Bass line functions and top range soloing would have diverging intrumental priorities.
I still remember a TV feature two decades, or more, ago, where a diminutive, and not exactly young, Puerto Rican or black lady from New York played the bass line on a huge bell front tuba. Oh, did that lady make the band swing, even if she had to breathe twice a bar. Her name sadly has left my memory.
