Sample them from old funk/soul records.

to get the general stab "shape", use a sharp envelope on a lowpass filter so it drops from high to low. Tweak the envelope to get the desired shape of said stab and voilà
Also works if you stick an envelope on the volume or use a ramp LFO instead of an envelope

Sounds nice on square waves.
