Grant Stinnett
Grant Stinnett is an American bassist notable for compositions on the bass guitar played as a solo instrument which use tunings different from the standard bass guitar tuning. For example, he performed using a D-Tuner bass tuned to C G C G for his tune "Born of Fire and Light". He played the jazz standard "All the things you are" using a LeFay Singer six-string bass, with a special tuning from the low E to the high F instead of the usual B to C tuning. Reviewer Jake Kot in "Bass Musician Magazine" compared Stinnett to  bass guitarists such as Michael Manring, Victor Wooten, and Steve Bailey, who play the bass guitar as a solo instrument, and Kot described Stinnett as presenting a "nice array of techno-adventures, ambient excursions, chord/melody playing", with good melodies. Stinnett's album G Money was released in 2006 when he was 17 years old.
