"The first instrument I played was a P-Bass, but I believe we rented it. The first bass I remember owning was a Rickenbacher 4001 which I still have. I played that through Creedence's second album. Then I went to a Jazz Bass for a while, a Gibson EB-3, then back to a P-Bass. I took the bass pickup off the Rick and put it on the P-Bass up at the neck, I like that really deep tone. I like to feel it more, the overall tone is more important than being able to actually hear each note precisely. I think the bass should fill a space as well as play a particular note."

Stu's states his overall philosophy of bass as, "If you come up with the right stuff, less is more. To me that's the first thing, what will make it work with the most economy? For me, a guy like Duck Dunn combines the elements of note choice and rhythm choice better than anyone." While he does admit to being impressed with the technical developments of modern bass playing, Stu notes, "I'm seeing these guys with incredible chops, but I wonder what they're going to do with that, you can't solo all the time. I refer to myself as a pick and shovel bassist, I'm down in the trenches."
And here are some purty pitchers of them basses:
