Youtube has several excellent videos of Tony Levin with King Crimson. He's ridiculous.

One friend played one for a few years. He developed nasty arthritis in his fingers from the tapping. He sold it. Occupational hazard when you tap on strings for many years.

Action?
That’s odd because the action on a Stick is much lower than a guitar or bass. Sticks are designed to have a straight neck profile with very low action. People with hand issues typically find the Stick to be easier to play. I’ve never had any issues, even when doing an all day seminar for several days.

Tapping
Most all tapping instruments like Stick, Warr, Touch Guitars require a flatter neck profile. Guitars can be setup the same way, and I believe Rickenbacker also sets their basses up with no relief / straight profiles. If you have issues tapping or lots of hammer ons, check your neck profile. Lighter gage strings also help.

They're interesting. I was able to try one once. At the time it was mental overload. I'd probably get one if I had a LOT of time to dedicate learning. Otherwise, a mandolin or banjo might seem a little more reasonable. A big weakness of mine is a complete lack of hand independence.
