Bass Rock Bands

[Bio-Bassist]

I've recently been finding quite a few rock bands that are mainly bass oriented, without guitars bassically, like the bands i've found recently are Freebass, which consisted of 3 bassists, that being Hooky, Andy Rourke and Mani Mounfield, and I just discovered BB Blackdog, a steampunk rock, psychedelia, blues, group, that has 2 bassists, one lead, with some effects and the rhythm with some tight lines.
But i'm mainly looking for more groups like this, more rock oriented, bass based bands, and to spread the word about the ones listed.

Please, more than 1 bass in a group is too crowded and is not something people want to listen to.

Ever listened to Morphine? Bass, Drums and Baritone Sax plus vocals:

Speaking of Morphine, there was a band in Milwaukee back in the... musta been the 80's... called the Oil Tasters. Same line up, bass, sax, drums. Loved these guys. Very bass-forward.

Checkit:
