Another way which I devised to play outside blues, Always in Bb. This has its own logic as you can see.

-First four bars in E natural altered, this melodic minor harmony includes all the notes of the dominant Bb7 chord:
E
F
G
Ab
Bb
C
D
E
-2 bars A natural altered, this melodic minor harmony includes all the notes of the dominant Eb7 chord:
A
Bb
C
Db
Eb
F
G
A

-2 bars E altered as above
-4 bars B natural altered, this melodic minor harmony includes all the notes of the dominant F7 chord:

Bnatural
C
D
Eb
F
G
A
Bnatural

The bass should keep playing the usual Bb changes, or maybe trying soem adventurous variations, but unless the Group is very tight, he-she  should keep those changes since I navigate better across my outside changes hearing the sound of the bass changing to the traditional chords.
