Hello! I had back surgery two weeks ago & I'm just browsing around 'cause I've been playing bass (electric, upright, trombone) since highschool & then I bought my 1st Stick in the 80's after WANTING Tony Levin's sound...pretty much always playing Stick these days original music getting ready to do some Audacity recording w/ myself on drumboxes, HandSonic, NordLeadII & variously oddly tuned guitars & fretted/frettless basses (when I need those sounds...no calluses these days playing Stick). FYI Stick's are mid-80's 10-string Ironwood & '08 12-string Dual Bass Reciprocal bamboo Grand.
