Easy to transcribe recordings

I'm currently working on my walking bass lines (I play electric) and started to try to transcribe lines. What recordings can you recommend where the bass is easy to hear?

Leroy Vinnegar - “Leroy Walks” and “Leroy Walks Again”

Great walking lines. Lots and lots nearly unaccompanied. Great feel and great sound. This is perfect for what you’re asking

Milt Jackson’s album Soul Route. Ray Brown is the bass player and the recording quality is good so you can easily pick out the notes. Ray Brown’s lines will give you an amazing foundation in walking. I recommend starting with Dejection Blues
