I actually spoke with Tony once about his bass but I forgot the name. It's a big beautiful slab cut bass. Anyone know what it is. Of course, Tony has a few basses but this one is his newest.
Tony plays with Bob Dylan btw...

According to the Sept. 2009 BP article, his current bass was built in 2006 by Paul Davies of Arts Music, Melbourne, Australia.
Thanks,

I enjoyed Tony's work with Clarence Gatemouth Brown. Really swinging!
BTW, I hear that the 'Angels are riding hogs with the band, and doing security at Mr. Zimmerman's shows these days.  |

All I'm getting from the link is a pdf that won't load. No biggie.
Tony is a fine bassist, with whatever instrument he's using. |

As someone who came from pop and roots music, and who is and always will be an immigrant in the world of jazz, Tony's been an inspiration. I play double bass because of seeing hearing him live with Dylan back in 1990.

I had an interesting experience with Mr. Dylan more than a few years ago (maybe 10 or 15 years). I played with him out in Malibu one day at one of his places. It was not a great musical experience by any stretch; to raw and folky for me as well as out of tune and out of time, but it was fun watching him be BOB DYLAN.
