Eryck Gu⸸⸸eЯaL<p>I have an epiphany. No, not the web browser.</p><p><a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/GHSstrings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GHSstrings</span></a> half round on the bottom of my 6-string <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>guitar</span></a>. Make it G# standard. The rest are flatwounds. .22g wound topmost</p><p>Double up courses a la <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/12string" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>12string</span></a> but, only the top 3. Plain (neon white) <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/DRstrings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DRstrings</span></a> +1 octave.</p><p>Tailpiece & bridge rattle. I adjusted what I could. Slightly better.<br>Replace w/ <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Bigsby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bigsby</span></a> vibrato & <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Schaller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Schaller</span></a> bridge. File custom ridges & lube for strings.<br>Replace nut.

Mike SmaleEven at their decent adult size, this <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Dilophosaurus?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dilophosaurus</a> is still having a hard time moving to the bass from the mandolin.<br>

Eryck Gu⸸⸸eЯaL<p>I'm debating turning my <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/GLguitars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GLguitars</span></a> Fallout <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/shortscale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shortscale</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/bassguitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bassguitar</span></a> into a <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/PiccoloBass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PiccoloBass</span></a>. Tuned as:<br>B1 - .024<br>E2 - .036<br>A2 - .046<br>D3 - .060<br>G3 - .080</p><p>The tension would likely be closer to that of a longscale but, it'd still be one octave up with thinner strings. With <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/DRstrings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DRstrings</span></a>, Neons, the bottom two would be roundcore bass while the rest hexcore guitar strings. </p><p>With a <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Kahler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kahler</span></a> *vibrato* bridge / whammy bar, it'd certainly be a unique, odd in-between instrument.</p>
