I always struggled with the G as well. It just got totally lost in the band, no matter what I tried.
I do love the Stingray but have come to accept that it's one of those basses that works better when it's in the hands of someone else.
That's reminded me of another one. Guns n Roses would have been a good band were it not for that screeching imp of a vocalist. A vomiting pensioner would have been better.
I'm not usually a fan of solo bass, but this piece is just so, so beautiful... not to mention technically mind-boggling.
Lyrics could never say more than this.
