I'd say 94 though.

It doesn't need bass. That's probably why.

I seem to recall him also saying that he didn't like it when bassists in bands sing - that it looks odd. This isn't really an excuse for it not to be on the record of course.

Well I don't like singing bassists either but I doesn't stop me doing it. Although for the one song I sometimes sing at gigs I have a guitar (its a really hard song to play, let alone play and sing. So our drummer plays it ) (he is a part-time drummer, and I'm a part-time bassist. Its a really fun band )

JDB probably wrote and recorded all the music for him anyway

Paul McCartney? Phil Lynott? How can he like Rush then? When you've got the singing, bass playing Geddy Lee?

Macca breaks all the rules - he really is the only acceptable singing bassist!
