WWTLD? What Would Tony Levin do?

"WWTLD? What Would Tony Levin do?" the guitar player said so I responded what about Jaco, Leland, Pino, Stanley, Bootsey, Alphonso, Ralphe, Percy, Ray, Ron, Flea, Dusty or any other great or not so great bass player.

Sorry for the rant just got home from a session where I got into what started as an off hand suggestion, my funny sarcastic argument that got a bit too out of hand. Some guitar players have much too thin a skin at times. So I started throwing out guitar players, John, Eric, Eddie, Eric, Billy....The drummer was amused and actually was on my side throwing in other bass players and guitar players....until we started naming drummers, Peart, Williams, Cobham, Bonham oh my.

 

This is an on and off recording "solo" project for the guitar player that has been running a couple of years, this particular song has been thru several complete make overs all the way through mastering only to go back to the drawing board. This version I am playing my EUB going for the type of sound and vibe TL might get on Liquid Tension Experiment or Last Dance of Mr X. The guitarist out of his own artistic frustration started in on my bass concept for the tune, which was starting to take a shape I was happy with.
