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.

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).

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"

Class :rolleyes:

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!

Song Wake up opens on bass chords and later on the other bassist plays the "bass line"[/quote]
Didn't know that. (Probably because the mix is so muddy. Endearing, but it's still muddy.) Thanks for the trivia!
