Love this tune. Robert Smith used a Bass VI a lot too
while Gallup was on 4.

Molotov: Two bass players, Mexican Rap Band, Cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody-boom! (some bad language).

The Outsiders back in 1966 was the first band I saw with two bass players. Our band actually did a few tunes with two basses back in those days.

I've seen Dumpstaphunk play live with two basses and a sousaphone. Ultimate Bass Induced Booty Floppage.

Ned's Atomic Dustbin used to do some cool stuff with 2 bassists.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor have two bassists, one of which switches to double bass for some songs.

Somehow I just don't believe that - they don't seem real, just somebody's fantasy..? Whereas I know Delta 5 were a real,gigging band with real people!

 

[bassdude51]

Ancient history...............Jack Casidy joined up on stage with Noel Redding and both played bass with Jimi Hendrix. The live recording sounds terrible with 2 basses! BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

 

[NickLomango]

Sonic Youth........ Recently on stage they have Kim Gordon and another guy (MIke O`Rouke? Don´t exactly remember his name now)

You are referring to Mark Ibold from Pavement

Let's not forget the great Cop Shoot Cop (now defunct).
Flying Luttenbachers had a line up which featured 2 bass players.
Headbutt

And I played in a band with two bassists (me and another bassplayer); it was fun.

No they are real. They did 3 albums and broke up. One of the bass players was from another popular band ZONE. There are alot of female musicians in Japan. Check out SCANDAL....they rock!

Ronald Shannon Jackson's Decoding Society had a pair of bassists in many of its incarnations...this isn't the best example but it was the first I could find on youtube:



No idea who those two kids on duelling Steinbergers are.

Victor wins with 4 bassists in his current touring line up. In all fairness, one or two of them could be playing guitar, cello, upright, trombone, trumpet, or keys on any given song. How these guys divide up sonic space is beyond me but you can every single note of every player. Must be $100,000 in Foderas on stage which are rounded out nicely with a bunch of Warwicks.



Vic
Ant
Steve Bailey
Dave Welsch

Dave's on trumpet for this one. My Life. The lyrics crack me up.

The Talking Heads toured for a while back in the '80's with Buster Jonnes joining Tina Weymouth on bass.
Also, having Adrian Belew sitting in on guitars always helps your show.

Can't believe no LCD Soundsystem in either of these threads.

I saw Stanley Clarke live a few years back and he also had another bass player with him. Of course Stanley's playing is a bit brighter and guitar-like.

Also, while not two bass players together on stage at one time but I've always been confused by the Mermen. It seems sometime, there is a woman playing and other times there is a guy playing
