3. The only reason a bass was built to have 4 strings instead of 6 is because it's clearly not supposed to be as dominant of an instrument as the guitar and drums!!!Obviously, for that reason, bassists are there to simply support the rhythm of the drums and follow the main notes/sound of the guitar!!!

In conclusion, the bass is pretty much found to be the least important instrument in a band, with only a few highly experienced bass geniuses proving people wrong, ya see?

Cheers to artists like Flea, Geddy Lee and David Ellefson though!!!

and being a bassist before someone tries arguing with him, he's right.
