Tony Levin's basses

[vonfog]

I just found an interview in which Tony talks about many of the unique MM basses he's owned. The list is quite extensive.

Scroll about 2/3 of the way down for the part about the basses.

Thanks for the interesting link. This weekend I bought the Peter Gabriel "Growing Up Live" DVD. I just love watching Tony play his SR5, Sabre and NS upright. Oh yea, Peter and the rest of the band are great as well. There are some great theatrics going on in this concert also. I recomend this DVD if you all don't already have it.

Great DVD. They do an amazing job with DTS surround, too. One of the best music DVDs I've seen.

The interview is great. I notice that he said he'd be playing the 3 string MM bass on tour, but the interview also mentions the fire that destroyed the original 3 string. Does this mean that EB replaced the 3 string?

Tony Levin's bass playing sparked my interest in the Bass Guitar after hearing Peter Gabriels "So" CD.
