Is a S.U.B suited for someone that has no current interest in slap style? I'm more of a metal / prof guy myself.

They are fun to slap but great for all styles. From wikipedia:

"The StingRay has been a favorite of several influential bassists, some of them renowned for their slapping technique, such as Louis Johnson, Flea, Bernard Edwards and Guy Pratt. In its fretless form the StingRay helped define Pino Palladino´s sound with Gary Numan from 1982 onwards and subsequently as session bassist. The pre-Ernie Ball MusicMan Stingray is the main instrument of Paul S. Denman of the Sade band and it has been featured on all of their albums and live recordings.

Benjamin Orr, bassist, co-vocalist and founding member of The Cars, is well known amongst fans to have played a circa 1977 Inca Silver Music Man StingRay with maple neck/fretboard and black pick guard. This bass was lost in a fire that swept through Orr's Boston apartment in the early 1980s, along with a cherry red 1967 Vox Constellation bass with an unusual black head stock.

Cliff Williams of AC/DC has commonly used the StingRay. Rex Brown of Pantera used the Stingray mostly in the Vulgar Display of Power era.

Queen's John Deacon was often seen playing a StingRay (his is on display at the Hard Rock Cafe in Cleveland, Ohio.Link Removed), as was Rick Wills of Foreigner. Tim Commerford (AKA Timmy C) of Rage Against the Machine played the StingRay almost exclusively until around 1995. Ross Valory of Journey has used a StingRay in recent years, while Randy Jackson used a custom purple/white polka dot StingRay on Journey's Raised on Radio tour. Tony Levin has used both four- and five-string StingRays, and also commissioned Music Man to build him a custom 3-string version. Bernard Edwards of Chic used the StingRay bass almost exclusively. After his death in 1996, his bass was inherited by John Taylor of Duran Duran. John Bentley of Squeeze uses early 2 EQ StingRays. Eric Wilson of Sublime played a StingRay on most of the band's early recordings.

Other StingRay players include: Tom Hamilton of Aerosmith, session player Bob Birch, Jamie Stewart of the Cult, Simon Gallup of The Cure, Mark Hoppus of Blink-182, Mike Herrera of MxPx, Joe Lally of Fugazi, Max Green of Escape the Fate, Alex James of Blur, Steve Mackey of Pulp, Colin Greenwood of Radiohead, Jonathan Gallant of Billy Talent, Martyn Walsh of Inspiral Carpets, Dougie Poynter of Mcfly, Gareth McGrillen of Pendulum (occasionally during live performances), Jesse F. Keeler of Death From Above 1979, Justin Chancellor of Tool, Jeff Caxide of Isis, Richard Wells of Texas Hurricane, Rick Johnson of Mustard Plug, Matt Wong (formerly of Reel Big Fish), Johan Larsson of The Supervisors, Rahul Ram of Indian Ocean, Rob Derhak of moe., Roger Manganelli of Less Than Jake, John Moyer of Disturbed, Tom Crease of Frenzal Rhomb, Jesse Buglione of Lagwagon, Johnny Christ of Avenged Sevenfold, Nikola Sarcevic of Millencolin, Mark King of Level 42, Anthony Setola, Larry Hubbard of Curtom artist Leroy Hutson, the Dells and Bassx, Dave 'Phoenix' Ferall of Linkin Park, Marc McKnight of Atreyu, Chris Batten of Enter Shikari, Jonathan Kogan of Area 11, Mark Mendoza of Twisted Sister, Justin Hills of Sleeping with sirens, Niall Hone of Hawkwind, Louie Talan of Razorback, Pedro Aznar of Serú Girán, Jaime Preciado of Pierce the Veil, Riker Lynch of R5, Tim Foreman of Switchfoot, Jia "Pie" O'Connor of Parkway Drive, Ross Valory of Journey, Connor Ball of The Vamps, Kelen Capener of The Story So Far, and Calum Hood of Five Seconds of Summer. Dougie Poynter of McFly, having played a variety of basses throughout his career, currently plays a Stingray HH 4 string. Gail Ann Dorsey, top session bassist and vocalist (bassist for David Bowie, Lenny Kravitz, and Bryan Ferry, among others), Steve McKinley, bassist for Joel Kosche (Collective Soul).

The StingRay also found itself especially popular with shoegazing artists of the early 90s, likely because its tone was so effective at cutting through the multilayered distortion characteristic of the genre. Steve Queralt of Ride, Nick Chaplin of Slowdive, Russell Barrett of Chapterhouse, and Fernando Gatillo Belazaras of Invalid Link Removed, all found their sound in the StingRay, among others. Pino Palladino played a Music Man StingRay Fretless Bass. Pino Palladino was the bass player for the Paul Young band. His unique style was featured on Gary Numan's 1982 album I, Assassin, in which his fretless bass playing made a prominent contribution to the overall sound of the album. He went on to play fretless bass with a healthy number of high-profile artists that include David Gilmour, Tears for Fears, Pete Townshend, Peter Gabriel, Joan Armatrading, Phil Collins, Chaka Khan and Don Henley."
