You know like how guitarists put their palm down on the bridge and the strings kind of make a more percussive "th-th-th" sound? And there's always the Culbertson low-tech muting system  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjNUQRGZTpg[/youtube] Just seeing this kid jumping all around...priceless...lol.

Re: Noob questions about playing... Olivier wrote: Bob's been playing 8 hours a day for the last 30 years. When he played the buskers festival in my hometown (where this video was shot), he played approximately the same songs every day during a week, but each time IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT WAY. Now that's flabbergasting :-O I noticed that many great musicians are using the same path and they consider this as their "repertoire". When we listen to B.B. King for example there is nothing new but everything like B.B. King sounds like. It's a signature finally.

Re: Noob questions about playing... So many great "stupid questions" Jayesskerr.
It's definitely a part of getting your own concept together as GP said. It's like dreaming big to get your Stick concept ready, helping to fuel your approach to playing this wonderful instrument.

It's not a bad remark...I noticed that my stick sounds perfectly well in a PA if I compare this to a bass amp or a guitar amp or both together. If I can make another comparaison, it's almost like a piano (keyboard) in a PA vs an amp. I prefer a PA on my side. I don't know why...maybe all the frequencies range...honestly, I don't know, but it sounds a way better.

Since Jay has a background in guitar, he may be contrasting the Stick to the vast guitar pickup aftermarket.

Re: Noob questions about playing... Jayesskerr wrote: I love rock, so I will be plugging the Melody side into one of my Marshalls. The bass side can go into a bass amp, and we will see what kind of mayhem I can create. I have a PA as well for backup... Haha What are you planning to use for a bass cab?
