Well, since I never perform solo bass (hell, I almost never play bass 
solos in bands even), I was looking at the bass loop cd as a 
challenge to make me come up with a solo loop piece for the disc. But 
now with the "plays well with others" option, it'd be more in my 
"comfort zone" to produce a collaborative piece. So, I guess I have 
to decide how much I want to be challenged. Not a bad dilemma to 
face :-)
