Members Goominim Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 Depends on the song. Black Keys don't have a bass player and they do just fine. You can always do more string skipping and rhythm stuff instead of the usual lead type rhthm. There are plenty of bassplayers out there too...

Members Destructobot Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 Get an eq to boost the heck out of bass and low mids, it'll make your guitar sound HUGE. Sounds like crap with a bass player but you don't need to worry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Johnny Metro Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 Get an OC-2 or something comparable to really fatten any riffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orangesix Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 im doing a project right now w/ no bass. its just me on guitar and 2 drummers. i run stereo through an Ampeg SVT450 bass head with 6x10 ampeg classic bass cab and also a crappy, old 65 watt tube amp. i use jazz strings 56-13, that also helps add to the fat tone. also, alot of fuzz helps. i also use different tunings. i like it, i lends room for alot of experimentation from the guitarists point of view.
