I need some help with developing good blues bass lines. I know some stuff but I'd like some more information. Anyone have any good advice?

List of things that it is good to know for walking and soloing over a simple twelve bar blues:

* Major Pentatonic Scales
* Minor Pentatonic Scales
* The Mixolydian Scale
* Guide Tones for Dominant 7th chords
* The Blues Scale
* Walking
* Swing/Shuffle Feels

Knowing all that is a really solid grounding for blues playing.

Learn different types of chords - in particular, major and minor (of course), dominant 7th, major 7th, minor 7th, minor 7b5, etc, and how they apply to the songs that you're playing.
