Just been learning this very groovy bassline today.  Now I have it, it's such a joy to play.

I've a special place in my head for the disco/soul sounds of the 80s, e.g. The Whispers, Shalamar etc. Here's a trio of massive faves I used to have on 12" before the great flood of my south London basement flat in 1997 mullered my entire vinyl collection. It was more than just these 12" though! Anyway here are the 7" versions..

 

When i was DJing in  the early eighties,if the floor was dead and you felt the need to liven things up a tad,You're the one for me by D Train never failed to hit the spot,one of the funkiest Jazz Funk records or all time,the others weren't to bad either i might add.

I vaguely remember this one from back in the day

That bass is just warm treacle poured in every orifice!

Been listening to Anderson Paak a bit, and various other new soul / funk stuff, and Silk Sonic are doing it for me today, all day long, yeah, yeah, yeah, standing on the shoulders of giants etc... but these guys are the new giants imho..... and well..  Bootsy Baaaaaby xx

 Niiiiice! That's hit the sweet spot.  MFSB link to Instant Funk, who were mainly session players for the likes of Lou Rawls, Evelyn Champagne King, O Jays...This was their big hit in the US.

 

Love this one of theirs too

It's off their eponymous album, which I've got on Charly rather than Salsoul. Well worth shelling out a few sovs for

[Barking Spiders]

The Fatback Band needs more love around here particularly for loads of Johnny Flippin's great basslines. Here's possibly my fave tune of their's although TBH there are many.  I never tire of this ever 👉

 

[Barking Spiders]

Here's an absolute dance floor stomper from War.  Contrary to received wisdom I love their more disco phase than their earlier latino, jazz funk fusion.

Some modern soul vibes.. found this guy on Band Camp "Joel Culpepper"  nice bass on this one and weird Tyler vibes for the video
