i'm in a band and we're looking for a bassist. right now our two choices are a guy named vince who's a really good bassist but not reliable at all. the other choice is a guy named greg who's really reliable but not half as good of a player as vince. what do you think is a better trait for someone in a band, talent or reliability?

Hey,

I just read your request.
Talent is a huge factor when considering anyone for any position.
But if they can't be depended on thier talent is only a liability.
The one who has only half the talent can be molded and encouraged and grown to fit like a glove the rest of the band.
Even more important than immediate talent is the heart and the desire to learn, evolve and grow into the needs of the band.


Until...

thank you very much for your insight, your perspective makes sense and i will take it into consideration
