My friend sent me this great video of the Beach Boys recording the song good vibrations.
my question refers to section 2:00-2:10 where they show BOTH an upright bassist AND an electric Fender bass guitar being used. was this technique common (or ever used?) in soul recordings?
Lou Reed "Walk On The Wildside" is another (not soul though)
In soul it's not common & I can't think of an example off the top of my head, although there will definitely be one.

That's right, Herbie Flowers got paid double due to playing 2 x basses!
