Bands with Two Bass Players


el borracho

Recommended Posts

Back when I used to write tunes in a band we occasionally supported a Southampton band called Toupe. 

Grant Sharkey and another on basses (can't remember the other guy's name, Karl I think) + a drummer. A little bit like Primus, a little like Zappa and great fun to watch.

I can remember supporting them at the Joiners and a musician mate came to see us, he was amazed a band consisted entirely of rhythm section 😱.

Killing Joke's bass player "youth" aka Martin Glover, briefly formed a band called "Brilliant". They appeared on TOTP with 2 bass players back in 1982, I think
Also, I have seen a couple of bands with both a DB player and bass guitar (not often, and I can't recall who - but I have seen it)

Later on at a hastily called band meeting at the local play-park and after an awkward 15 minutes going on the swings and down the slide workout saying anything I eventually told him he was out of the band. 

This is how all band sackings should be done!

Nobody mentioned SMV ? 3 bass players named Stanley CLARKE, Marcus MILLER and Victor WOOTEN, here live :

 

And certainly not my project called Mildje with 3 basses (1 fretless soloing, 1 destorted rhythm bass, 1 grooving the same patern in 4,5/4) and 1 drummer, only 1 track called Stuyvenbergh during 45 minutes and played live only once for a jazz event... Arythmical and deconstruted piece of music that took 6 months of rehearsal to be in ... place. Great memories there.
