bass player's equiptment

We're lucky to have former Doors road manager Vince Treanor here to answer fan questions and share some of his memories. Ask Vince about anything related to the equipment The Doors used, stage set-ups, specific concerts, the band after Jim's death, and working on the Oliver Stone movie.

The Amplifier was, If I remember correctly, a Fender twin Reverb. I might be wrong on that one.

The guitar was owned by Doung Luban and to be completely honest I do not have the smallest idea of what it was. My guess - a Fender. Possibly a Gibson.

Sorry I cannot be more positive or accurate on that. Since it belonged to someone else those details were of little importance to me - More to Paul Rothschild and Bruse who had to deal with the tone and all.

Doug was NOT the only bass player on the albums. He was the performer of choice by Paul Rothschild. He wanted the attack of the string instrument rather than the sound from the Piano Bass.

ha, nice pic Ed. Brings back some memories. That was from the West Palm, FL D21c show. Myself and 'other voices' (from LL) were sitting with RK in his trailer chatting, then someone came in and told Robby that Doug was in Ray's trailer and wanted to say hello. About 5 minutes later we saw Doug leaving and decided to introduce ourselves. Nice guy.
