My cover band lost our bassist a few weeks ago (very unfortunate; his dad has cancer and he moved back across the US to be with him).
We decided to do a rehearsal as a 3-piece to keep things going, and we decided to pair down the songs in our set list to just the stuff that we could do more acoustically. I have a piezo system on one of my Ibanez guitars, so I run that to the P.A. plus have my amp, using clean channel to double some stuff and using a much lighter "dirty" channel when I need some chunk.
We played and thought we sounded pretty good as a 3-piece, and we are hoping to add a couple more acoustic-type rock songs so we can play out somewhere.
I was just curious if anyone had tried this, and if you had any success with it? We all really want to play out... tired of losing bass players to personal tragedies.
