He depresses me when I'm trying to practice my Stick, though.
Dammit. Grumble grumble grumble.

What's the range on those? The reason I ask is if the stick has a very wide "frequency footprint", I don't think it's a bass.
=======================================
As a sidenote, I'd like to see a diagram that shows the range of most popular instruments transposed over the keyboard of a grand piano. It would be really cool if someone has a link to something like that.

Then they added a 12-string Grand Stick. Then they added a buttload of variations: 8-string Bass Stick, 8-string Double Bass Stick, 10-string Alto Stick, 14-string Infernal Throbbing Gigantasm Stick, 24-string Mother Mallard's Hot Buttered Love Stick, etc. It's admittedly difficult to keep track of them all, but the Stick website is a good way to get an overview: http://www.stick.com/ |

| I`ve found this a while ago. Check this pic too, though this one is less clear.
