Thinking like a Bass Player

The shows today are on regardless of rain.

Sea Witch is a big show tonight leaving my house around 5:15PM, and we always need a big band. Unfortunately we only have one bass player again like most of the summer.

We own 4 basses, yet the new idea is that we only need one bass player. Between 3 bass players we get the job of one. Yet 3 bass players want to go to Trinidad even though 1 is enough per show? That sounds very expensive. Logic says that we should only take one bass player to Trinidad. Three bass players who each come to about 40 percent of the shows can't get a free ride to Tobago. So how you choose 1 out of 3. I guess we take the person who attends the most shows. What do you think? I'll let you know how it adds up. This goes for guitar as well.
