There is also a band called Drums and Tuba and the Tuba player does all the bass lines.
Horns work well for that in some cases  |

I remember when Howard Johnson put together the all tuba horn section for Taj Mahal's band that was cool. Howard played bass too, but mainly known for Jazz tuba and bari sax. He loved the low end. |
