I don't disagree with THIS. I DID disagree with what you initially said. That's all. That should be okay. Right?

Thanks. There was no malice in my disagreeing with what you first said. I thought I had explained why earlier.
Its all good. Sometimes its hard to convey things conversationally via text. No worries here though.
Wow, two people on the internet disagree on something and then come together to discuss like adults and part respectfully. Is that even allowed?!?! 
Kidding aside, nicely done, guys.

Alright, everybody just high five, jokingly shove each other around a little bit, and we'll order beers and maybe a couple plates of wings. It's almost time for some football, anyway.Ok stop! I feel a group hug coming on!

Ahhh, it's arrived. Cheers.
Just starting in on the beer around noon on Sunday. What could go wrong with that?Ok stop! I feel a group hug coming on!
I like my heavy amps and cabinets. I would never sell what I like so much.
Having said that, I'm fortunate to have help and don't have to lift them on my own.

I saw the Entwistle band in a hundred seater club in Worc Ma during the early 2000's a few years before he passed away, it was advertised that they would be using their full stadium gear and they all had full stacks and he had stuff up to the ceiling to the point of blowing the breakers 4 times during the show, it sounded great, was not too loud and i was about 10 ft in front of him (as was every other bass player that lived in central Ma). I saw them the next night in a club in RI and they had half the stuff (maybe due to the breakers?) and it just did not sound as good, rock music should be played loud like the old records used to say.

While my preference is for lightweight bass gear, when it comes to beers I come down squarely on the “heavier is better” side!As long as they arent Class D beers.....
Agree with you totally Jimmie M.
2112's original post is off the pace
What about the feelings and perceptions of the other musicians in the band ?
They matter most of all, so if you cannot please them you will not be in the band for long.
Have you never auditioned for band ?
Bass is about balance - offsetting the emptiness of the mids and highs produced by the other instruments playing melodies
The rythm section of bass and drums is as critical to the sound of the band as any of the other instruments - regardless of how many, but the drums have a limited range of percussive sounds so it is left to the bass to provide the sustained low range harmonies with the melodies and chord rythm backing such as guitar and keyboard/piano and to provide a full sound overall
So TONE is important. If the bass player cannot provide an appropriate bass TONE for the type of music being played then the band will not be as effective or successful as it could if the bass gave its best
To prove the point listen to a trio which includes a bass - TONE is vital for a good result
Check this out -
Check out the bass solo 2.42 in
At the other end of the scale few orchestras need more than one bass - that's how effective they are
How many bands use more than one bass ? For most one is enough.
A bass guitar is not standard guitar with more fat strings - it is a BASS !!
