Amazing looking and sounding bass. Is there a great difference in sound between yours and a new thumb?

thanks guy, next time i change strings i'll record some sound clip for those of us who are not fimilar with the stingray sound.

It was a sunny day today, so i decided it would only be fair to let my stingray get some sun!

Well how should i start... Im a 28 years old beginner bass player looking for a band. I've been playing bass for about a year and its all still fresh and new to me, but not music. I've been producing house and techno for the last 10 years and had quite a few releases. I always felt that techno didn't deliver many aspects of music that i wanted to explore so i picked up the bass. My main bass influences are: Les Claypool, Square Pusher, Mr bungle, Mark king, herbie hancock, flea, dirk lance (old incubus) and basically anything that grooves and sounds original. Im very open to any style of music. Even tho' i'm a beginner, I'm NOT looking to play root. Im very dedicated and looking to put a lot of effort and time into the right band (i do have a day job tho' ) I know this is a short life story and i hope it doesnt sound too lame , but i want the right band to know what to expect and i hope it make sense. If you wanna check my electronic music: www.myspace.com/jumptothebeat cheers, Ito P.S I cant do any backing vocals and got heavy accent
