Since I got me a S12extE9 my S10's have mostly been gathering dust lately.
In my search for different voicings I have been considering to sell one of my S10 to get me a D10 to explore the C6tuning. After studying the standard setup,I would probably have 1 lever that lower 9 F - E and another that lower 8 A - Ab in addition to what is already there.
Just curious if anybody else has tried these changes?

Additional kneelevers on C6?

Bengt,
Lowering of 9 to E has been done. But rarely. I prefer raising it to a G. In fact I have had this change for years. There is a "bass walk" that can be used with this change; using strings 10, 9 and 8 and repeating.
"Canadian Sunset" comes to mind using this bass background (below someone else playing the melody line) really nice.
Lowering of the bottom A to Ab?, I have never seen. But I have seen lowering the top A to Ab, in fact Buddy Emmons does this now. Others lower both A's to Ab.
The most popular changes on C6 (knee levers) are lowering 3 to a B and raising 4 to Bb.
The next two most popular is raising 3 to a C# and as mentioned above, lowering 4 to an Ab. BE has all four of the changes on his C6 neck using 4 knee levers.

I play a lot of 4note voiced chords that have either root, 5th or 3rd as the low note.
One of the voicing I like the sound of is 3rd root 5th 7th (low to high) major/minor/dom type. Finding the minor7 voicing is already there on the open strings. P6 will give the m7b5 on strings 10 8 6 5 which also is a dom9th w/5 in bass. I just could not find a way to get the Maj7 and Dom7 voiced the way I wanted.

I will take a look on those other changes mentioned as well.
