Funky Blues in "E". This Blues bassline uses an E Dorian mode. The "A" chord is still a dominant Seventh chord, so you can use the A Mixolydian mode there, but the "B" chord is another minor chord - the Natural Minor scale or a B Minor pentatonic scale (with a few Blues notes and passing tones) works well on the B Minor chord..
