In response to the original topic:
In my experience, I had to learn to love the bass. When I was a kid, there would be times where I really didn't want to play the bass. I wanted to play drums. I guess you could describe it like a relationship you might have with another person. It doesn't have to be love/hate, but there are ups and downs. But 15 years down the road, I'm happy now for the time I was forced to put in when I was younger. Dedication is a cornerstone to the foundation of any musician's ability. Sometimes you might not want to play, and it helps to have someone or some inspiration around to help keep you interested.
