What could improve a bass line?

[PachkaNG]

So usually when I write bass lines, I go for the ol' Bootsy Funk Box. Maybe Ill go up an octave or two. Add a couple slaps and pops and boom. Thats all well and good, but I wanna create some real Jaco Pastorious or Sakurai Tetsuo type shiz, and make em super funky. Any tips?

Shed Jaco and Sakurai's vocabulary and integrate that into your playing. It's kinda that simple, just takes time and dedication.
