| __________________________________ [Sep 22,2009 11:16am - Martins ""] Expensive, probably... hard to play? Not any harder than it is to play guitar or bass or trumpet or piano. It just involves different techniques. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 22,2009 11:17am - aril ""] it's a skill that would require practice - and the fact that most people don't have them makes it a little challenging. it should come somewhat natural to some bass players though. |

| ________________________________ [Sep 22,2009 11:22am - aril ""] someone go to berklee and snag a chapman stick. but beware of the egosharks there, they'll bite your head off with fancy musical rhetoric and make sure you know they're better than you at music |

| __________________________________ [Sep 22,2009 11:43am - C.DeaD ""] That band Laundry used a stick. Gave it a fucked bassy sound I have yet to hear in extreme music. It almost sounds like a bass and piano mix. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 22,2009 11:45am - aril ""] i think the sound would suit some types of metal, it's just a rare instrument and even more rare to find someone that knows how to play it well. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 22,2009 11:47am - C.DeaD ""] I think it would suit a band or bands like Ved Buens Ende/Virus very well. |

| __________________________________ [Sep 22,2009 11:57am - MikeOv ""] Sean Malone used one on Cynic's Focus. Jim, did you ever get Coiled in Wings; the live VBE bootleg? |
| ________________________________ [Sep 22,2009 11:59am - aril ""] Indeed he did. I also like the Gordian Knot stuff with the stick a lot. In fact, everything I've heard with the stick (Tony Levin, etc.) I've liked. Nope, I never got a chance of listening to that. I'm curious, though. |

Their bassist James Mobius would play Stick on some stuff. This track in particular is pretty cool: http://mobiusbandwidth.com/sg-audio/sg-two_swans.mp3 |
