Training your ear with bass guitar is kind of hard because of how low the notes are

Know your chord tones in and out. Have them memorized like a multiplication table. The third of Eb, the flat 7th of C#, etc

It’s unclear what he’s asking about and I assume it was something along the lines of what notes should i play?

Or is he asking about how to get better at transcribing/learning bass parts by ear?

start by just playing the root notes of each chord of the progression. I actually think it's easier to figure the harmonic structure of a song with a bass than a guitar.

Drill your scales up and down the neck. Major, minor, and pentatonics. Put in the hours and you'll find it instinctively.

Not really. EADG stings are on both. Learn scales on those strings and you can do both. If you master the 5 pentatonic positions you'll be able to pick up any guitar or bass and jam with almost any rock/pop song in any key.

They're the same thing. Just 5 pentatonic shapes and this whole pattern can be moved up and down the neck to line up with different root notes for their scale. This chart is A minor and C major at the same time. If you wanted to make it A major you'd slide it down 3 frets so that the orange shape starts its low note on A.

Compare:

After you learn this learn the "CAGED system." It lines up the barre chords with these shapes.

Yeah. If you're going to get it go ahead and get that whole bundle with the Beato Book. Most of it will be over your head right now but it's got all you'll ever need for a long time. It covers everything that's been mentioned ITT
