To be brutally honest I never thought much of his playing or singing;....he did come up with some good material and concepts though.
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

I've been getting into The Final Cut's "Not Now, John" as of late. Nothing spectacular but a true example of just how solid Waters was as a bass player. A great cut on an otherwise staid album.

Rog is a decent, solid bassist. I love his playing throughout the Pompeii film.
Also, I think the bass lines in Take Up Thy Stethoscope.......is really cool.
Atom Heart bass lines are superb too. Actually, Roger was the reason I picked up a bass in the first place !!

true enough that some of Animals bass playing was done by Gilmour at  Waters's insistance, since he  played rhythm guitar on those moments
 
And Waters played those bass parts live, both after the album's release, and long before its release... since both Dogs & Sheeps were existing even before WIWH's recording and were regularly on stage.
