Bass Guitar Scales, Fingerboard & Music Theory Reference
Keep essential bass guitar information visible while you practice with this large 23" x 35" Bass Guitar Poster from Hal Leonard. This colorful wall reference combines bass scales, a fingerboard chart, practice exercises, and the Circle of Fifths on one poster.
The large format provides significantly more reference material and display area than a standard 11" x 17" music chart, making it a useful option for a bass practice space, teaching studio, or music room.
10 Bass Scale Types in Multiple Keys
The main section of the poster provides fretboard diagrams for 10 different types of bass scales:
- Major
- Minor
- Major Pentatonic
- Minor Pentatonic
- Harmonic Minor
- Melodic Minor
- Blues
- Mixolydian
- Dorian
- Lydian
The scale patterns are organized by key and displayed as bass fretboard diagrams, allowing players to visually compare patterns and positions.
Bass Guitar Fingerboard Chart
A dedicated fingerboard chart provides a visual reference for notes across the bass guitar fingerboard. Keeping the fingerboard reference alongside the scale diagrams makes it possible to relate individual notes to the scale patterns shown elsewhere on the poster.
Bass Practice Exercises
The poster also includes a dedicated exercises section with written musical exercises to complement the scale and fingerboard reference material.
Rather than reproducing the exercises themselves in this listing, we've kept them where they belong—on the original Hal Leonard poster.
Circle of Fifths
A Circle of Fifths reference is included at the bottom of the poster, adding a music-theory reference alongside the bass-specific fingerboard, scales, and exercises.
Large 23" x 35" Wall Poster
At 23" x 35", this is a large-format bass guitar reference designed for wall display. Its size makes it considerably larger than a typical notebook chart or 11" x 17" reference poster.
It can be displayed in a home practice area, music room, rehearsal space, or teaching studio where having bass scales and reference information visible may be convenient.
