Door's bass man?

Hey I think the doors are one of the most underated/overshadowed jam bands in music history.

I'm just trying to find out if the Doors had a full time bass man or they had different bass players thoughout their studio carreer and shows? I really like the bass to all of their tracks and am trying to find out if the bass player(s) belonged to any other bands or side projects.

 

THey didn't have a bass player, ever. Just a keyboarder who did the bass parts.

 

they used different session men, their names are on the albums.

the doors werent a jam band.

 

sure they were a jam band. prime example: light my fire. they just had some eccentric poet with a shitty voice sing through their jams.

the three other guys were by all means a jam band. they made a connection as they jammed in search of the universal vibe.

 

but altogether, they werent a jam band. i like how you feel about jim though

 

But in concert Manzarick played bass keyboards with his left hand and organ with his right........ preety fuckin talented, and sometimes he would even sing....

 

sadly

 

manzarek did some of the bass lines in the studio.

Personally, I see the doors as more of a blues band than a jam band. Good tunes either way!
