    You do understand the Presidents never had a bass player. If you want to do this right you'll have to play guitbass and basitar.

    P.S. I'm a bass player and would have loved to have done this but I'm abroad for the year.

    Ok not to sound like a complete PUSA nerd here... The last album was played with basitars and guitbass's. Freaked Out and Small was the album played with regular guitars (and was their worst imo). Playing guitbass and basitar isn't hard. You just take half the strings off the guitar and tune the remaining strings differently. It's not like it's actually a different instrument. Whichever one is supposed to the bass is a regular guitar strung with 2 bass strings.

    If you`re looking for an originals band you might be interested in us, here`s our ad:
