Recordings with 2 Basses

Back in the 90s there was a quite popular English Post-Punk (I guess you'd call them) band called "Ned's Atomic Dustbin".
They had two bassplayers.

He did this on Zenyatta Mondatta too. I hear it on Driven To Tears and a few others. Hard to pick up, you have to listen for slight fluffs and timings. Seems to be a fretless mixed with a fretted.

Sting often double tracked root notes with his upright ("Brian"). Every Breath You Take is one example.

For Rush heads, I think Geddy experimented with multiple bass parts on the Vapor Trails album.

Several tracks from The White Album.

Of course, none of those tracks are "songs" since, by definition, songs are sung.

But in the jazz idiom, throw Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz in there. Again, not songs, but good stuff nonetheless. Scott LaFaro and Charlie Haden. You could do much worse that that pair of mothers.

I read something; a reputable source as I recall, that while called "fuzz bass," this was actually Paul playing his Casino through a fuzz box and replicating his bass line.

Hugo Largo

I think all of their stuff was recorded with two basses.
