petebassist Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Not many around, and I didn't know that Bill Wyman could sing too back in his hey-day - came across this picture disk album in London at the weekend. Interesting track list too ;-). I'm not a huge fan of his singing but my all time favourite rock bass line is Bill's tour-de-force on Miss You, and it's gotta be the extended version.

Barking Spiders Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Thought there've been a fair few over the years although we could argue the toss about the singing bit. Anyway, what about these, starting for ten: Paul McCartney, Sting, Mark King, Phil Lynott, Geddy Lee, Les Claypool, Larry Graham, Bootsy Collins, Troy Sanders, Lemmy, Jack Bruce, Greg Lake, Roger Waters, Tom Araya, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 OK, and I'll raise you - Brian Wilson, Suzi Quatro, Alan Gorrie, Nick Lowe, Sheryl Crow, Bryan Adams, Justin Curry, Peter Cetera, Glen Hughes, Randy Meisner and Timothy B Schmit, Rick Danko, John Wetton and the guy from OMD whose name I can't remember.

Cuzzie Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Sting has to be in there, Glenn Hughes is immense, Chris Kosnik from The Atomic Bitchwax is a monster player and singer, Meshell N’Degecello And my personal favourite dUg Pinnick, he can do little wrong in my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Gene Simmons too. Sid Vicious released "Sid Sings" but I think that was debateable on many levels! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuzzie Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Esperenza Spalding Pretty sure Trent Reznor Nine Inch Nails used to tickle bass a bit. Can we have a notable addition with Barry White? His voice was a bass all of its own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonzodog Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Blackie Lawless in the early days of WASP. Great vocals but think his bass playing was pretty much just root notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
