That sounds very cool. I'd like to get a 4001 someday.

Haven't actually tried it, but I think the harmonics part would be
pretty difficult on the Stick. The open strings are damped, so you would
have to fret them while playing the harmonics with the other hand. AND
since the bass side is tuned in 5ths the chord would look like this:
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+-o-+
+---+---+---+---+---+-o-+---+---+
+---+---+---+-o-+---+---+---+---+
+---+-o-+---+---+---+---+---+---+
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
Seven-fret span, ouch! If I was gonna do it, I would use my
Fender Bass VI and not the Stick.
I'd like to hear your Rick version. Do you put vocals on it?

Actually, I've been looping "The Fish" a lot lately. 2 bars of the EADG
harmonics first, then open E triplet next, the harmonics again but this
time with a bit of wah, and then going from there. I must say that I
have a lot of fun with it. I use my 4001 and get a fairly good
approximation (at least to my ear)
Mark, you should try it on Stick and then post it to us on Stickwire.
