It sounds like you already prefer one so what's the problem? Sometimes you have to be decisive for a band to succeed. Good luck, Steve

Cool, thanks. You make a very good point, actually. At the moment, I'm the only one who knows about both bassists. The drummer only knows about Joe, and both Joe and Bob know about the drummer but not eachother. I believe I should have been able to figure this out myself, but sometimes, it just helps to hear it from others (or in this case, read it). I think my preference has been made pretty clear, so I'll just go with him, and hope things work out between the three of us.

Thanks, man :)
