You could get twice as much out of it and write some Walking lines and then read them.

Plus I don't know how much good it will do to improve your sight reading if all you are reading is straight quarter notes. Get one of the Charles Colin Rhythm Studies books

well its mainly for jazz band, and what i usually have to do is play walking bass lines... and i feel that when i write my own, im far too involved with to the point where i have them memorized... thats why i am looking something thats new to me, so that i have to play it by reading rather than memory


otherwise id be all for the composing my own lines suggestions

Are you in a jazz band at school? I'd imagine there is an entire library of charts that you are not already playing. Ask your band director if you can borrow some.

The're not free, but real inexpensive... Rob Gourlay has three books of transcribed bass lines only $14 each. They are all called Walking in the footsteps of... Paul Chambers, Sam Jones, or Doug Watkins.

Here's a link to check them out....
