MEAT REDUCTION??? Not on your life! I would elect for meat

But seriously, I would anticipate the bass fitting in the mix the same as it would with the mixes I've done in the past.
Shawn isn't on this recording yet. He's actually a guitarist, and this song came to be from a jam we were kicking around a good 15 years ago. He started out on a riff, and I followed along. That particular jam is now the verse section of the song, and I wrote everything else around it. Shawn (aka Yogi) currently lives in Seattle. I sent a rough mix to him including samples of his original guitar work, and he's going to record the new parts that he comes up with and send them back to me. He says he's thinking of some vocal parts, too, so it will be interesting to see how this all comes together.
Here's the original recording that started it off:
