Average White Band - two basses

[songofthewind]

Talking Heads, two basses, Stop Making Sense, Take Me To The River. Cosmic.

I don't know about these guys. But a situation where plays 2 basses could be only if one plays only low groove and the other improvises high and then they switch, drums also could be and piano or rythm guitar. Let's say Jaco and Gary Willis. A song for 10 minutes.

I was watching the video of XTC playing "King for a day" on David Letterman (three guitars and two basses)  which got me thinking?

 

Not unusual for Letterman back in the day when the guest band had a bass player...

Spinal Tap. How many basses?

 

Dumpstaphunk, 2 basses  and funky as flip. . . .

Ooh, a zombie thread, love it.  🧟‍♂️ 

 

Two bass players on one song? John Mayer’s I Don’t Trust Myself has Pino and Willie Weeks on the album version and there’s Pino and De La on a live version.
