Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey. The thing I like about them is that they now how to interact with eachother so well. I think it also helps that their basses(VW fretted/SB fretless)are different, as well as their playing styles. |

| | | | I've seen Stanley Clarke with a backup bassplayer.
As well, there are a number of performances with three or four bass players. Spinal Tap with "Big Bottom", BX3 (Stu Hamm, Billy Sheehan, and Jeff Berlin), The Day Bass Players Took Over the World (Steve Bailey, Bill Dickens, Vic Wooten, Oteil Burbridge), and Bass Day '06 (Vic Wooten, Stanley Clarke, and Marcus Miller on one stage. That's after Bx3 had their run about the stage)
All wicked cool stuff. |

im not into bands with more than one bass player..it is sorta lame..especially when you want to try to play a song that they are playing!
(and kira roessler happens to be one of my idols, her work with black flag was great, she is an amazing lady) |

Local Aussie band Pre-Shrunk consisted of two bass players and a drummer - and they rocked supreme. They've split up now (though they re-formed for a quick show at the recent Warwick Bass Day in Melbourne).

I know they were friends, Mark Sandman and Prez's 3 stringist.
