Looking for bass tracks

Hi, first post here. I am a guitarist looking for bass tracks I can freely use for jamming with live drummer. Would prefer mp3 files with just bass lines or perhaps synth parts or keys. Looking for tracks in rhythm and blues, jazz, or anything for that matter.
 
I use an app called Moises that allows you to separate any audio file (mp3, wav...) into a number of 'isolated tracks'. You can then use that to make your own backing tracks from any song you've got. The bass track on its own can sound a bit glitchy at times, but when mixed with live drums and guitar you won't notice. You can also remove guitars quite easily, or export only drums or...

Moises is what I use, but there's a few other tools out there that will do the same.
 
So, let me understand this correctly…you just joined a bass player’s forum in order to inqure about ways that you can eliminate using or including an actual bass player in your jams. Allrighty then.

So I’d much rather find a bass player who would be willing to come out and jam with us. Know anyone from Highland Park or North shore Chicago?

Uh, wouldn’t that be your task, something that you would have to put some effort into? Peruse the local Craigs, Facebook Musicians, Bandcamp, and the like? Or the ancient ritual of checking the bulletin board at whatever music instrument retail you have left? Go down to CME and ask around? Go to open mics/jams?
Does Space do anything like that? I have a friend in Evanston, but she doesn’t play anything.
