I play the NS/Stick (an instrument in the Chapman Stick family) which is a multi-mode instrument designed to be able to tap, pluck, strum, slap, etc…
It can be played in mono or split the bass side and melody side to have different effects.
Since I play as a one-man-band, I play like it’s a bass and guitar stuck together with solid bass sound and a distorted lead tone on the melody side and play along to drum/synth sounds from a Novation Circuit.
