I forget his name right at this moment, but I read in the Guitar World special edition (the top 100 guitarists of all time) that the reason that the Doors didn't need a bassist is because the guitarist had flamenco experience, and could play the bass parts and the lead/rhythm parts at the same time on a regular guitar.

I'm not too sure if I fathom this. When I listen to Doors songs, I hear a definite bass part, and it sounds impossible at some points for one person to be playing both parts at the same time.

Does anyone know anything about this?
