Let's think of some: tell me your favorite bass players/lead singers. Off the top of my head, I think of Mark Hoppus from blink-182 and the dude from All American Rejects.
goes without saying: they don't have to be very good at bass to be counted 
but... i do like both their voices...
the other one i can think of is Jaco on Birdland; gotta love that...

| | | | Esperanza Spalding is gaining popularity, but she's more in the jazz and R&B/soul vein. Some bigger names would be Les Claypool, Paul McCartney, and Geddy Lee (although I like his bass playing much more than his singing).

I don't think he sings and plays bass at same time, but he plays guitar and dings at the same time and plays bass in a seperate band. Gojira and Cavalera Conspiracy. His guitar/singing isn't always so easy though. Some really difficult technical riffs he'll sing over.
