To me, there is no such thing as "being in the background, out of notice, holding down the bottom end and not hearing you on the record". I'll give ya as much fucking bottom end as ya need!!! I believe strongly in the power of the "Lead Bass Player". The final indignity is playing like Mark Hoppus and getting so over-dubbed you can't even hear you ("That's right! I'm talking about you 1990s-2000s alt rock/pop punk/emo/post-grunge bands!!!!!"). If you can't hear yourself on a song and if you can't wow people with coming up with a pretty cool melodic bassline that's not straight eighth notes of a single note, then you really suck as a bass player.
Playing a Precision Bass with a pick is the ultimate rock/pop cliche.
Out of all the bands and artists in the world today, none of them pisses me off more than that little faggot Justin Bieber.
