They try to put fills in where they don't belong and over complicate even the best simplistic bass lines. They don't realize that what you don't play is as important as what you do play. A dramatic pause, a staccato walk up or playing 4:4 when the drums are going 5:4 can make things very cool. In another words they have the mechanics, but seldom have the "feel". (then again, some bass players lack this ability too)

I've done things of the sort where I would play a clave-style line and then keep moving the "one" back another beat while the drums kept the same time. It's not easy to keep up, but it's pretty fun to do in a jam context. Keeps everyone on their toes.

I can't really show you on our original stuff, but a good example is the bridge in Godsmack - Bad Religion. Not saying it's a great song, but it's where I got the feel and idea for some of my original stuff.

well, say you play 4/4 and your drummer plays 5/4 at 100bpm , you have 4 pulse when he has 5.. how can you make it work at the 2nd bar when you hit 1 and hes still on '5'?
the only thing that i know is called rhythmic displacement when you move your rhythm pattern (1) back/forward another beat like floyd said.

and thats the kinda shit don von vliet used to get his band to do. all play in different time signatures, but have all the parts carefully constructed so as to all come back in on one note and then diverge again, only to come together again, and again.
