in a vague sense, i almost agree with part of what you said.

i do like the bass to have a noticeable presence alot of the time.
i also feel that there are less good bass players than good guitarists. that's kind of a proxy thing though, because everybody and their brother plays guitar. when i used to have a band i played rythim guitar for the first 2 sets, and bass for the last 2. that's because by that time the bass player was drunk enough to start screwin up, and the other guitarist was better than me. i wasn't much of a bassist but i could stay in key and keep time.
