I think the most important factor is how it sounds with the rest of the band. If it works, then keep it. For me, reggae and ska bass is very woolly, with very little attack (treble-wise) but a LOT of low end. I realize the following vid is dub not ska, but it's just to give you an idea of what I'm trying to describe. Good luck with the band.
Guitars: Epiphone SG-400 Custom; Epiphone Firebird V; 1996 Gibson LP Standard; Avion 4; Yamaha FG-301B acoustic
FX: TS-808; Big Muff (Triangle Version); Red Llama; Green Ringer Octave Up (Clones); Maxon Phaser; Maxon Compressor; Tremulus Lune Tremolo; Line 6 POD II
Amp: (Somewhere in another country) Hiwatt 100W head, Marshall 4x12 cab

Pie! Long time no hear - or maybe I've been on the wrong side of the forum... Anyway, good to hear from you, and I wanted to say that I love the last quote in your signature. Good luck with the new band!
