"Love Your Life"- Average White Band
...it's on Soul Searching & a Live version is on Person To Person.
When I saw them do this tune live back in '76...I was thinking "What in the ...."?
http://www.amazon.com/Soul-Searching...2986044&sr=8-1
Bass player_1 is playing a funky groove
Bass player_2 is playing thru a Mu-Tron envelope filter

"Walk On The Wild Side" has two distinct bass parts-
Herbie Flowers doin' both?

There was also a local band here in Cincinnati called Milkmine that pulled this off as well.

And then there are those bands that won't have a bassist.

Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)" has Bob Babbit's double-tracked bass. I've read an interview with Allen Slutsky where he says "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart" by the Supremes has two basses on it. There's an instrumental version of it on Standing In The Shadows Of Motown (Disc 2).
