Ever seen anything of the like? I hadn't until I saw the band "Broken Social Scene" on Jimmy Fallon this past week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6cyIQOgjJA
It sounds pretty cool actually! Know any other bands that do this? |

EDIT: then there's this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN42uzNFVmQ

| | | | Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphumk has 2 bassists - they were on Treme recently. Willie Nelson used to have 2 basses, as did James Brown, |

| | | | Theres a band with the guys from joy division, the smiths, and the stone roses who is made up of 3 basses. I havn't heard their tracks, but I love all of their basslines from their respectable bands. |

A little number called BattleScar might draw some credit. 2 basses there including a fairly unknown bass player and singer you might recognize.

Dirk | Max Webster's "Universal Juveniles" (with Battlescar) is a great album and one of my favorites. I would have loved to have seen them when they toured with Rush, but never got the chance. |

Dirk | Wow! Thank you for bringing this to my attention...always great to hear a nice little collab like that
I had heard of Max Webster before, but today was my first time hearing that song. I love it

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: New York City | | Thanks all for your kind replies! I guess the thought of more than one bass isn't too crazy, eh? People might even label it as "unconventional" , but I think it makes as much sense as rhythm/lead guitar. And these are all great examples, thanks guys |
