Very good

Neck is great because I like thin necks. Also extra frets are nice. Absolute bliss to play, feels great, superb electronics. Machinery and tuning works smoothly. Looks pretty badass also. My version reviewed is ”basic 4” of the Stinger series.

In this video Steele can be seen preforming live using a ESH Stinger Bass.

This bass has Steele's signature style of Black Finish with Green Accessories (e.g. Knobs. Green glow-in-the-dark whole-fret inlays Pickups etc.). This was a trend that all of Steele's future basses (aswell as some of his previous basses) would follow. Steele also installed Piezo Double Bass pickups right next to the bridge on this bass.

In 2009 ESH honored Steele with a Tribute Bass based on this model.

Another version has also been seen on Carnivore reunions shows and some Type O Negative shows, this version is exactly the same exept for the fact that it had Red accessories.
