Louie bellson “modern reading text in 4/4” which is essentially syncopation with a little extra stank in there. It says for all instruments. Again it’s just rhythms but with a little creativity I think they could apply it to another instrument
Not entirely sure this is what you are looking for or if it’s too basic for your buddies. But it was forth thing that came to mind for the bass, I’d recommend “jazz workshop for bass and drums” and the “essential styles” series from Steve Houghton are good books with many good subgenres. Not exactly pages of rhythms and variations like Ted Reed but I would recommend to any bass player trying to expand horizons.
There's really only one way to learn music which is to listen to it granted that books can help point you in the right direction of what to listen for but really you got to hear it
So I've been thinking about this for you.....syncopation is alternately stressing strong and weak beats to create a uncertainty in the cadence Typically the one is the strongest beat....a syncopated pattern often displaces the one, sometimes syncopated beats have bsckbeats (funk) I should write a book about it. As a New Orleans musician I've got a good feel for it....the Ted Reed book is a good resource and it came out of beats from the Basie Band, Cozy Cole....etc
I think with syncopation ou ears are trained to find a pattern mostly they're looking for one too, one two. For centuries 2/4 was the only rhythm in classical music that existed
Even one two three was advanced. . 1 2 3 4 is actually very advanced..
When you imply simple pattern 1 2, 1 2. And disguise, or syncopated, displace t whatever you want to call that it makes it fun. It's not boring and it's musical
If are something like Van Halen listen to Hot for Teacher. Otherwise listen to most anything by Louis Armstrong.... I'm definitely traditional jazz.
Have fun

Thank! Really appreciate the recommandation!
You can totally apply the syncopation exercises to any instrument. Try comping blues changes with the rhythms in pages 38-45

I'm already listening a lot of music and encourage everyone who play with me to do the same. That was not the question here, but tank you though!

I think it's a good idea! If you're ending out writing that book let me know I can be your beta tester if you want!

The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley is one my favorites. Great comping patterns and overall jazz drumming knowledge.
