I think that when it comes to bluegrass, the bass is like the kick drum and the all the other instruments are like parts of a "virtual" drum set. Guitar, mandolin, banjo, even fiddle can double as percussion instruments. By the way: you win the coveted "First Comment on Blog Here Now Grand Prize"... which is... yet to be determined. Glad you liked it, John.

I just downloaded some of the tracks from the album. I really am getting to like the bluegrass instrumentation when it is pushed beyond the traditional chord progressions, although I still am not used to hearing bass without drums. Thanks for the tip.
