I know they did not have a "bass player" int he band, and guess that most of the bass was handled with organ foot pedals for live performance,,, but the studio stuff sounds like it has a bass. |

On the other songs just as Break On through, the End, Crystal Ship, End of the Night, Alabama Song... it was all Fender Rhodes Piano Bass only. Also, Ray never used bass pedals with the vox or Gibson organs...it was always the Fender Rhodes Piano Bass.
On the Strange Days album, it was all Doug Lubahn on bass guitar ecept for When The Music's Over....that song was all fender Rhodes piano bass only.
The rest of the albums is all bass guitar. |
