And 4 drummers, 4 keyboardists, & 8 guitarists (1 doubling guitar & keys).  That's even more players than have been in Yes!

I just saw them last month at Red Rocks; at one point they had a percussion jam going with FIVE guys on drums, etc.

BTW, Oteil played a new bass, a Sukop 6-string semi-hollow. He let me play it a little bit before the show; it's awesome.

I just downloaded an ABB show from Wolgang's Vault; on bass is Bruce Waibel, so that makes at least 6 bassists they've had.

I don't think Waibel was on any of the ABB albums, though he was on some Greg Allman Band albums and probably did some shows with ABB.
