I know the PA system (for the singers) Guitars, and the drums. Are there any others? And do you have to have a bassist to make it sound right?
Answer
There are a few bands that have been successful without a bass, The Doors, The Black Keys, The White Stripes, etc., but yes it is very essential to have a bass player in most all situations. Especially if you are playing covers. Other than the instruments of course you will need a PA system and generally a small light show, 8 cans up front (4 per side) is pretty much the minimum. If you will have a sound man you'll also need a snake to connect mics and instruments to the mixing board. If you mix from stage this is not necessary. Also remember that you need a vehicle large enough to transport this equipment. Don't forget little things like mic stands and some area rugs to cover the cables so you don't trip over them on stage. Anyone that sings will need a vocal monitor.
