Hi Stick friends, I'm testing out the new digs and looking to post a little content now that I am settled into my new place. Not a lot of new content this week, but a gig report next Friday for sure, hope you enjoy, cheers. |

Yes, back for more oversharing of my Stick journey lol! Marty, was that for a 12'r? That's a crazy varietal on gauges, would love to see / hear that. I am gearing up to try out some heavies on my 10'r with the Actv2. |

Gene, I thought that was what you did on a ten-string, light 6 & heavy 8 w/ a medium set. Where did I get that idea? I swear I heard it somewhere! Well, Jeff is sending those 2 extra strings along with my, yes, 12 string DBR set. I de-tune the bass side a half-step, and I wind up w/ 10-string Classic "relationship" tuning-melody one octave lower. But I've always found the low bass string "muddy" so we'll see what goes. Free Hands Friday! Free Hands Every Day! |

Might have been one of our TnT rants. I'm thinking it was the podcast. The more we talk about the more I want to try it. Light 6 and a heavy 8 - sounds like a meaty mid configuration. |

I believe I related my "light 7/medium 8/heavy 9" configuration for my 12 string on the Tap In Time Strings episode. Could that be what you're remembering? (would be 6 light and 8 heavy on a 10 string). |

Aha! Victor, you are the culprit! I'll be sure to post after cleaning and re-stringing. |

Ah, it's all coming back now. I have not delved into alternate gauges with Stick strings yet, especially in the mid-range bass side strings. |

We shall see. Seems like a cool variation. In DBR med., I love the melody side, but the bass side has always seemed abrupt. Being I play a lot of lines w/ two hands on the bass side, this may prove the Goldilocks. Again, I'll have the standard med. set should I find it less than optimal. Sorry to highjack your post Gene, I've turned it into a string gauge post. Let me not take away from having Free Hands Academy up and running again! I will start a new post on the string experiment as soon as they show up and Kate's not on vacation! |
