Well in essence, yes, Pentatonic scales are the same on Bass as they are on regular 6 string guitar. Pentatonic scales are 5 note (penta) scales derived from Major scales. They are played in modal fashion for minors etc.. Pentatonic Scales are just that, a scale. They can played on any instrument you wish. As far as fingering goes a bass guitar's strings are the same as the low 4 strings on a guitar so the position is the same for those 4 strings.
