Tony is not a bass role. It's a high baritone/tenor role.

That's equally wrong, IMO. Baritone, sure. Tenor, definitely not. (And in the high-profile productions I know of, only one has featured a tenor - Paul Sorvino - and reports generally seemed to be that he was not vocally up to the role.)
Tozzi was a true bass. Many of the other famous Tonys have been either baritones or bass-baritones.

And also remember that voice classifications are different depending on whether we're talking opera or musical theatre. And that fachs really don't exists in musical theatre at all.

Herman and Giuseppe are tenors. Joey and Tony are not.
