Even on slower songs, Stefan is subtly kicking ass and he incorporates a wide variety of techniques (uses harmonics frequently, tastefully pops and slaps when appropriate, also plays 4, 5, 6 string, fretless, upright, uke bass, you name it) As a bass player myself, Stefan is absolutely one of my favorite bassists.

And thing is, he can be flashier and shred leads if he really wanted. He doesn't show off his full array of licks for sure. The dude is a badass.
