Sign in to disble this ad
I'm thinking about getting vocal lessons so I can sing and play the bass at the same time. So for inspiration for this new goal I've just set for myself, I'd greatly appreciate if you can post some bands where the lead vocalist is the bass player.
I'd surely look up the bands on youtube to get inspired! Thanks guys!!!

| | A Spirit with a Vision is a Dream with a Mission | | Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Spencer, MA, USA | | I just want to add this: if you can sing and play bass, then my hat's off to you. When I try both my singing and bass playing suffer, so I stick to just playing bass. And if you heard my singing you'd know why!
