This is true, Ray, but there is another reason why there are so few alternatives. A lot has been done to suppress alternatives over the years. Everything from lawsuits to the daily dissing of products, concepts, and events by people paid to do so. Traktor, no matter what happened in the past, or th...

Every time I hear this argument, I am reminded of how I got my first Stick. It was 1985. I found a used one in a music store for $600. I was a poor college student, but I really wanted to get it so I found a way to come up with the money (I borrowed it). At the time there were less than half as man...

I think the Stick's usefulness in the music realm lies in its uniqueness, and that is due to its relative obscurity. I think it should be that way. If everyone played a Stick, would it be as cool? No. I certainly wouldn't buy a crappy instrument just because there are a thousand cheap ones at the mu...

Yes, it was blatant, but we're all adults here, and hopefully not easily offended. I'm not. I thought it was funny.

Like most of the selling points for TT's instruments, you could look at this as basically a gimmick, used to put down The Stick's intonation (Warr doesn't have any mention of Feiten on their site as of today, don't know what that means...). It's hard to see how it applies, since the damper keeps th...

Negatar, heh. I love that. I owned a stick for 11 years. Loved it. Loved the sound. Ended up trading it for a Warr Phalanx. I didn't and don't understand the claim of various stickists that the instrument is ergonomically superior to other instruments. Mine wasn't, although I believe it was the resu...

Speaking for myself, I simply can't get around the visual aesthetic (or lack thereof) of the instrument. I'm accustomed to playing a stringed surfboard, so the spacing isn't much of an issue for me. I would welcome a crossed instrument with such a wide spacing... if the look was right. But I think y...
