I'm planning to add 2 verticals to my LeGrande. One for sure will be the B-Bb change, but need some ideas on what to put on the other. As I have never used anything beyond my 3x4 configuration on the E9th neck, hope my buddies here can give me a little guidance. This is what I have, (also shows my soon-to-have B-Bb vertical):
<font face="monospace" size="3"><pre>

F#------------------------------------G#
Eb------------------------------------------D/C#
G#--------------------------A
E------F-----Eb-----------------F#
B-----------------Bb----C#------C#
G#--------------------------A
F#
E------F-----Eb
D-------------------------------------------C#
B-----------------Bb----C#
</pre></font>My other new vertical will be LKV2. I'm going to put the Franklin 4th on myself at some point, but don't have it done yet.

Thanks for the help folks!

Ricky,
if I were you, I´d put on another knee lever only if I knew before what´s the change that I´m missing right now. That is, if you hear something in your head that you feel you just can´t do without that particular change.(OK, sounds like I´m trying to get wise right now...)
I´ve read in another thread that you like Mooney, so why not make it the 4th string E to F#? I´ve had that one on a vertical too on my S-12 and I´ve found it´s a good position also if you want to play those combinations with A and B that are just unavailable with the C pedal.

Good luck, Joe H.

Hey Ricky; this is the copedant you posted; and below that is my ideas for ya.

Thanks loads guys!

Ricky you will love this copedant pal...more than life itself...
Have fun with it; and there are more variations and licks on that copedant than any of them I've seen....well except for the one I came up with for the Fulawka I'm getting in a few weeks now
