You forgot to mention that one guitar player in Blink 182 really hogs the frequency spectrum for one guitar player, doesn't he?
No, if we're knocking bass players for not cutting through a mix I don't see why it should matter what kind of mix they're up against, since, from what I've read, the opinion is that all bass players are supposed to cut through the mix, am I right? So that puts Metallica's bass players, just for one example, in the same boat as Mark Hoppus.
But why are you so quick to want to differentiate them? Because I have the sneaking suspicion some people here are just trying to justify an anti-Blink 182 sentiment with all this business. It's ok to dislike Blink 182, lord knows I do. But the great thing about musical taste is we don't have to justify it with all this business about not cutting through a mix. That's hogwash anyways because there's plenty of bass players, maybe the bass players from Metallica for example, that are going to be held in higher regard in some people's musical tastes, even though they still don't "cut through the mix".
