Both John Wetton and Chris Squire are fabulous bassplayers who sings good. Still my vote goes to Roger Waters, whos bassplaying and singing is solid, but not spectacular in any way. Taking in his composingskills he is my winner.

What about PETE TREWAVAS?

I think he's a good bassist and sings quite good as well.

Although Wetton and Lake are surely high quality bassists/vocalists my vote goes to their predecessor Jack Bruce.

For me, it's gotta be WETTON.Thumbs Up

CoolSolid bassist, fine vocalist, & a great resume (apart from Asia): Crimson, UK, Hackett live, etc.Clap

For overall playing/singing, I went with Wetton. But as far as skills on bass, Geddy Lee and Chris Squire beat him out.

For the combination of singing and bass playing I picked Greg Lake.

Geddy Lee is obviously eons beyond anybody as far as singing and playing bass.  It's no contest.  Squire and Wetton are great, but Geddy is a phenomenon.

^^^I have an idea. Lets string Geddy up by his balls and see just how high he can really sing.

Chris squire and Geddy lee.  I love Wetton's bass playing but im not to fond of his voice.  Imo Larks' Tongues would be a lot better if he had less strained voice.

Hands down Geddy Lee!!!

Sorry about that, but I have to admit I have a weakness for singers who can actually SING... Lemmy is a rock icon, no doubt about that, but I'm not a fan of either his voice or his way of playing bass.

I voted on Wetton but I'm happy seeing Mariusz Duda here (really nice guy - I talked to him lately before Riverside's gig in Cracow) and don't forget about Colin 'the same name' BASS.

Ditto.

Geddy Lee is also a favouite.
