Doddy Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 [quote name='Huwberry' post='760641' date='Mar 1 2010, 12:42 PM']Pino Palladino with John Mayer, doing some groovy shiz on top of the bassline: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B462-3AhYYk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B462-3AhYYk[/url][/quote] 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirky Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 The Fall have had 2 bassists from time to time. And a big +1 to the Dirtbombs - best band ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc62 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottomEndian Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Rothko were originally three bassists. They've more recently trimmed down to two, plus keys and drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerboy Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 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).

retroman Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Probably because the mix is so muddy. Endearing, but it's still muddy.) Thanks for the trivia! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
