Sharing bass duties with someone who's quite good

[2004gdavi]

I've got a reunion gig coming up with a band I used to play with many moons ago. Rehearsals have just started and I've included a picture of the band in action. Unfortunately I'm not playing in this shot but waiting my turn to have a go.
Watching the other guy at work was a truly inspiring experience. Seeing him in action close up gave me many new ideas about how to improve my own playing.
Now looking forward to the gig itself.
Cheers Paul if you get to read this.
I hope you other bc'ers out there get the chance to watch quality players at such close quarters.
