Certainly. But I was referring to the option to play it like two
"jamming" instruments, using one hand on each side of the fretboard
and each side going out through separate outputs through different amp
rigs. That particular multitasking quality is rarely found in other
instruments, except the piano, the harp and similar.

Yes, but I don't have a problem with that as I can pick up another
instrument anytime. I'm more wooed by the multitasking orchestral
aspects of the Stick.
