2263.0. "Doors Bass player???" by GIDDAY::KNIGHTP (do it in dubly) Tue Jul 16 1991 03:12

    Can't find anything related so Mr Moderator feel free to move this.
    
    	I went to see the DOORS movie and noticed for the first time
    that they didn't have a BASS player.  But the keyboard player
    had a second keyboard on top of another which he played with his
    left hand. Is that the bass or did they draft someone in for 
    recording sessions and go live without a bass????
     P.S. I was a weird film good but weird.
    
    P.K.

	When that movie came out, MTV did a special with interviews of the remaining members. No bass player ... all left hand keyboards like you mentioned. Worked for them I guess .... Scary
2263.2	Rhodes Piano Bass	RGB::ROST	My Baby Bass is my baby	`Tue Jul 16 1991 11:30`	14
	Ray Manzarek used a Rhodes Piano Bass. This was a 37 key unit that looked like a Fender Rhodes piano that had been sawed in half. The voicing was different than the regular 73-key piano, so as to be more bass-like. Manzarek used it on the first album as well live. Doug Lubahn, who was in the bands Clear Light and Dreams, played bass on all other Morrison-era Doors studio sessions with two exceptions. Guitarist Lonnie Mack played the bass on "Roadhouse Blues" and Elvis Presley's bass man Jerry Scheff played on the "LA Woman" album. I'm not sure if a bassist was used on the two post-Morrison albums, as I've never owned them. Brian
2263.3	Harvey Brooks ?	SUBSYS::GODIN	My other preamp is a Tri-Axis.	`Mon Aug 16 1993 11:16`	5
	RE -1: Didn't Harvey Brooks (Electric Flag, etc.) play bass on "The Soft Parade" album ??? Paul
2263.4	The monk bought lunch	NWACES::HICKERNELL	Often in error, never in doubt.	`Mon Aug 16 1993 15:00`	4
	I think Harvey was one of (three?) bassists listed on the Soft Parade album. Doug Lubahn was another, and I thought there was a third, also. Dave
