Main question: what is better, a very good bass 5 player and a mediocre bass 2 player, or a mediocre bass 5 player and a very good bass 2 player.

For background I am a rising senior and section leader. I played bass 1 and 3 my freshman outdoor and indoor season, and bass 2 all of sophomore and junior outdoor and indoor.

I wanna finish off my high school season with a fun drum like bass 5.

Hopefully a director or tech would be able to answer this: what do you look for in a bassline?
