Ah, but this is a combined part.  You'll want to use the partcombiner:

tubaI=\notes\relative c' {
      as4 g8 as bes4 as ~ as2. ~ as8 g
}

tubaII=\notes\relative c {
      as4 g8 as bes4 as ~ as2. ~ as8 g
}

\score{
    \context Staff <
        \clef bass
        \notes \key as \major
        \context Voice=one \partcombine Voice
                \context Thread=one \tubaI
                \context Thread=two \tubaII
    >
}
