The hardest part of playing bass is knowing what not to play. Bass players are tempted to over play with today’s emphasis on slapping and other solo styles of bass playing.
A good bass part is often simple. It backs up the lead vocal and stays out of its way. It locks with the drummer but does not rush the tempo of the song.
This is hard to do well.
