Man, who's the guy who play? is that you?

[garyopenhill]

yeah, man, and thats the sound of an unprosessed megatar.

[podoz]

is that basically a guitar neck over a 6 string bass, so both tuned e,a,d,g,b,e?

Is it heavy?

cheers

[garyopenhill]

yeah, you can do something like that if you want, but i have it tuned to eadgc while the bass side is eadgcfb starting at an octave lower. I think its about 4 kg heavy if i remember right. If you're after a double guitar tuning then check out boxguitars or the sg12 stick.

hey I like that nice arpeggio composition. Also, I see those C-dots on your board. How do you like them? Best Daniel

[garyopenhill]

your c-dots are the best. I many times have hit my foreheads and said "WHYYYY didnt I think of this!!!""

all genius solutions are often the simplest.

@jfvt21 same technique in general. Megatar is tapered strings, thats one main difference. Standard model is 12 strings. Chapman got a grand stick with 12 strings too but the string spacing on it is way too small for me. There are other things too, like the tiltback string tunerhead and the way you strap the instrument on on, but for me these are the main differences. The chapman stick, specially the stickup model, have a very distinct bouncy sound, but the megatar is more like a bassguitar sound

[jfvt21]

How is a megatar different than a Chapman Stick?

[geiroffenberg]

cant believe i sold my megatar. what am i a moron?

[pjmuck]

Very nice playing. Did you have to custom order your Megatar with that tuning or did you restring it yourself that way (and did you need a new nut as a result?).

[Ravenhunt]

Well, then we gotta meet one day!! ;)

keep sharing this wonderness, plz!
