From about 18 years I think, Stanley use only ADGC tuning and I suppose he use 0.80, 0.65, 0.45, 0.30 as I use for my tenor basses. If you see some RTF concert, he use normal bass with EADG but I don't now the gauge, certainly the same 100/80/65/45 (Message edited by pierreyves on February 22, 2011) teo Junior Username: teo Post Number: 11 Registered: 3-2010 Posted on Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - 8:33 am:    look this video during stanley solo, strings look like chewing gum: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NOLqX6LT2g pierreyves Senior Member Username: pierreyves Post Number: 757 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - 2:40 pm:    is it his tenor bass, Stanley has great finger's attack ;o) funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 678 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - 3:57 pm:    He used to endorse RotoSound dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 1342 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - 4:28 pm:    I recently obtained an endorser's account with DR. They told me Stanley is using their strings now. Another great family company. edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 873 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - 8:40 pm:    Welcome aboard, Danno! In fact, there's a link to Alembic, albeit perhaps a bit tenuous. The D in DR is Dronge, as in Guild guitars, who built some of the first instruments that Alembic modified. I love the Sunbeams! teo Junior Username: teo Post Number: 12 Registered: 3-2010 Posted on Thursday, February 24, 2011 - 7:29 am:    i suppose it's cause of short scale maybe give less tension to the strings ? doug_k New Username: doug_k Post Number: 8 Registered: 3-2011 Posted on Sunday, April 03, 2011 - 11:26 am:    great clip, that's the most energy i've ever seen the late show band put into a performance.
