I know, that's why I added the "oddly enough" at the end of the comment.

I was always into different music outside of my core hard rock/metal tastes, whether it was classical or jazz or whatever, and we were always adding funk, reggae, and blues (anything you could toke to really
) elements to the stuff we were writing.
Over the years, I developed a certain somewhat percussive, hybrid rhythm/lead style on the guitar and never did really develop my lead "chops" because I'm just not dexterous enough. Ironically, I've found that this Neil Young-style hackjob guitar style translates really well to the bass.
