Singer/Bassist with Deep voice

[kiripunk]

Hi there TB followers, I'm an Italian bassist (wannabe) who likes playing guitar and singing too. I recently started a band as a singer/rhythm guitar player but I didn't feel that confident in playing overdriven guitar with my low pitch voice (hopefully deep one). I started out as a pop punk bassist/back vocalist and I would like to know if you could suggest me any bassist/singer with a deep voice, I mean a voice like Mike Ness' (Social Distortion) but who also plays bass, I don't care about musical genres!

P.S: Pardon my English skills!

Peter Steele of Type O Negative.

Sadly, Peter is dead, but he had a great, very deep voice. Check him out.

Jerry Only was fairly deep (not Danzig deep though).

 

[Kevyspice]

Another dead hero: Mark Sandman from the band Morphine.

 

[CrewsControl]

Beck.

One of the best singers ever was the late James Dewar from Robin Trower. Not always deep, but he had that underlying depth and gravel.

Not a bass player, but Victor Brox (he was Caiaphas in the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack) has a deeper voice.

Tom Araya. lots of bass mids and treble

No one in the Johnny Cash style?

I mean a Johnny Cash "alike" who plays bass instead!

 

[Dr. Cheese]

Larry Graham has a nice low baritone.

No, John Cale and Doug Yule played bass in the Velvet Underground and neither had a particularly deep voice, though Cale's voice was rather monotone sounding, in a cool way.

+1 on James Dewar too- one of the greatest , most soulful, most underrated blues-rock singers of all time in my book.

I wish Peter was still alive. TON = great band

Larry Graham has a nice low baritone.

Great choice, too bad he's a few galaxy beyond my bass skills!

Also not a bass player, but Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode rocked a baritone, and actually got more melodic with his singing as the group went on. Songs that have what I'm talking about:

Rush, I Feel You, World in my Eyes, It's No Good

Peter Steele obviously the go-to for deep voiced bass player...however, if you want to hear power, emotion, tone and melody at near infrasonic levels, you should really listen to Mark Lanegan.
Not a bass player but needs to be heard.

Seriously.

I came here to say the same, he's a huge loss to music IMO

Greg Lake has a deeper voice
