Bassist with the best singing voice

[5156246]

I'd vote for Mark King,
Jack Bruce and
Paul McCartney.

I still ain't able to play and sing decently at the same time

 

[big daddy cool]

Sting
Jason Newstead (yes, hedoes sing sometimes.)
The Blink 182 guy

 

[onebassplayer]

Larry Graham
Sting
Larry Campell (if you know who he is).

 

[Brad Johnson]

Forgot Raphael Saddiq.

Chris Squire of Yes.. thank god he does sing like that or all those harmonys with the soprano midgeoto Jon Anderson would get a little strange

Stephen Stills plays bass on some CSNY stuff, and all those guys are amazing vocalists..

Geddy..

Paul..

Jack Bruce

Sting has an.. interesting voice works well though

NOT ME! Everyone point and laugh at the almost tone deaf bassist! ooh..its me oh well..

 

[lo-end]

dare I mention Mark Hoppus (not really a bass player)?

 

[Monkey]

I also really like Chris Squire's voice. I love singing harmonies, and he was amazing at singing beautiful, complex harmonies with killer bass lines. I also like Sting. Anyone ever heard of a funk band called "Dag"? If I remember right, the bassist is the singer, and he is great.

 

[terms bassist]

I don't know his last name, but I've talked to him at a gig once. Matt the bass player from Motor Ace (it's an AUstralian alternative band) they are awesome and his voice is easily as good as the singers voice in that band some good harmoney's come out of those pair.

 

[Nomadic Herder]

Matt Freeman (he sounds funny when he yells)
Geddy Lee (Im not familiar with Rush, but I think its him singing)
Les Claypool (twang)

 

[freddylang]

Peter Steele
Sting
McCartney
Doug Pinnick

... all great singers and a lot of styles too.

The next question is who is richer, Sting or McCartney? Probably McCartney until Sting sells a few more Benz's, some Budweiser, Chee-tos, and whatever else anyone asks him to. Sting, you're rich! You don't need anymore to throw on the pile! Quit making yourself look dumb!

Of course if someone gave me money I'd be dancing next to the Chee-tos leopard like Paula freakin' Abdul...

damn womanly voiced bastard....

robert plant had a "womanly voice"...

 

[Woodchuck]

Nathan East and Raphael Sadiq, hands down!

 

[Dave Castelo]

best Bassist-rapper: Adam Yauch (Beastie Boys)

i will not rest untill everyone i know recognize him as a great bassist! (right now i´m listening to his solo piece on the instrumental "Flutterman´s rule", one of the best distorted bass instrumentals ever.

 

[Woodchuck]

I like Ad Rock, but IMO, he's not the best rapper bassist. I'd vote for Dre2000 from Outkast. Yes, he plays.

 

[freddylang]

Flea gets my vote for worst. (he sang on 1 song.)

 

[lo-end]

I happen to enjoy Flea's voice. It sounds very... funny.

And you're right, Adam from the Beastie Boys is a good bass player. I saw them play Sabotage live a couple times, and hes good. But he wears his bass up by his neck.
