    ya, Im gonna start a psychadelic band.
    I plan on having....
    1 keyboarder
    2 bassists
    1 guitarist
    1 drummer
    1 steel drum
    maybe some didge players...
    I dont know if ill go through with my plan, but hell... if i do its gonna kick ass.
    I wanna make it sound like nothing ever heard before... something so original people will shit their pants, but be so into the music they wont even realise it.

    if you are gonna have 2 basses, you're gonna have to orchestrate the shit out of your songs, because 2 basses being played low sounds really muddy. good luck though sounds like an awesome idea. actually, i think that band Godspeed! You black emperor has 2 bassists.

    Two basses will never work, unless it's like one baritone guitar and one ordinary bass.
    Two guitars isn't a very good idea either since it kind of limits the rest of the band from playing whatever they'd like to play.

    I'm talking out of experience.

    The only one I'd say there wouldn't be a problem with is two guitars... that depends on the guitarists (their willingness to get along).

    sounds cool, you should post some mp3s or something. I know I'd be very interested to hear something like that. Good luck

    on the 2 guitarist thing that seems to be comeing up it is insanely workable. im not exactly sure how much you guys know about guitar but generally it can and does work. you have a rythmn guitar and a lead guitar. the rythmn one creates the base for the guitar sounds and the lead plays over it with complex stuff. the bass guitar creates the deeper sounds and further rythmn. but anyway i believe he just wanted one guitarist

    now on the 2 basses i can totally see it workin almost like a dualing banjos kinda thing but not nearly so fast or high pitched

    you've not had enough experience then - if the low end is turned down and the treble quite high, as long as they're not playing very low, it sounds quite pure

    i say go for it, though the didge players wouldn't quite work - a singer who every now and then uses it could work, but there's not a whole lot of different ways it can be used, so the player would get bored and not have the passion there...

    and don't focus on being different, unless you have extreme musical talent, you're not likely to pull that off

    naw, psychedelic bands can't cope with two guitars - when everyone is doing there own thing, jamming live and whatever, two guitars is too much. one of every instrument is the only way it really works

    So you're saying that the Dead and the Allman Brothers don't/didn't work? Could have fooled me... Instrumentation isn't the issue, communication between musicians is the issue. You could have 5 drummers and a sax player and be absolutely ripping; if everyone is on the same creative page and is meshing well, it doesn't matter what instruments you've got in the mix...

    Good point about not focusing on being different though; don't play to "be different", just play to have fun, fulfill your creative instincts and amuse your muse...

    Thanks for all the help guys, so far I havent really accomplished much. Its been hard to find people that are into psychadelic music and also posses some musical talent. I'm considering maybe just getting together a ska band (I think it would be easier to recruit people) and then just throwing in some psychadelic influence.
