| The most immediate idea that occurs to me is to use your 10 string tuning/gauges but drop the highest pitch string on each side (1 and 6). You'd lose the lowest tappable notes from the 10 string since the NS/Stick doesn't have the extra X fret of the 36" scale 10 string (thus becoming the open ... |

| A Scotland Stick get together would be fun! Since leaving Virginia and moving to Scotland 8 years ago my Stick related activities (as far as gigs, meeting up with others) have been quite minimal. What do you guys think of starting a WhatsApp group to stay in touch more easily and discuss such matter... |

All the pickup housings should be height adjustable, which one do you have? I had to adjust the height of the bass side of my Stickup recently, details on how to do that are here:

| I agree, MainStage on iPad would be very cool, I don't know if that might happen. I had some promising initial experiments playing the Stick directly (via RME interface in class compliant mode) through two different channel strips in Logic on iPad, as well as using the HX Stomp as an audio interface... |

| Indeed I'm using the 7 bass/5 melody custom Stickup on my Grand, which works really well for mirrored 4ths due to the extra pitch range and chord possibilities. mad_monk I believe also has this on his SG12. 5 bass/7 melody seemed more common in the 90s when I first became interested in the Stick, ma... |

| Greg's been on my mind constantly ever since I heard the news. I spoke with him a bit on Saturday and tried to express how much he's meant to me and many other people. We had a lot of great memories during my 11 years in Virginia (Charlottesville was a peaceful 1.5 hour drive through the countryside... |
