If a song is bass driven , fine
If a song is guitar driven , fine makes no difference to me.

Listen to any New Order song , Peter Hook plays his bass like a guitar but it`s never intrusive or detrimental to the song.He doesn`t feel the need to demonstrate how great he is every few minutes, he also writes great songs too.

I wonder if him not showing off all the time is why nobody in here has mentioned him , hmmmm.
Why do you keep refering to it as showing off and ego driven, it bugs me. Some people talk about how a lot of music lacks talent but you're saying that these people need to dull themselves down? No. I'm all for it. Play your best. Impress me.
