If you want to break out of the r-5-8 pattern, it helps to know the theory behind walking bass lines.
He's not really rock, but if you want groovy and busy, Jerry Jemmott is the man.

The thing is, you don't need to study crazy theory or develop intricate techniques. The notes are all ready there on your bass! Next time you're jamming, try playing some of them. They probably won't sound very good, or at least, they won't sound better than a root or a 5th in a given place.
I think you'll find after studying a lot of the above bassists that:
-they have bands that allow them to have 'advanced' bass formations
-More busyness comes from tight and different rhythms than from actual other pitches.

And it is not really "rockin" - but man, does it ROCK and GROOVE!!!
Chuck Rainey's "Peg" (Steely Dan) and "Rock Steady" (Aretha) both rock and groove and are 'busy' but in such a subtle way you hardly notice they're as busy as they are - that is until you try to learn and play them... whoa...

Also, check out Nathan Watts playing for Stevie Wonder. Once again, there's much more happening with that cat than meets the eye. |

Tasty ones. He digs in a lot more on the Allman Brothers recordings that he is on. The Aquarium Rescue Unit stuff was sort of tune-by-tune.
One of my favorite players. |
