two bass players in one band and somehow it never sounds crowded
Yeah. I'm generally rather lost as to the purpose when there's more than just one guitar and bass, but I guess it works.
Jah Wobble and Bill Laswell also did a couple albums together, and they're both bassists with a characteristic sound. But I'm guessing that they took turns there, one can even hear the difference between Wobble's more groovy approach and Laswell's more chilly one.
laswell going chilly while wobble keeps it moving sounds like the only way two bassists can share a record. adding that one to the list
