Don't know if it's been posted yet, but I just googled some adequate words and found that :

As the previous Liquid Tension example (Tony Levin) Cirkle of Dust used the Stick only for bass in this song. The real challenge would be to find examples where a Stick is used for the parts traditionally taken on by guitars. One main issue, in metal Stick playing, is how to match the guitar's convenient way of palm muting strings to achieve that aggressively chugging attack. I still reach for my drop-B humbucker strat for such parts. It seems that, with the Stick, you merely rely on amp settings for the "crunch factor". That sounds cool too, but is not the same thing.

Therein lies the problem with me attempting to use the stick as more than a bass in the song. I'm sure it can do harmonized leads with the guitars just fine, but when it comes to slamming out riffs a la Iced Earth, or Suffocation or anything that's ridiculously heavy, it doesn't do it the same way guitar does. in those situation, it might just be best to lie back as a "bassist" -- and attempt thing a normal bassist might not.

Oceans, I have watched a number of your YouTube vids, great stuff. I have an interest in this conversation as this is where my interest is too.
