No one in the world can type anything that will help you nearly as much as if you just get some English Beat, The Specials, and Bob Marley records and listen/play along.

If you are talking ska/punk then arpeggios are what most of the bass lines consist of, just learn a lot of major, minor, M7, m7, etc. arpeggios and go to town.
