Did The Doors have a bass player? Who played bass on their albums?
If you think the Doors didn’t have a bass player, you’d be only half right. While the band never recruited a full-time bassist, it called upon some of Los Angeles’s finest studio musicians to create their albums finishing with Elvis Presley bassist Jerry Scheff who brought a Memphis vibe to the band’s final offering, L.A. Woman. Here are the guts they used and the albums that they appear on: The Doors – Larry Knechtal Strange Days – Doug Lubahn Waiting for the Sun – Doug Lubahn, Kerry Magness & Leroy Vinegar. The Soft Parade – Harvey Brooks Morrison Hotel – Ray Neapolitan & Lonnie Mack L.A. Woman – Jerry Scheff Other Voices – Jack Conrad, Ray Neopolitan & Willie Ruff Full Circle – Chris Ethridge, Jack Conrad, Charles Larkey & Leland Sklar.
