some books like the real book and the worlds greatest fake book occasionally will have transcribed bass lines. Usually, tho, just chords and melodies.

You might try to find a bass method book, like The Evolving Bassist by Rufus Reid or any of a number of classical (double bass) method books – IIRC, one of the main bass method transcription books is the BillĂ© etude book
