Rothco did a Peel session as well as a session for Mixing It in Radio 3 and 
then another
for them recently with Roger Eno.  They are one of those bands who get 
togewther every so often

I know a band with two basses    Iron Oxide who are the band of Fall 
listmeister Jeff Curtis
normally have two and sometimes more.   Last public performance was two 
basses and a theremin!
http:www.iron-oxide.com/                         A noise band rather than 
ambient!
