there are actually a few bands that if bass was taken away, they would sound the same. the only reason they have it is for the deep vibration sound, which just makes them louder. some bands appreciate a deeper meaning of the bass function. it can be made to be a second lead guitar in a way. i enjoy the lack of chords, it leaves more time for more complicated, diverse, and worthwhile basslines.
