Verifiable fact - I've read a couple of accounts of Motown's mixdown process, how they went through a highly sophisticated (for the day) system of EQ, compression, et al. while listening to the cuts over both studio monitors and transistor-radio-type speakers, until they found a mix that sounded good with both...

There seems to be a lot more freedom in playing bass( very much like a singer) in group setting than guitar, piano, ect

Yes.
Lots of bassists use picks. Paul anc Carol play bass like it's a bass, the framework that the song hangs on, like they're framing a house. They do it brilliantly. |

Ever see the movie Once? There's a scene where they hop in a car and literally take a mix for a test drive. It's how the pros do it. |

Bass is the glue between harmony (guitar/keys) and rhythm (drums) which often comes with significant responsibility. But I've played gigs (and my band for years) where on bass I got to adopt multiple personalities, sometimes comping chords, sometimes soloing, sometimes not playing at all for a few bars. And in a jazz context, you do tend to have more freedom than a lot of rocks gigs BUT it also depends on the gig and the context. A lot of guitar/keys in jazz ensembles will omit the root from them comping, expecting that the bass will carry that. So you have to be mindful and not play the 3rd or the 7th on the one too many times, lest you get funny looks :-D
