves sequence is shown for C natural in the diagram that follows.

The diagram that follows shows all five of the BAGED octaves shapes for use with the
box shapes for a 5-string baritone bass (F♯0 baritone standard - F♯BEAD).
The diagrams that follow show all of the C major scale (ionian mode) (1 2 3 5 6 7 - C D E F G A B)
notes plotted over the 5-string bass' fretboard in the BAGED octaves 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 major scale (ionian mode) (1 2 3 5 6 7 - C D E F G A B) are detailed
below in the BAGED octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C major scale (ionian mode) (1 2 3 5 6 7 - C D E F G A B) in the
BAGED octaves style.

Once the individual box shapes have been assimilated all seven shapes should be linked together and played in one continuous exercise (with the first shape - 5B3 - being repeated at the 12th fret). |
The GuitarPro8 TAB shown below demonstrates the BAGED octaves chain-linked sequence
for the C major scale (ionian mode) (1 2 3 5 6 7 - C D E F G A B) box shapes
for 5-string baritone bass (F♯0 baritone standard - F♯BEAD).
