I found myself studying JY shredding on those strats of his. Those coil
taps make 'em shriek! Now I see how he got the sick lead tone and
harmonic feedback on The Grand Illusion...

Did you notice that Ricky was playing 5 and 6 string basses when they were both out there?
That added some cool flavor to the bottom.
How many bands do you hear with multiple bass players?

I did notice that - by doing that you can split the frequencies up and not sound like mud. Chuck was playing a Fender and it looked like Ricky had a Rick at one point - those would complement each other nicely tone-wise.
Ned's Atomic Dustbin had two bass players and no guitarist. One of the many, many bands that I guy I work with had three bass players, a drummer and no guitarist....
