Yeah, this is my rationale, too. With the switch on the guitar I can 
switch 
instantly between 6 strings of guitar, 2 bass  + 4 guitar, and 
6 of bass. Not practical with a regular freaking electric bass and guitar.

Eventually, when I totally master the Stick, I'll be able to do it all 
live 
with no looping, but that will require about 100 times as much practicing 
as 
the Chili Dog/loop setup.
