A year(ish) later, the band re-formed to include me, but not the lead guitar player. We have a new lead guitar player who is an awesome fit for everyone, and we're having a great time.
Unless the bass player is truly wrecking the music, let him handle his part (the way he chooses to approach it - music is art, after all), and you handle yours...

Honestly, NOTHING gets under my skin more than people telling me how or what to play.
