Thread Name: 12 String Tuning
Subject: RE: 12 String Tuning
Rick and Roger hit some more key points that are really useful. The brand of your guitar matters before much advice can be given, but almost any reasonable 12 can be modified. If you notice though, all three of us are into the same kind of sound that is so classic to a 12. I haven't had as many as Rick, I count only 11, but any 12 fanatic is a true fanatic. It's got to be that big bass and jangly combination that's so damn hard to describe. Plus, you play a 12 differently and you keep reaching for it first somehow.

Roger...you sound like a limbo tune...How LOW can He GO? The quest for Booming Bass? Love it.**BIG Honkin' Smile**

Rick...Sorry about the Sov....but thanks for making me feel like a total idiot for not thinking of the LaBella before...should have been obvious.
