Aaarrrggh ! Not true. Wrong bass makes me want to scream.
My way to test bass players is to have them listen to
"A remark you made" by Weather Report, and request them
to play the right bass to Zawinul's haunting synth line
starting at 00:52. Very few of them find the right notes.
In that case, yes, I guess (don't remember ever hearing that song). Not
sure that would be so apparent in a hard driving rock song where you're
not so much hearing the bass as feeling it ...
