So the best solution I can think of might be to politely ask the second bassist if he could play guitar and then we'll find some way to split the guitar parts between us. Are there any other, better solutions that don't involve making either bassist hate me more than necessary?
The drummer and I are pretty much set in stone. He'll be playing drums, I'll play Lead Guitar on some songs, Rhythm Guitar on some songs and Piano/Keyboards on some songs (unless we end up with a single guitar. Then it's just me on guitar and piano...). But how to handle the two bassists who are both equally interested in starting a band and who both want to play bass just seems impossible to figure out... Any advice on how to deal with this situation? Anyone been here before?
