:It's the proper name of the instrument.  It's often referred to only as "the Stick" TrbleClef 21:54, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: Not necessarily.  Since this article is about a specific commercial product, putting that link in, without making sure that there is a link going the other way, amounts to a biased use of Wikipedia.  It's probably not an appropriate use of Wikipedia to make the link in the first pace.  Too many of the articles in Wikipedia are nothing more than commercials.  This one about The Stick is actually quite unbiased.  There are no superlatives etc.  If you compare that to the article you want to link it too, I think you can see the difference.

How about we just eliminate the "Compare With" section?  I think that the description of the Stick is strong enough to stand on its own.  It's already in the stringed instruments category. --Mperry 02:49, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree that it's important to keep Wikipedia unbiased, but I believe that it's relevant to acknowledge the rivalry between the respective defenders of Stick and Warr Guitars. The fact that there was a high profile civil lawsuit over this a few years back makes this issue even more relevant. I tread on this issue lightly though to prevent flame throwing and edit wars on this page. Thoughts? --Chrisirwin 15:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree.  These articles (Stick and Warr Guitar) are about the instruments. The outcome of the lawsuit had no influence over the design of either instrument. --Mperry 20:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I concur with Mperry.  The litigation pertained to marketing and trademark usage, not to the respective instruments themselves. Doesn't belong here.Dwoz 13:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Compare with? 

message: Alphonso Johnson says on his own Web site forum http://www.embamba.com/board (see May 31, 2006, "Stick on Weather Report Black Market?") that the Chapman Stick was not used on Weather Report's Black Market album, so the statement that Johnson played the Chapman Stick on it has been edited out.

replies: text: The list needs to be a list of [WP:N|notable] Stick players. Maybe a list of touch-style players could be created, but the entries need to meet the notability guidelines. Otherwise, it will turn into a marketing device for every person with a Stick. --Two Bananas (talk) 13:59, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I've tried unsuccessfully to turn the Stick bass page into a dab that includes Chapman's Stick Bass.  I don't care enough to keep at it, but I thought someone here might. There's a guy who seems to think he owns the page, and the term. 64.171.68.130 05:06, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stick Bass 

message: Altho I know that subjectivity is pretty much frowned apon, I really found myself wondering , while reading the article (especially since I have a cousin who owns and plays this instrument) if there are any opinions or consenseses about the limitations and strengths of this instrument, and who has worked hardest to stretch the envelope on any limitations this instrument might have.  If anyone feels they could contribute in this regard, I for one think it could make an important flavor addition to the article.  Hope someone can help.  Hope someone has empathy for what I'm getting @.Thaddeus Slamp 01:33, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was wondering about that too..I remember when this instrument was first introduced as the next big thing and really haven`t heard another thing about it until I stumbled upon this article..I have no idea about the attributes or limitations of it as a musical instrument..it may be that people are reluctant to change but there seems to be no criticism of it one way or another in the article Lonepilgrim007 (talk) 03:13, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Image of Stick 

message: I'm in awe of the Stick, and have been for quite some years. However, much of this article reads like a mashup of sales brochure and how-to manual (wikipedia:NOHOWTO) with Tuning particularly egregious.
Sections like Construction NEED objective outside sources like a published review (or at least an interview with Levin or the like) rather than parroting of the maker's claims. Weeb Dingle (talk) 17:38, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I suspect that the baliset played by Josh Brolin in Dune: Part Two (2024) is an altered NS Stick, most likely as homage to the original movie. A quick google search reveals a cut still and concept art that shows pretty distinct similarities to the NS, but the body is not visible. I can't find any true confirmation online on what they used.
This would be the most significant media representation of the Stick in over a decade, I will see if I can dig up any sort of evidence to verify and include in this article and the film's Equirax (talk) 03:59, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
