Aloha All I know that the bassist from the Band Pepper and Jehua from Natural Vibrations sing lead as well as back up on some of the songs that they play.

There are loads of bass guitarists singing lead vox. Larry Graham, Victor Wooten (he has sung a few lead vox), Marcus Miller,.
I have been singing lead vocals now for about 12 years. Not easy in the beginning, but you get the hang of it very quickly.
Link onto this video of the band I play with "Lament" from Tallinn Estonia.
I am singing the lead, and playing the bass over this video.
we need more bassists who can sing lead, and funk it up. Lydia is tooooo FUNKY! She's got that old school funk.....the way the bass suppose to be playing.

a considerable amount of rock bands put the worst guitarist on bass so they are unlikely to be particually good at it.
That was great! Your whole band is great and you are awesome. You should be very proud!
How much did Roger Waters lead sing?? I know he has been performing recently... but back when PF was goin as normal was he the lead vocalist??
Sorry, i don't listen to that much music... and the whole reason i started this thread was so i could learn more about bass players singing lead because i only knew of three...
No need to apologize. I was just surprised, that's all. Roger sang a fair bit, more than Rick and less than Dave. Anytime it sounds like a dying raptor, it's Roger Waters.
all of you make me sick!!! =-P no-one mentioned the father of leadsingers who played bass in rock....JACK BRUCE!!!???...pick up a Cream album once in a while! =-P
wow! Jack Bruce... Cream??? i never knew... i just always assumed it was clapton... wow.
GEEZER BUTLER WAS THE ONLY BASSIST OF BLACK SABBATH
[/ignoring truth]
also,
kenny from the starting line
X-Wolf mentions Jack Bruce in the 10th post. That's why no one else has mentioned him.
