    I really like that you and Davie can play each other's licks and riffs, but when it comes to creating them, you two are totally different. Your style sounds (at least to me) more akin to metal (Primus, for example), while Davie's sounds funkier. But I insist, I can't choose one of you guys, if I had to choose a bassist for my band, I'd rather have two bassists than leaving one of you out.
