Hi,
 
Btw ... most interesting thing with 2 bass players would be Holger Czukay with Jah Wobble.
 
Fun too!
 
In general, too much "rock music" is too stuck up on itself to have fun and experiment and do weird and different things ... it tells you that everyone thinks the bass can only do one thing ... when it can do a whole many more and modern music is not intelligent enough to experiment and have fun doing/trying completely different things ... or ... more than likely ... the commercial state of things kinda intimidates a lot of experimentation ... unless you learn to look.
 
But there are a lot of bass (Keyboard-SH101) and bass player combinations and Riuichi Sakamoto mixes the 2 a lot in his fine solo albums in the 90's.
Although Czukay and Wobble are both bassists, I don't think they played bass together when they collaborated; Wobble freed Czukay up to play French horn, guitar, organ and whatever else took his fancy (On The Way To The Peak Of Normal features 2 Bass Shuffle, but I'm pretty sure that Czukay played both).
 
Apparently there is/was a band called Freebass featuring the bassists from New Order, Stone Roses and another famous Manchester band, but I don't know if they ever recorded anything.
 
And don't forget the multiple basses use by Spinal Tap on the immortal 'Big Bottom'!

My neo-psychedelic post-industral post-lo-fi music.
