I can't think of many bands with 2 bass players,in fact only one comes to mind and that's Marmalade.The name mightn't ring a bell with most people especially those born post 60s.They just had one major hit with Reflections Of My Life which was a beautiful song that's lead break showed the proficiency of the lead guitarist Jr. Campbell,many thought that they used a backwards taping technique to achieve the effect but he did it solely with a volume pedal and a delicate touch with his pick.Having 2 bass players gave the Scottish group a lot of bottom but it was never overpowering. Originally called Dean Ford and The Gaylords they switched their name and had 3 lesser known hits:Cousin Norman,the beautiful I Have Seen The Rain and a pretty good cover of The Beatles' Ob-La-Dee-Ob-La-Da. Can anyone come up with more 2 bass player bands?

Our school's jazz band had two bass players for a while.

And of course there is this classic spinal tap clip, 3 bass players:
