it has no major or minor character so feel free to use it over absolutely everything, regardless of what else is going on in the music
learn to stick an octave, a minor 3rd and a minor 7th in there and you have a minor pentatonic scale... many rock bass players have made an entire career from knowing just that one scale

Perfect 4ths clash horribly with major chords. Stick to 5ths over major chords and b3's over minor chords. It's true that the perfect 4th isn't an avoid note over a minor chord (it's a very nice tension when used in a solo), but to create a bass line or groove around it in minor is a terrible idea, since it sounds like the bass is flailing around trying to resolve to a I, since the root you're playing is going to sound like the V of the IV. |
