Greetings Powagoat, Nice to see more n00bs here, since I just ordered my first Stick myself (12 str grand, MP, light guage). I've been eying this awesome instrument for decades but never really had the time or the money to pick it up. After placing my order the Stick Fever hit me so hard I had no id... |

Sounds very interesting! The bass side tuning held me back from ordering a NS half fretless and had me go with a grand instead, as my first Stick. Hope someone will film at Bar Mitzvah and upload to YouTube! STrange that there are so few half fretless two hand tapping instruments available! I spotte... |

Hi Per, Go nuts! Thank you for the informative post, Greg. I can't wait to start fiddling around the fretboard! Stick will be the fifth instrument I'm taking up and I already know music theory. Whatever instrument I play I'm "seeing" the notes, intervals and harmonic relationships and thi... |

At the STickmen gig here in Stockholm a couple of weeks ago both Tony and Michael used a bow on their sticks. But only for the highest strings on both sides, which are the ones you seem to get at with a bow. I use a cello bow with a Stratocaster and the only string the bow can reach there is the low... |
