In a break up with a girlfriend, it's usual for someone to take your place. Best of all worlds is that there are no hard feelings and we all move on.
Recently, though, I saw a couple made up of my old girlfriend with a new dude.
They weren't bad by any measure, but the dude made Adam Clayton look like Clark Gable.
Compared to the grooves my girl and I used to make together, this new couple just felt soulless. I'm not bitter in anyway, because it was I who decided to leave the chick.
I talked to my ex and she admitted that the dude was a "rebound."

Well, I'd guess because it's bass-related and this is bass message board. Pretty much just post anything you want.
I think it's a bit subjective on the type of music played. Think of a band like KoRn, you wouldn't say their basslines are creative, or even much a bass part at all. But it's just about the sound it makes, it fits with the style like they want it to.
I feel you, I hate leaving bands and then when I'm gone the replacement makes material I worked hard on sound bad. Especially cause I dont typically write complicated grooves!
The only music-related things I ever regretted leaving behind were basslines that I created that became the hook of songs written by someone else.
That one creates some enduring wistfulness.

So what do you mean when you say he made Adam Clayton look like Jaco? Wouldn't that translate to: He made a decent bassist look like arguably the best bassist of all time? I don't get it.
I like John Rutsey's playing WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more than Pearts.
I got replaced by a really nice guy, who had been fan of the band for a while.
He learned all my strange bas lines and added his own touch to them as well as helped create new tunes in perfect line with the spirit of the band, although not quite as I would have done it.
I had a really good feeling about him, and have no hard feelings what so ever against him.
On the contrary I have complimented him several times for his great bass work.
The only thing I regret sometimes is breaking up with Menfolk in the first place.
Anyway, they are no more, unfortunately, so I guess there is no use regretting.
