Grant is using a LeFay D-Tuner with piccolo strings in C-G-C-G tuning for the song "Run of the Angels", though he is not using the detuners in this specific song. According to him, this model was created for him and anyone with this Bass were either his friends or the students of his father Jim Stinnett.

"Hah. The company designed this bass specifically for me. Any other bassists that you see with this model have been friends of mine or students of my father." - Reply to a YouTube comment under this video)
