Such a great display. Happy I was able to get 2 Sticks while Emmett was alive.

[@donschiff]

I love it, "The Emmett and Don Show!"

[@fboxberger]

great instrument!!!! the best bass sound I have ever heard and easier to play than I originaly thought thanks to the thin graphite neck. Great job Emmett...Frank

I have been waiting to try out an NSStick for a long long time. I wish I could! It seems I would have to actually buy one and see if I really love it.

@@BlueManIan I love Tony, but he's not remotely a master of the stick. He's perfunctory on it. I'm talking VIRTUOSO, like an Yngwie or Vai or John McLaughlin. There isn't ONE stick virtuoso on the planet! ARGH!

This is clearly advanced noodling.

[@MultiPetercool]

It’s a shame John Entwistle never got to play one. 😞

[@myworms]

He owned one, if you look it up, it was sold at auction by Sotheby’s at some point after his death.

[@MultiPetercool]

@@myworms I stand corrected! I had a feeling he would’ve loved it!
