I'm braindead and shouldn't be writting a response because of it but... no. I think all that I'm arguing though is the fact that you're telling ME what is and what shouldn't be and I just don't appreciate it coming as an absolute. The capped 'me' just represents my ego. I've put my time in on bass and sure you've got your opinion and I mine and blah blah blah. Bass. Depending on the style it either sucks or it doesn't. Sure a bass can play some pretty independent stuff given the circustances. OK.

In a lot of circumstances it's supposed to be boring though, like a tuba in my opinion. Filling in the bottom end just because it has to be filled.

Just like sometimes you want a straight half-time 1,3 beat to emphasize the riff and your goddamn drummer won't do it because he's always soloing but it doesn't fit the tune. He won't get it until I play it to a fruityloops drum line I made up and he GETS the bigger picture. Composers and useless filler instruments.
