	I'd like to know what Keyboards have to do with it, after all I havnt seen any polls asking if you'd want to replace keyboards with guitars or vice versa. Plus, in my experience, the Stick and Warr guitar tend to be played by bassists like Levin, Myung and Gunn.

	If you want a Chapman Stick blowout, check out Gordian Knot's debut. It's run by ex-Cynic bassist Sean Malone and he plays stick with MYung and several others. I haven't listened to a lot of stick recording, but I always loved Levin's playing. Chapman invented it, but without Levin, it would never have gotten the widespread acceptance it did, or at least not as quickly IMHO.

	Being a Tapper myself I am partial to tap instruments (Stick, Warr, Megatar). But this is an apples/oranges poll.
