I imagine for the same reason Basic Channel don't give out their gear list: there's already way too many people biting their sound already -- why make it any easier? One of the reasons certain pieces of gear change hands for absurd amounts is because all too many people seem to think amassing the same gear as musicians they enjoy will allow them to make music that sounds like them. I'm not suggesting that this is your motivation for wanting to know what they use, but I've heard more than one musician express frustration about this issue. -d.w.
