I think it would be awesome if Mark joined as a full member. Kim could play third guitar again and Mark could play bass. As an extra benefit, playing guitar would also be easier on her wrists than playing bass.

They could easily write and record multiple bass parts with only 1 bassist(although Thurston OR Lee could be playing bass on any of those tracks). There's no way to tell.

Thurston and Lee don't play bass on the RR; Kim plays bass. One exception is Rats, in which Thurston plays bass. And I don't think SY do multi-track recording too much.
