DFA1979 were absolutely brutal. Devastated when they broke up that I had never seen them live.

Ditto. Such an awesome sound. When I first heard them I didn't realise it was just the two of them. So much sound! :)

Oh, and a great call for Om in this thread - both drums + Rickenbacker outfits.

Has miller, Wooten, Sheehan etc etc released any solo bass pieces or 2 piece band esq stuff?

Victor Wooten's first solo album 'A Show of Hands' is all solo bass with occasional vocals.
Billy Sheehan did the solo piece 'NV43345'
Marcus Miller does a nice solo version of 'I'll be There' on his new album 'Renaissance'.
Les Claypool did a version of 'The Awakening' on his solo album 'Highball with the Devil'

For solo bass,the check out Michael Manring and Steve Lawson.
Steve Bailey also did a solo bass album-'So Low...Solo'. Bailey and Wooten also did the
'Bass Extremes' albums-two basses and drums.
Ray Brown,John Clayton and Christian McBride did the 'Super Bass' albums.
Edgar Mayer and Rob Wasserman have also done a solo bass albums.

[quote name='Steve Lawson' timestamp='1346929097' post='1794876'] Clatter are well worth a listen - bass/drums duo, [/quote]

Interesting sound from Clatter in particular. Big contrasts in sound.

Yeah, Amy has (I think) three separate amps running at anyone one time - clean, distorted and processed - that plus the 12 string bass (4 strings, doubled twice ala Doug Pinnick/Jeff Ament) gives her a MASSIVE range of sounds :)

On the live DVD that I've got ,'Blinded in Boonville',she uses a Rickenbacker and still sounds massive.
