The pentatonic scale helped me a lot because it provides a path from the fat strings to the little ones without my neck hand having to move left or right. When I learned the bass is usually tuned the same as guitars, the bass suddenly seemed a lot less mysterious. If you were to practice the pentatonic on a guitar, you would be studying the bass at the same time. You may want to practice playing the same notes on both instruments.
If you like improvising, I recommend going to u-tub and searching for “jam tracks” or “backing tracks”. An available option is to enable “Loop”, which a musician might need so s/he can keep hammering away.
