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.

Thanks for the answer, guys! I've seen the finger-tapping style
performed on standard electric guitars, but I didn't know an instrument
had been developed just for that technique. "The Stick": really sounds
more like percussion or idiophone.
regards,
Leon
Looks like a variant of the Chapman Stick to me...
