Bob, Tom has been using this set-up for years now. 4 floors and 7 knees. I own one of his ZB SD-11 that I bougt from him in 96'.

Here it is:

P1 Raises 7 & 10 whole tone
P2 Raises 5 & 10 whole tone
P3 raises 3 & 6, 1/2 tone
P4 raises 4 & 5, whole tone
LKL(out) raises 4, whole tone
LKL(in) raises 4 & 8, 1/2 tone
LKV lowers 3 & 6, 1/2 tone
LKR lowers 4 & 8, 1/2 tone
RKL lowers 5 & 10, 1/2 tone
RKR (out) raises 1 & 7, 1/2 tone
RKR (in) lowers 2, 1/2 and whole tone.

Hope this is what you are needing. I hve been useing this set-up on all of my guitars since about 94' or 95'. Itreally works well for me.

This looks like a very nice setup. I like Tom Brumley a lot, too. I often wondered about one thing: The 7th string whole-step raise is quite clear, but why does he raise the 10th string along with it? Are there any recordings of Tom that feature the use of that combination?
