Definitely. I play keyboards in my church's
band, and for a long while
we didn't have a bassist. So I played bass using the keyboard, using one
of the keyboard's bass voices. The tone was good enough, you might think
it was a real bass player who was at the level of knowing the scales and
a bit of rhythm - but it wasn't anywhere like a real bassist. I love
playing with real bassists! :-)
The Doors used a keyboard bass in live performances. Ray Manzarek played
it, using a separate small 1-2 octave keyboard. It sounded fine to me,
but the Doors didn't do a lot of fancy bass playing.
true, but soullive do, and they have only keyboard bass (via a
pedalboard, actually).
