well I guess Stanley could be considered a master of playing high up on the neck at the speed of light
Right on! Haha. I must admit, I'm guilty of playing up high and fast and all that. I've listened to so many different types of music, and gathered influence from them all, including jazz, rock, bluegrass, funk, and so on. yet, with all those influences, i still end up sounding like Stanley, especially when I write on original piece. Jaco Pastorius was the guy that made me want to play bass, and I have listened to him for years, yet..I still have a Stan-sound (not that it's a bad thing!). Just unusual that things turned out like they did. Just goes to show that everyone is different and that there is no right or wrong way to play, in terms of personal tastes.
Or somethin' like that
