"The Doors were unusual among rock groups because they did not use a bass guitar whilst playing live. Instead, Manzarek played the bass lines with his left hand on the newly invented Fender Rhodes bass keyboard, an offshoot of the well-known Fender Rhodes electric piano, and other keyboards with his right hand. However, the group occasionally used bass players such as Jerry Scheff, Doug Lubahn, Harvey Brooks, Kerry Magness, Lonnie Mack, Leroy Vinegar, and Ray Neapolitan on their albums."

there is no bass guitarist ray manzarek had a special attachment added to his keyboard to simulate bass. They did audition for a bass player but they felt they sounded too much like the Rolling Stones so they never picked one up.
