To be a great bassist you not only have to make a tight rhythm section, you gotta do something to stand apart from the lead instruments, or be able to match wits with them. But not just be barely audible in the background playing the same note over and over.

*cough*Cliff Williams*cough*
Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd make up one of the the best rhythm sections in rock music! Without going into dreary muzo ramblings about the way the Young brothers arrange their respective parts, if Cliff played anything other than the way he does, it wouldn't sound anywhere near as good. This happened when the "technically superior" Chris Slade was on the drums before Rudd returned. His busy style battled against the rhythm guitar instead of complementing it!
