In a modern rock group they are Lead, Rhythm, and Bass, the Bass guitar is part of the rhythm section together with the rhythm (2d) guitar and of course the drums. the basic lay-out of a modern rock quartet is Lead Guitar, rhythm Guitar, Bass, and Drums. Lead and rhythm can even be identical instruments playing, of course, different parts, the Bass has four strings, Lead and Rhythm would have six each unless twelve-string Guitars were used. this basic band layout dates from early Beatles times. there were a very few rock trios, with One Guitar, one Bass, and a drummer such as the Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, for experts only!
