II V I Comp with Guitar Bassline
Here is a sample II V I comp with guitar bassline. Main priniciple behind adding a walking bass lines on guitar is. "The Bass line is the most important component". Repeat that last sentence.
So if you know you scales on the low strings and lots of chord voicings that you can grab while walking a bass line you have it. Easier said then done.
First develop a good base line. There are several great books available on walking bass lines. Ones that I use all the time with bass students are:

Here two books that I personally use with my bass and guitar students and highly recommend. There are great books.
Walking Jazz Lines for Bass by Jay Hungerford
(From Amazon.com)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The bass has been called "the most important instrument in any
band." The bass player must create interesting lines under the chord changes, keep
the "time flow" or "pulse" steady, and keep the form of the song together. This book
is designed to help bassists create beginning to advanced walking patterns
(smooth-sounding lines) that can be used in jazz, blues, R&B, gospel, Latin and
country music. By explaining the basics of intervals, chords, and scales the author
builds a framework for understanding bass line patterns. Then the book presents one-
and two-measure patterns that can be used in playing the blues, rhythm changes, the
II-V-I progression, and 20 popular jazz standards. The book is written in standard
notation with chord symbols. The CD gives you the opportunity to play with one of the
finest rhythm sections around. It is in stereo, with the bass and drums on the left
and piano and drums on the right. Since the examples in the book are presented both
with sample bass lines and as chord progressions only, you can either follow along
with the bass or practice your own lines with the CD as your accompaniment.
