The regular vibrato only goes sharp, which is fine, there’s lots of application for a little lift in the pitch, but I do occasionally need to drop a note a little and the lengthwise vibrato will do both, so I’m “cello” maybe half the time.

Before anybody jumps my chit about the cello reference, the guitar version is reversed in terms of motion vs pitch.
When I’m moving toward the bridge on fretted guitar, that’s lowering the pitch. On fretless or slide, towards the bridge is sharp. We just got this website working again after a long rebuilding process, so I’m not entirely sure if I can post a video yet, but if I can, that’d explain it better than I can type it.
Anyway, I’ll figure out how to demo the technique so you can see and hear it working, and that’ll clear it up.

I still use Pyramids on it, but “the tens” thing for me is almost always some hybrid set. The Hendrix set is the old Fender 150 set, Duane Allman, John Cipollina, Cornell Dupree, everybody used those except Hendrix. Dickey Betts used a .010 on top of a Gibson Sonomatic 12 set, so 10, 12, 16, 28w, 32 44.
I do the same with the Pyramid 12’s, put a 10 on top, throw out the low E. 10, 12, 16, 24w, 32, 42.  anyway, that’s the pre-Ernie Ball prepackaged slinky set strategy everybody used back in the day. So, there’d be quite a bit of variation in gauges depending what brand “regular” strings you started with. That’s my normal approach too, sometimes one gauge up or down on any of the inside strings and tend toward the lighter third string. Right now the LP has flatwound Pyramid 11’s on it, wound third, I should probably change that huh?]]> Kimock https://corner.kimock.com/discuss/geartalk/pickups-in-les-paul-goldtop/#post-22 https://corner.kimock.com/discuss/geartalk/gear-setup-in-1999-with-pf/#post-13 Tue, 14 May 2024 22:55:04 +0000 Shane https://corner.kimock.com/discuss/geartalk/gear-setup-in-1999-with-pf/#post-13 https://corner.kimock.com/discuss/geartalk/gear-setup-in-1999-with-pf/#post-21 Tue, 14 May 2024 22:51:43 +0000 Kimock https://corner.kimock.com/discuss/geartalk/gear-setup-in-1999-with-pf/#post-21
