If you can record some drones you can play over them as you work on scales. You can play one, two, or three octaave scales over the drone. Major, minor, modal- it doesn't matter. So you drone a D and then play the d minor scale. You can work certain intervals or areas of the bass that are problematic, such as the "transition position".

I find this approach very helpful. If you have any more questions let me know.
