It was a together at the beginning and then we took turns soloing and backing (like a duel) and ended together for a local battle of the talents, hosted by the school. We both played our Warwick Corvette Standards.  So matching basses too, except mine is a red 4-string and his is a blue 5-string.
We won 3rd place. 1st and 2nd place went to two drummers that did drum solos. So that was great. And just to make it even better, I was in a band that was in the battle too. Guess what, the band and me and my friend's bass duel tied for 3rd. So there was a tie breaker battle. I was like, I'm gonna win and loose either way. lol It was pretty cool. I felt good about myself. I think it was the performance of the band (I had a wireless and I was running around going crazy. Metal band.) and the fact that most people didn't think that you could do that much with a bass (or two) .

I also like Dos (Mike Watt/Kira Roessler)

There was also around that time a group called Cop Shoot Cop. Real avante gard/art/noise. One bassist was a punk guy and the other loved King Crimson and Yes. I saw one of their videos in between sets at a concert like 15 years ago. I might like them more now.
Does Meshelle N'DegeOcello's touring band count?

The song was decent but the second bassplayer didn't play anything but the same 3 chords over and over. I was really hoping to see some combined bass line groove and masterful wanking. Sadness  . |

I have been doing some dual bass work with Brian Ritchie and the Violent Femmes. That has been a dream come true!

For the most part I'm playing a Warwick Masterman 5 tuned with a high C. I dig the limitations offered with two basses and we often strive to have bass playing parts that don't sound like bass.
Cheers

|  | Registered User | | | | | I also dig Balancing Act. I like the way both basses interact. I`ve been listening to one of their players (Cameron Mc) for sometime now and let me tell you he`s a helluva player.
