Does anyone know where I can get a list of bass lines and box patterns that will be useful for harmonica players?

In one of David Barrett's books - I think it is the very first in the Harmonica Master Class Series - he tabs out 12bar blues lines that are totally appropriate for what you're looking for.

In fact, I have the book at home. It comes with a CD. There have to be over a dozen progressions included. I am sure you can still order it from Harmonica Master Class, but I would be willing to part with mine.

Thanks for the reply Mike,I ordered David Barrett's 'Harmonica Accompaniment Playing' the other day, I think it covers bass lines.

I have been looking at some bass websites hoping to find a list of bass line written out in scale degrees, but I haven't found a good site yet.

I am looking for examples written out similar to what I have below

1 8 b7 5

1 5 b7 8

1 3 5 b7
