I know there are a few bass players out there on this site but I was wondering if anyone has a Chapman Stick? I'm thinking of getting one soon and wanna pick the brains of someone with knowledge. I dunno whether to go for an 8 string, 10 string or 12 string and I was wondering how difficult the initial transition will be from playing bass to stick.

For anyone out there unfamiliar with the world of the Chapman stick check out this site:
