*Blue denotes falsetto notes.
*Boldface denotes particularly notable examples of this singer's vocal capabilities.
*Grey denotes subharmonic low note technique passages.
*Purple denotes mixed notes.

[Macca]

I think his lows should start at E2

[Macca]

Those falsetto notes sound mixed to me

[brookesquatchy]

i think the A4 and G4 sound like somewhat heady mixed notes. the others sound like falsetto/hv to me. also it is deeply upsetting to me that this guy refuses to actually attempt to belt any note above B3 and instead does the weird soft breathy thing he does. his low range is no joke but let's just say the lack of high bolds does not surprise me

[jfb30]

I marked the mixed notes in purple, brookesquatchy.

[bringerofchaos]

He also used to be part of an acapella group called Hawkapella during his college years

[bringerofchaos]

Also, the notes from Bass Singing: The 4th Subharmonic were not Bobby's, but a singer named Leonard Fuks doing them.

From what year til what year?

[bringerofchaos]

He just messaged me on the new BSN. He was in Hawkapella from 2018-2021.

Also, The Bass Gang's new EP is coming out soon, so we're prolly gonna have to update the members' threads. I'm so stoked! 

[bringerofchaos]

If he could work on his high register a bit more, he would have quite the range. Still a great voice!

[bringerofchaos]

Here's a new single from The Bass Gang and The Wellermen. It's pretty good!

Better get to notewatching!

(Bobby, Marwan, and Peter have solos here.)

[bringerofchaos]

Their new EP is finally here!!!
Bobby’s high range is sounding nice on Friend Like Me. It sounds like he’s finally wised up and used an actual mixed voice instead of getting airy like he used to. Never thought I’d see the day.



They were all absolutely amazing on it, as usual!

At 2:08 Bobby hits a Bb0 subharmonic that I think is bold-worthy. (Tomi also on the Bb0)

[collinstaten24]

He hit a mixed voice G4-A4 in friend like me and I think a mixed D5 also

He confirmed in BSN that the G4 and A4 were mixed. The D5 was definitely mixed. I think either the G4 or A4 sound bold worthy to me.

Bobby’s been working on his mixed voice for a while now, and it’s sounding better than ever!

[bassmanmatteo]

That A0 was an accidental subharmonic, not an intentional note (I checked the comments of the video and the creator said it wasn’t an intentional note).
