Question: Playing With a Rock Band?
Greetings PA/CBA standard bass players! I was wondering if anyone who currently plays with a rock band would care to share how you handle left voicing (if at all) when playing with full band. I know that many folks only play right hand lines when a bass/guitar/drums are present but I was curious to know if anyone uses different registrations in a rock setting to act as part of the rhythm section for comping/pads/etc.
This is a case where I guess accordion more or less occupies the same kind of sonic space that organ might, so I’m thinking of it more along those lines but any insights, hints and pro tips would be greatly appreciated. Also, anyone who plays live with bands who has tips vis a vis rig and signal chain eq would be awesome as well.
All of my instruments have internal mics and I have a Roland as well so getting into the board isn’t an issue, but what you do once you are there is still a work in progress! Thanks in advance for the collective wisdom of the group.
