Reddit mentions of Hal Leonard Blues Bass Method Tab + Accès audio (Hal Leonard Bass Method)

yes - definitely know your blues riffs, forms, and boxes, as those guys all used the blues as a source - throw in some scale and chromatic walkups (as the drummer does a fill anticipating the change and then you both play the target clean - so nice), along with sometimes hitting the 5th of the target (if it's going to an A on beat one, throw in an 'E' on end end of the beat four in anticipation)

Can't get too out there though, it's the blues not jazz, gotta be terse and let those low notes shake the room:)

Ed Friedland's blues book has a ton of all this:

Intros, outros, scales, common lines, rhythms, substitutions, etc

Hi,

For a thorough blues bassline guide I like Ed Friedland's Blues Bass. It comes with a CD and Ed plays the guitar parts too. He builds up multiple styles using basslines and the price is not bad:
