flipper had two people play bass but never at the same time, bruce loose and will shatter would switch between vocals and bass.

Sonic Youth with Ibold on the RR tour. Doesn't really count though.

monkey boy: two bass players, one drummer, i believe, check out a song called 'planet paul pope'

brassy: not sure about this one, i remember them vaguely..never really liked them

bass extremes: three bassists, all with diff tunings and stuff..pretty progressive

fingersmoran: one bassist and a drummer, but the bass player uses a looper all the time

Something like that. But my idea would have it so the guitar would concentrate on the rhythm, leaving the full concentration on the bass. I was thinking one bass would be doing something lead guitarish, while the other would do some noisy chord things.

joy division ? ;-)

I once saw The Melvins with 2 bassists, it was when Joe Preston was subbing for Lorax while she was sick, and then she was coming back to the band, before dickweed canned her, and then they moved to LA and sucked out loud. the end.

that's the one I like. Dianogah

two bassists and a drummer. great stuff. I fucking LOVE the song Spiral Bound

they have beautiful packaging on their 7" singles.

Has anyone mentioned Cop Shoot Cop yet?

Bleech?

Ned's Atomic Dustbin - God Fodder is GREAT

There was a Canadian slow-grind band during the powerviolence era called Seized who had three bassists.

There's a band currently from Vancouver called Modern Creatures who have a hi-bass and lo-bass and drums...catchy stuff, too: http://www.myspace.com/moderncreatures

thanks for the tip, does this band have a website or are they on some label's website ? i'm digging their stuff

Probably not, but I'm going to start a thread about them one of these days.

dos (duh!)

The cure uses two basses on the song Primary, and use a Fender 6 string bass a lot in conjunction with regular bass.

The Fall, current line up has 2 bass players

they are working on more songs to do a proper album, and i think that myspace page is their only website.

i've been wanting to interview them, will let you know what's up with them.

There's a wonderful and highly underrated band in Czech republic called GNU, which has 2 bass players in it and plays raw noise rock in the likes of Killdozer, Tar, Cop Shoot Cop etc.

check out their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/gnurock

They run also this very vivid HC/punk label called Silver Rocket there:
