Good advice. In a band setting, listen to everyone. Everything everyone does should support whoever is singing/playing the melody at the time. The drummer should set the rhythm and the bassist should be an appendage to the drummer. Additionally, like all the other instruments, support the melody, fill in the holes if you want, do whatever you can to contrast or compliment the melody, but never-ever do anything to compete with it.
