anyone know any details about Taira's Bass guitar? did he use an electric based bass or a normal bass? can anyone tell if its electric based or not through experience? im guessing it is since its for a band...it would need to be hooked up to an amp or something...PLEASE HELP WITH INFO!!

Taira plays a Music Man Stingray. I have the five-string version myself. Chances are, Taira's is an Ernie Ball era Stringray since EB bought out MM in 1984.

It's pretty expensive, so you probably wouldn't want to just buy one casually or as part of a collection unless you have a lot of money to burn. Also, almost all bass guitars are electric. If it's not, then it will look like an acoustic guitar, but even then will probably be acoustic/electric.

Follow your ears. The first bass that I got after my crappy starter bass was my Stingray, so I don't have much experience with anything else. And you shouldn't be like Koyuki and decide on a guitar without playing it or hearing how it sounds.
