Sorry for posting so much, but I just discovered my holy grail for Stick positioning: Tighten The Strap! My issues have all been related to the fact that I'm too small for the default Stick strap. And I didn't know! For the last (first too, since I'm a beginner) six months I have been using the stra... |

If you have Emmet's linear inlays on your instrument, then you can readily see them from the side Well, with my Grand I took advance of an order cancellation to get the Stick ASAP and this means it has black markers on dark bamboo. Not the most visual combination. My upcoming SG12 I have ordered sm... |

There are other "fan funding" sites as well. CD Baby Podcast recently had a roundtable discussion on the topic, #099: Roundtable – Fan Funding . I can also recommend #098: Brian Meece – The Crowdfunding Manifesto . Some valuable knowledge spilled in these podcasts! Check them out at http:/... |

Cool, Greg. Maybe I should try a non-angled belthook then. Can one order that as a replacement to fit in by yourself? The first modification I made to my Grand as I got it was to move the belthook for the highest playing position, just like in this example video. Actually it is the angle that puts s... |

That was fun! Thanks for hinting. I like the "warming up noise" they all make in the beginning before kicking off Mr PC. Nice how they kind of had fun with Black Market (Weather Report) around the drum solo part. Great fun to sit back and enjoy all the different colors that can come from j... |

Not sure if this post is serious or a spam post that kind of fits the topic by coincidence? ;-) Anyway, I suggest positioning the stomach in a way that optimizes the playing angle for your Stick exercise. I imagine having a big stomach would be good because I'm personally a bit annoyed by the stick ... |

Auto-wha on melody side. Meticulously adjusted to match variations in note attack strength. I like manual wha too - for poly rhythmic filtering related the strummed rhythm. But this makes more sense to me on guitar then on Stick because with the Stick I find it more fun to do poly rhythm as a relati... |

And welcome - nice to see some more beginners around here. any product similar to fast fret (which I use to prevent the strings from rust) Wipe strings with any strong cleansing alcohol fluid after yo... |

Haha, the more twisted and nuts the better! I hate it when bass magazines rave about playing fewer notes, or just play for "the song", we want the mayhem right?! Yeah - that's the spirit! This thread has inspired me so much!!! Got my first Grand in February, had to put it down for four mo... |

I'm assuming you're talking about the melody side. I would suggest the neck pickup on the PASV-4, with a fairly dark filter setting. Yes, talking melody side regarding this Randy STrom example. PASV-4 neck pickup is what I use most of the time on my Grand 12. I found medium strings sounding much be... |
