geilerbass Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 [quote name='Stickman' post='300918' date='Oct 6 2008, 11:24 PM']Cheers. I'll be playing selected shows on the Opeth tour too [/quote] So it's official then Steve? Good work sir - that must be literally a dream come true! I'll definitely have to get a ticket for the London show, assuming it hasn't sold out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpmartino Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 [quote name='bnt' post='288622' date='Sep 21 2008, 12:08 PM']Well, as I mentioned earlier, there are other instruments in the Stick family that would better suit players like me, who want a more bass-like setup. With 10 or 12 strings, totally changing the setup would not be trivial, though some have done it.[/quote] I wanted to develop a Stick style around bass in 4ths, so I use a mirrored 4ths tuning which might be of interest to bass players. I have info on my website, here is an article on the Stick site as well: [url="http://www.stick.com/articles/mirrored4ths/"]http://www.stick.com/articles/mirrored4ths/[/url] While the strings are "upside down" compared to conventional bass, it wasn't as profound of a mental adjustment as I though it would be, and I think the reverse direction greatly helps with chordal and accompaniment possibilities.

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 One of the best tracks that I have heard with the Chapman Stick on it is a song called "Stick Jam" funnily enough by Steps Ahead. It is Tony Levin playing on the album and is a great track also has Michael Brecker on sax too! Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
