I wanted to buy a Stick within a year of getting a good demo from a friend. I didn't get one for many years after that. Then it sat in a closet for a very long time. I sure wish I had kept playing, but that's not stopping me anymore.

My decision took no time at all, though affording it has taken a large percentage of my (still young) life. Greg Howard gave a miniature seminar in my living room on a Sunday, and I placed my order the next morning.

I plan to call SE next week for a status update, since my down payment money could be spent on driving lessons before winter weather becomes a factor.

When I first found out about The Stick, I knew I would have to get one as soon as possible, which ended up being about two years later when I got a job and found a good deal on ebay

I had to say >20 years, because I had first thought of it back in the middle-80's and knew I wanted to get one, but it took me until 2 years ago to finally do it. Otherwise, I'd have said immediately.

I was aware of the Stick since the 80s. But as a woodwind guy, I never seriously thought about getting one. Then, last Winter, I picked one up. Has been a fun experience.

2 weeks from when I realized what the heck it was (i.e. not magical Elvish technology.)

I wanted one immediately, but it took over ten years to get my first one

It took me just about 10 years to get my Stick.

It was about 10 years ago that I was at the NAMM show and came by the SE booth and saw someone playing it. AMAZING!
Later on that day I went back to the booth to touch a stick... A bearded older man came up to me and asked if I knew how it worked and I brushed him off with a simple "yes."
That man was Emmett Chapman...

It has been on my mind over the years. Amazed at how bass and chord/lead can be played together.
Few years later after my encounter with the Stick my band broke up (I was the bassist). I gave up on music for a while and then when I wanted to get back to music the Stick came back into my head and I did a lot of research. A couple months later I found a NS/Stick for sale on craigslist and I told my wife I'm buying myself an early Christmas present (it was Thanksgiving weekend 2012).
