| That was fun! Thanks for hinting. I like the "warming up noise" they all make in the beginning before kicking off Mr PC. Nice how they kind of had fun with Black Market (Weather Report) around the drum solo part. Great fun to sit back and enjoy all the different colors that can come from j... |

| Not sure if this post is serious or a spam post that kind of fits the topic by coincidence? ;-) Anyway, I suggest positioning the stomach in a way that optimizes the playing angle for your Stick exercise. I imagine having a big stomach would be good because I'm personally a bit annoyed by the stick ... |

| Auto-wha on melody side. Meticulously adjusted to match variations in note attack strength. I like manual wha too - for poly rhythmic filtering related the strummed rhythm. But this makes more sense to me on guitar then on Stick because with the Stick I find it more fun to do poly rhythm as a relati... |

| Haha, the more twisted and nuts the better! I hate it when bass magazines rave about playing fewer notes, or just play for "the song", we want the mayhem right?! Yeah - that's the spirit! This thread has inspired me so much!!! Got my first Grand in February, had to put it down for four mo... |

| I'm assuming you're talking about the melody side. I would suggest the neck pickup on the PASV-4, with a fairly dark filter setting. Yes, talking melody side regarding this Randy STrom example. PASV-4 neck pickup is what I use most of the time on my Grand 12. I found medium strings sounding much be... |

| "Sploinky" is a good word, I like playing up near the nut because it sounds kind "clavinety". The SG-12 looks weird to me, but it does sound great. A typical case of different taste in string tone I guess! I kind of like a fuller tone, like the neck pickup of the PASV-4. I imagi... |

| The description of the SG-12 at STick.com says Notes near the nut have a full sound with plenty of fundamental frequency for a strong, supportive accompaniment, as on piano or rhythm guitar. I'm curious about you SG player's experience with this. Does the SG12 sound less "sploinky" at the ... |

| I guess that you don't have any phase phenomenon with a single pickup. Am I right? Daniel. Correct! Technically speaking, what matters is the fixed distance between the two pick-ups related the varying distance to one of the two points between which the string vibrates - i.e. the fret where you tap... |

| Thank you, Mad Monk, for those SG12 points. Very interesting! I'd like to add that the shorter scale also makes the phase phenomenon of the pickups more prominent as your tapping moves up or down the neck, i.e. the electric sound does change more related to what fret you are playing at. Maybe this i... |
