Doors tribute
You probably didn't even need to show up.
Seems to me a Doors tribute bassist would use the seventh and ninth frets quite a bit.
If I had a dollar for every time someone's made that joke about our Doors band, I'd have earned more than the $200 I made on Saturday night :-)Actually, if you delve into the Doors catalog, much of the album tracks have bass guitar - including many of the best known songs. And I've never met a keyboard player who can play the bass line on "LA Woman" LOL
Did they ever use a bass player live? I know that Jack Conrad came in late (was it on Full Circle?)
I'm guess the band leader didn't see me playing above the 5th fret, because he still paid me anyway.
FWIW - I was in a band that did "Touch Me". I was told that "it hovers around an A". Nothing could be further from the truth. You won't get any opposition from me when you say that playing bass on some Doors songs take a little work.
