Why would anyone want to be the bass player in an indie band?

I've no idea how anyone who plays an instrument could not understand the sheer fun of writing music, an actual song, that doesn't revolve around how technical anyone in the band is.

Writing a song, from scratch, including lyrics, then putting it all together with everyone helping with their own part, is an amazing part of music. It far surpasses any cover work or 'doing it for the money'.

Technical proficiency does not make you a good musician.

There are many many great bass players in 'indie'....

Indie was originally artists releasing on independent label music , so bands not signed to a big label...

The Independent Charts which is where the term "Indie" originally comes from was always based on the status of the distributors being used and not the labels themselves. Many of the so-called independent labels were subsidiaries of major labels but used independent distribution rather than using their parent label's distribution network, and therefore their records were eligible for the independent chart.
