How do people use scales on a bass guitar?

Jan 29, 2009 by Will D | Posted in Performing Arts

Hey, I have a humdrum question here for anyone who would like to answer it. And the question is "How do people use scales on a bass guitar"?
How are scales added into riffs as a fill or a solo?
And if you use a gradation pattern but do it faster, backwards or out of order, is it still considered the same scale, or a scale at all?
I hope this isn't a complicated answer, but thankyou to anyone who answers.
thankyou for answering
thankyou for answering, that makes it profitable much more understandable.
But i have conjured up 2 more questions haha
