Bro, I know what you are sayin I dont like to play along with the guitar melody very much, Because a good song will have it's very own Bass line, Keep the song tight and together. I really think the key to being a great Bassist is to stay as tight as possible with the drummer and add some flair here and there. Thats how I do it. HaHa If it sounds out of time it's the Guitarist fault. TIME IS TIME!!! ;)
