ever just not fit in???

[stretch80]

Think of it this way: It's GREAT you're not wasting your time playing with a band that doesn't fit you. You could be spending your time with them, and miss the chance to hook up with musicians that you are "meant" to play with.

Trust your feelings -- you shouldn't be playing with them. And don't worry about your playing -- just from what you've said in your post, it's clear you know what you're doing.

Tell us when you get into the next better band.

There's always going to be a better Bass Player than you, and me.

You play it how you hear it and feel it. Trying to fill someone else's shoes is only going to take away your joy of playing and make you feel inadequate. Not so. I'm sure you're a fine bass player or you would have already gotten the boot.

Hang in there and gain your experience, then somewhere down the road they'll be someone trying to fill your shoes......
