And somehow I forgot one of my own favourites.... the mid-90s version of King Crimson, with Tony Levin and Trey Gunn:

On that clip it's Pino and Dave LaBruyere. The Album version of that track(off Continuum)
is Willie Weeks playing the bassline with Pino playing 10ths up the neck.

Local dudes. 2 really dirty tones, one does most of the low and the others more like er lead.

Interesting stuff, they played at the venue I was doing sound at on sat. TIGHT as hell!

+1 for them.

much, much more intersting than listening to afficionados having pissing competitions.

[Kirky]

The Fall have had 2 bassists from time to time. And a big +1 to the Dirtbombs - best band ever!

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

I used to be a fan of Cop Shoot Cop ,in the early 90's. They used to have a lot of 'alternative unconventional instruments'
like hoover attachments etc.

I'm going back absolutey aeons here; I remember seeing a vid of John Lennon backed by a band called Elephants Memory - two drummers and two bassists. (The same gig that featurd Yoko's "unique" rendition of Born In A Prison)

[velvetkevorkian]

[url="http://www.myspace.com/arnocorps"]Arnocorps[/url] used to- I think they're down to one now though.

Rothko were originally three bassists. They've more recently trimmed down to two, plus keys and drums.

The Cure with "Primary"-always liked that song

I used to have a two-bass band, Songs From The Shows. [url="http://www.myspace.com/songsfromtheshows"]http://www.myspace.com/songsfromtheshows[/url]

I still work with other bassplayers pretty often, as well as people who switch between guitar and bass (sometime we're two bass, sometimes one of each, sometimes two guitar).

And this is my girlfriend's two double bass band: [url="http://www.myspace.com/strawberryandcreammusic"]http://www.myspace.com/strawberryandcreammusic[/url]

Funny enough, I'm talking to a drummer at the moment about a drum and multi bass project

There's some quite entertaining stuff out there featuring Lemmy/Motorhead. Somewhere on YouTube there's an old clip from J Leno (probably spelt that wrong) with Motorhead running through an old Chuck Berry number, with the house band bassist locking down the low end, with Lemmy letting rip with some rhythm bass. There also some footage from "Don't Forget Your Toothbrush", with Lemmy, and the Jools Holland band ripping up "Ace Of Spades", and "Good Golly Miss Molly"

+1 on these guys as well.

The Arcade Fire

Song Wake up opens on bass chords and later on the other bassist plays the "bass line"

Early 80's band called lavolta lakota, saw them supporting new order.

[Musky]

Both Sloy and Treponem Pal had twin bass players, both bands doing post hardcore type stuff (much like Cop Shoot Cop and GvsB). I'm sure there were other bands about doing the same kind of stuff in the early nineties with two bassists, but I'm damned if I can think of them right now.

I was in a band with 3 bass players for a few years. :ph34r:

Yeah I remember reading an interview with Pino about that. What a session that must have been!

Didn't know that. (Probably because the mix is so muddy. Endearing, but it's still muddy.) Thanks for the trivia!
