Of course. And that's why it's not considered a signature bass.

It's interesting that I didn't really like the shape when the first prototype pictures were shown, but now I think it looks pretty good and have one on order. It's like the Swiss Army knife of basses (SSS)!

Wait, but there is a "Bean" bass... by someone else, but its there!

So in essence, I did get a siggy bass... just not the one I wanted. :D

"signature" instruments usually lead me to seek out something else. a signature ray would be a huge turn off for me in my opinion. the thing is versitile too, which is so anti signature that making it a signature would be goofy.

I guess I understand the concept of signature instruments, when the name of the person is universally known, but I must admit never having heard of this guy or his band until someone posted pics of his Stingray's paint job a couple of years ago.

I'm in the same boat, Mark. If it weren't for this forum, I'd have no idea who the guy is. But then I doubt we're the target market.

I got a chance to talk to Tony Levin about a signature model. His response was basically, "I can play any Stingray off the rack and be happy. What would I ask for to make it mine?"

Word, Tony.
