There you go. The full bassline to "Blitzkrieg Bop" by the Ramones. It was made in the 70's and it isn't disco. But I guess it's not so funky either. It should preferrably be played on bass guitar, not synth or horns.
You gotta love this thread =)

Basically, the 70s chord is NOT a rock one: flatten stuff, diminish stuff, augment stuff, and add tensions. And then you get cool.
One final thing: great chord to use is the 7flat9, often known as the "Hendrix Chord". It's what's used on many of his tracks: it contains both the major and minor 3rds, and as such is great for key changes. I've illustrated it below in C.
That probably wasn't much help, but a few tips for you to look into. Funk comes easy if you've played jazz. And if you have any sense of rythmn.
