A little guessing game: Who is the odd one out?

[Grand Wazoo]

Here is a clue...

???

 

[73h Nils]

Me!

- I- - I---I mean Tony Levin!

 

[Grand Wazoo]

ok you guessed right, but..... can you tell us why?

 

[MrMusashi]

an olp signature doesnt count??

MrM

ps: that black 20th sr5 mr levin played (and hellboy bought.. damn you swedish people!) should be made his signature bass
of course.. just in my humble internet biased opinion

 

[Grand Wazoo]

Exactly the point I was trying to make, Tony Levin can be classed as one of the most prominent artists playing exclusively MusicMan basses (except for when he is playing a Chapman Stick) for the last 2 decades or more, so why there is no Tony Levin signature model?

The OLP can't really be considered an Ernie Ball MusicMan instruments so that doesn't really count.

 

[MrMusashi]

why there isnt a big tony bass only bp and the man himself can answer

id presume he is so satisfied with stock eb basses that he doesnt need/want anything else.. hehe
but then again, its just an uneducated guess..

MrM

True and well said, but just imagine how well a Tony Levin Signature StingRay would sell? Perhaps they should sell them with a set of funk fingers lol

 

[Big Poppa]

It would be useless....Dealers dont want it and Tony doesnt want it and each of those others have needed something signifigantly different. why disrespect the many signifigant bassist that have played a role in making the Sting Ray a classic.

Thanks BP,

Fully understood and also appreciated that Tony doesn't want it, it's just that from a fan point of view and I mean a fan of both the Stingray and Tony Levin one would be very prod of owing a TL signature bass as much as say.... a Luke or Morse fan would, that's all.

But I thank you for your explanatory input

I thought it was BP, as the only one with no facial hair on display.

damn JP is looking mean!

I wondered about it, too, Fran, so I asked him at the Open House way back in 2005.

He said exactly what BP said. "I don't want one, really. I play them right off the rack and they're perfect."
