Easy. You actually only need one string and 11 frets. Change my mind.
I was going to say "Power Chords!"...
But no, you're right : 1 string & 2 bass players

Double stops.
Two octave arpeggios.
Ostinato parts.
Need more?
The dreaded slap and tickle.
That one player, one string, one note Dadaist minimalism might get you on the cover of some artsy-fartsy magazine, but it won't get you a gig where I come from.
Carry on.

Sorry, all the above are wants, not needs.

Frets???? We could only DREAM of frets.
Seriously. How many bass lines extend over an octave?

To each his own.................................but,
I respectfully disagree.
Utilizing your standards, I need no bass at all!
I could simply Korean throat sing the parts and call myself a bass player.
If you want to be a bass player, you need to play bass (for an audience).
If you want an audience, you need a gig.
If you want a gig, you need to play whats on the score.
If you want to play whats written, you need more than one string and eleven frets!
It's only logical!!Really, if you're the Chef, you get to create the recipe. If you're a cook, you have to follow the recipe.
See how many Chefs you can name versus how many cooks you know.. It's this way in all walks of life.

Nope. Because you always end at a want not a need.

Hi,
In commemoration of my latest stinker of a gig, I give you a meme entitled "Bass Player Problems".
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff
