  • @hueseph While I agree the Stick is an instrument with a lot more potential. It's bass "character" can't be replicated by any bass I've heard. The two handed approach coupled with that hammer-like tone is a specific sound that i think really works hear. Not saying either instrument replaces or is better than the other. The stick like any instrument should be played in whatever place or method necessary to achieve the desired sound in my opinion. It doesn't make a huge difference but its cool.

  • Ahhh, yes, brings back memories of Nick's awesome Stick work with Iona...

    I agree with Kalypticbass: only with the Stick you can do a bass part like this. I love my basses, and I love my Stick :-)
