This has probably been done before, but how many good bands are out there that have nobody on bass? (this excludes White Stripes because they are not good.) The only one that comes to my mind is Casanatra, but I bet there are others out there, especially with organs or Charlie Hunter guitars in them. Anybody? |

There's also some metal bands without bass (I only saw them on TV though, can't remember the names). The guitars are so heavy, you don't need bass. I often wonder what Meshuggah's bassist does. |
