Has Lepond ever used...

...five-string basses?

Just curious, since I've never seen him with one. I myself find them much easier to play than a four-string.

I think he's just tuning his to D standard and doesn't need to go lower.

BTW Lepond's axe is a Stingray, right?

I'm not sure what kind of bass he plays. I play Symphony X's songs on a five-string tuned (low to high) A-D-G-C-F. It gives me more versitality.

I think I saw a pic of Miller with a 5 string, but Lepond definately uses a 4 (a string ray now, if I remember correctly, but on the V tour he used a pointy hamer bass).

What songs on the albums has Miller used a five-string on?

The only one that I think I hear a 5th string in is "Church of the Machine".

Miller used a five string.

Lepond uses a Musicman, but the other model...I can't remember what it's called. It's has the 5 way switch on it, that the Stingray doesn't have. As for amps, I think he used an Ampeg the last time I saw him, but I could be wrong.

I just found out after browsing the Tablature section that Miller uses a five string on The Eyes of Medusa, The Accolade, Lady of the Snow and Dressed to Kill.

The Sterling?

That's the one.

I suggest checking out the two Lepond interviews from Dementia Radio. He discusses his bass setup during both of them.
