Double Bass

Tags: , , , ,

I’d like to take a moment to recognize some bands who employ not one, but TWO bass players…

Enjoy.

Girls Against Boys – She’s Lost Control (Joy Division Cover)

Ned’s Atomic Dustbin – Grey Cell Green

Godspeed You! Black Emperor – 09-15-00 (Live)

Slug
(Sadly, there are no videos available for this band… However, they released 3 good post-rock albums in the mid-nineties, which are EXTREMELY hard to come by.)

Honorable Mention: The Cure – Lullaby

Robert Smith and co have been known to incorporate the 6-string bass along with the instrumentation. This song is a good demonstration.
