Looking for a good shuffle style.

Does anybody have suggestions for a good shuffle style that does NOT have walking bass lines?
I'm looking for something that would work well with a Farewell Party type of song, and also something that sounds good sped up a little too.
I have tried many of the different Country styles but none seem to fit without bringing along a bunch of extra garbage with it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Have you looked at the shuffle styles sold by Bob?
Basic Piano, guitar, bass and drum. Several styles.
They are good shuffles and I believe include a 2-4 straight bass.

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the reply, but I have purchased the styles from b0b, and, while they are excellent, they all have walking bass lines.

Just try these:
C~HANKS.STY
C~HNKSR1.STY
C~JCASH.STY
Maybe get the piano from OZARK

I don't think these are shuffles.

It is possible to turn off other instruments, or you know that. ie turn off extra garbage. Also, you can reprogram the bass line if you wish.

The C~HANK style is pretty close! I guess I never tried that one for some reason. Thanks!

Ken's got the answer, just mute the bass line.

Dave, I use C Girl for Farewell Party with finger picked bass, acoustic piano and violins (49). Try it, you'll like it.
