I want to try using a wound 6th on my Mullen RP SD-12. Does anyone know which bellcrank hole I will have to use for the 1/2 tone raise on P2, and the full tone on P7?
Thanks.

| Bill, if the unwound string was 022, you might want to try 024 or heavier for the wound string. Wound strings are a slightly higher gauge for the same pitch. This will also help keep the pull from being too long. |

David,
I currently have an 020 for my 6th string, so 022 is probably the right size. I'm just looking for which holes in the bellcranks to use, to save me a little time underneath.
Thanks though

I don't know the Mullen bell crank, but for sure you will have to move the rods down (further from the crossrod) by a notch or two. Start with two notches and if it's too much slack, back up to one notch.

Use the same hole as the 3rd string for a wound 6th for P2.
P7 will need to be moved 1 or 2 holes further away from the cross shaft. |

I hope you like the wound string as much as I do.
It is a night and day difference

Has anybody actually used a wound 6'th on a universal with a whole tone raise? That sounds like a looonnngg way to pull that skinny wound string  |
