On the bass guitar, scales are usually played
by playing all of the notes within one position of the
neck. Technically an A minor scale would only run from
an A to an A note.

But a lot of times when playing scales on
the electric bass, you will want to play the full range
of notes in one position. That means that sometimes you
will not be starting and stopping the scale on the root.
Though you should know where the roots are in any particular
scale fingering.
