All started from a Scaler Cmin  
i  
i  
Then I added a series of chords using Suggest and my ear

i  
i  
Then I recorded the series in Section C

Then I did a direct D&D in the EZkeys field for chords, then I duplicated the series 4 times and applied different & suitable funky patterns in a way that produced cool brass riffs

i  
The first brass is this free but nice VST

i  
The second brass is the XPand!2 Baritone Sax

i  
i  
I then did another direct D&D for EZbass and EZdrummer 3 using the EZKeys series of chords, and here is the result (after some Izotope’s Mix & Max)

So, in my system and with my plugins, using the funky MIDI by Toontrack to create basslines is the easiest way

Have fun with Funky!
