I remember these goofy debates. Like why are you trying to make rules. Do you ask a guitar player do you play only chords or only riffs (ok they might ask that too), or ask a drummer one stick or two.

I made peace when I learned the beastie boys played instruments sometimes and Adam Yauch played bass. You can play an upright, you can play a jazz bass hiked up to your chin, you can plug in a distortion pedal and crank it to oblivion, you can rap. It's your canvas, paint it however you want.
