we want a bass player for bass, not a keyboard player faking it

Yeah, look how bad the Doors sucked.

Exactly. I hate The Doors.

Ive always wanted to play in a bass less situation myself. I think the right keys could cover bass and bring a whole other element into play.

Not saying its something your band should do, but I always thought it would be interesting for different sonic textures.

um hello, what keys can do what I do? hahaha
each instrument brings its own element to the table.
no other instrument can replace another.
listen to a keyboard imitating folk instruments for God's sake.

Im sorry Air but there used to be a guy on Beale Street who played one of those strap on keyboards. From a distance and with your eyes closed he sounded just like a bass.

Our bassist has a recording setup in his garage, pro tools and all that. We set up a midi map of notes and then put in the bass tones on top of that once. You wouldnt know the difference between that and a live bassist. I found this out cause I heard what he had done and said man thats great bass tone. He started laughing and showed me how he built it. It was a completely manufactured bass line. No real bass in it.

Dont close your mind to doing things outside the box.
