I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I was wondering how many vocalists do we have here on TB? I find that there are fewer bass/singers than say guitards or drummers that sing either lead or background.

I would much rather just play bass though.
EDIT: Just saw the poll posted. I do the lead vocals.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2006 Location: ST Pete Florida | | | Mostly back ground but I am practicing to be more of a front man. Would like to start a psychedelic blues trio or quartet and I would be the occasional lead. It's real tricky singing lead and keeping a steady rhythm. I lean heavily on the drummer and she usually relys on me or the keyboardist to stay in step. |

For The Late Hours, I periodically sing background.
It's very hard to lock with the drummer while you're singing.

No carrot option. 
Also, what does 'O/T' in the original post's title refer to, & why is this in 'basses'?

I can't sing and play...or sing and not play for that matter

| | | | It's easy to sing good lead vocals with good bass work as long as you practise your arse off, same with anything obviously
I guess it's like a pianist learning complete independence of both their hands, but with two instruments at the same time instead |

Now I'm more confused. You posted a question about singing & playing(technique, maybe)in basses, & label it off-topic?
But thank you for your response. I'll go vote now.
