Why not?

With a deep root in orchestral music, it makes perfect sense to utilize many of the devices used in classical music.

Have one bassist establish the roots/pedal tones/whatever structure you're going for, and use another one for melodic intervals.

This is what 12 years of lower brass playing will do to you.

Word to that. I'm trying to convince my friends to adopt the concept of two bass players in our future jam sessions, mostly because with my 6-string bass I have more versetility in leading the other instruments. A second bass can carry a simple groove that's based on the roots of the guitarwork... and we are playing metal/hardcore. They don't realize how awesome this could sound. :mad:

[The Mask]

I hope you have some mad clean sounding amps or it's gonna sound like poo :$

<font color=969696>Distorted bass is awesome.</font>

[The Mask]

it is, but two bass guitars avec 3 distorted guitars avec keyboard is liable to sound like shit, even if god himself were playing it.

[Kane Knight]

Melissa Ferrick isn't metal. :wtf:

[The Destroyer]

What? :wtf:

[Downunder]

What? :wtf:

He said:

Melissa Ferrick isn't metal.

Are you deaf??

[Kane Knight]

He said:

Melissa Ferrick isn't metal.

Are you deaf??
:lol:

Seriously, Melissa's someone with recurring sound issues.

She has, perhaps, the worst luck with her sound techs of anyone I've EVER known of.

And she's not metal. ;)

[The Mask]

Nah, I'm pretty sure it'd still sound awful unless you had surround sound or whatever.

In stereo, I get the feeling it would just sound awful, at least as far as metal goes. In other genres it could probably be pulled off.
