The 'Chapman Stick' itself really is just a plank with strings in 2
parallel groups. (Lowest pitch in the middle).
So indeed, this is a "12 string bass" and it can be seen as a variant the stick,
going a lot of the way back towards a regular electric bass/guitar.
( cf. "Warr Guitar")
Dampers at the nut are optionally used to stop the open strings sounding.

What would one call this multi-stringed chordophone?
