Two basses on "Sugar" by Maroon 5?

[Ortus]

When I have played this song in wedding bands, typically the guitar player plays the chords, but it sounds to me like the chords are actually played on a bass doing double stops, with another bass doing the regular low-pitched bass line. No difference either way, other than I love it when a song has two basses going at once. Comments?

I believe that might be a keyboard bass line as the 2nd part.

I have thought this too, sometimes I'll do those higher chords in the verses, then switch to low notes in the choruses. I think Richland123 is correct about there being synth bass in there.

I read an interview with Maroon 5's bassist saying that indeed there is a synth part in there along with his part...

P.S. Somehow, I still can't except that subdominant Gb/F# in Bar1 of Verse instead of the Tonic Db/C# with the melody.
