“Standing in the Shadows of Motown” book is good for the Jamerson lines-some of them are very challenging ( in particular tunes like: Home Cooking, How Long Has This Evening Train Been Gone )

Classical cello repertoire can be great- the single best cello book might be this one by Dotzauer-most fo these studies fit right on the bass- note- you should attempt them an octave higher than written if you want to be playing in the cello register...
113 Studies for Cello amzn.to/3FdlZhO
And of course, Bach’s famous Book of 6 Cello Suites:
amzn.to/3FdnyfG
Walking bass
Also ANY book with transcriptions of 1/4 note walking bass lines is going to be a good resource :
Ron Carter’s Building Jazz bass Lines for example amzn.to/3XM8MUj
-These next three are also good for jazz vocabulary and concepts.
I HIGHLY recommend and personally use these next three:
Charlie Parker for Bass Clef (Intermediate/Advanced) amzn.to/3XHcs9W
Chord Studies for Electric Bass amzn.to/3gFphBb
Bob Mintzer Jazz & Funk Etudes for Bass Clef amzn.to/3EGBMEc
And.. For Rhythmic Studies ( everything is written for just snare -I.e. one pitch)
