[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:

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.
