Silenced Fred Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 what's your set up? ideally, i'd like to get it down to a 4 piece because my one friend who plays guitar is way better at keys, and he's pretty good at guitar, but he smokes on the keys, but he refuses to play it, but i'm trying to get him to split time between the two. right now its me on vocals and guitar (i'm probably going to be doing more acoustic with the band, and leave the electric work to my friend so it has some mix) guitar keys bass drum
Tman Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Me - guitar and vocals Bass Drums lead vocals -bass player's wife So essentially a 3 piece band with a lead singer.
Shnate McDuanus Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Punk band with three of my friends: two guitars, bass, drums and a vocalist. The vocalist is also the rhythm guitarist. I'm rhythm/lead guitar. Bass guy is backing vocals. Drummer is drummer. Avant-garde/post-metal side project is me and another guy. I'm on guitar and dirty vocals, he's on synths and drum programming and clean vocals. Death/doom project (what I consider my main project) is all me. I'm doing guitar, bass, vocals and drum programming. The industrial rock project is on hold while my other bandmate learns how to write songs.

Lead Vocalist/ Percussion Keyboards/ Lead Vocals Guitar/ Backing Vocals (me) Bass/ Backing Vocals Drum/ Backing Vocals Sax/ Percussion very strong vocals, tons of harmonies.

Dub-T-123 Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 As of lately it's me on fuzzed out bass and my friend on drums both of us do some "vocals".

charlie brown Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 For us, it's (normally) 2 guitars, bass, drums...with myself and the other guitarist doing most of the singing (to varying degrees of competence...(Smile)). But, recently, our drummer informed us, that he can no longer play, due to family problems, and his extended work commitments. So...there is no "band," right at the moment. CB
djroge1 Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Guitar/background vocals - me (although I'll sing any Alice Cooper) Guitar/background vocals - other Bass/vocals Drums/vocals Vocals - main singer
Dub-T-123 Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 if you don't cover at least 1 death from above song, i'm gonna hunt you down the only cover we play is "The Nile Song" by Pink Floyd but I play guitar for that cause we usually only play it when were playing with someone of bass.
LarryUK Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 My last band was me on guitar. Robert Plant on vocals. Jason Bonham on drums and my mate Bill on bass. Then I woke up! Damn.
James Allen Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 We have a pretty big lineup for our band, Grace Asylum. We put on a series of big rock musicals every Christmas.

Will post video and pics then
Versatile Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Few people nowadays consider the option of keyboard bass and/or pedal bass Led Zep had that in their routine when J P Jones moved to keyboard.... V
saturn Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 I play in a few different bands, so it's hard to keep it all straight. The configurations vary, and each band even might play with slightly different line-ups from gig to gig. Each band has at least one common band member with the other bands. One of my bands has a guy who's an amazing all around musician. He's a great keyboard player, but also does guitar and sometimes even sax. Another band has a great guitar player who also sometimes plays a little keyboard. One band even does acoustic sets. Sometimes it's just the signer/rhythm guitarist and me playing leads/fills. Sometimes we have a percussionist playing congas or small electronic drum kit.

V I would totally play pedal bass while I played guitar if I could find one that I could afford. The only one that I know of is the Moog Taurus and those are expensive. Do you know of an affordable pedal bass keyboard?

The Moog is expensive as it is totally self contained...about £1600 A Roland PK-5 is a pedal board MIDI trigger for about £385...needs a MIDI keyboard or sound module with bass sounds.... V
