Default Re: Tracking Guitar or Bass after drums?

Hi all,

I mainly record guitar-driven hard rock.

Personally, I like to track drums first, rhythm guitar second, then bass, then, finally, guitar leads and vocals. My friend (and every studio in town) like to track bass right after drums, in order to "get the rhythm section tight". I say no, track whomever has a better feel for the drummer, be it bass or guitar (for some reason, it tends to be the guitarist most of the time). What do you all think?

My reasoning is that the more "sloppy" player's mistakes will be more easily exposed and corrected, or the more "sloppy" player will be driven to play better. In either case, the end product, I believe, is made tighter.

Thoughts?
