Yeah, Om has been mentioned a few times already.

Bands with bass guitars doing all the job. Or at least doing all the guitars job.
I dropped an OM post earlier in the thread. Fantastic live band. Emil's a killer fit, too. Their reworking of Bihima's Theme (start with what's basically the middle section on the album--the just bass part) was nuts.
Back on topic.
I'm assuming live band hip-hop acts don't count?

Baritone guitars count but only if they are down tuned to bass territory.
Thanks for contributing, never heard of neither of these.
