The gig went very well. Scott Gerber showed up and sat in for a couple songs. Sweet!
It was the first extended gig for my Desert Rose S-8, and the guitar performed perfectly. The Rangers' repertoire is mostly country blues and western swing, so it's not surprising that the D6th-based copedent worked well. It also handled Scott's Bakersfield-flavored rendition of "Pick Me Up On Your Way Down", to everyone's delight. I think this is a keeper.

| b0b, does the A to B raise cause any problem with the string that's already tuned to B? |

Billy, I do get a slight sympathetic vibration from it if I don't mute it with my little finger. I'm used to using that muting technique from my E9th, where I raise the middle F# to G#.
Also, I often use RKR to raise B to C when I use the first pedal, and that keeps the ghost note away.

Thanks for covering b0b!
Looks like the Rangers last gig is this Saturday the 21st at the Ace in the Hole Pub. Maybe I should take my Fender 400 8 string out for a test run!

| Don McClellan had a similar problem on his B tuned Kline. He solved it by having the 6th note go up a half step along with the other raises. I guess that would eliminate the need for the extra blocking. |

Billy - that's what I do with my RKR fairly often (raise the 6th tone to a b7th). I'm used to doing the same physical move on E9th, where RKR lowers D# to D. Most of the time with pedals down I want that b7th note. There are other times when I really want the doubled note, though, so I wouldn't want to gang that raise onto pedal 1.
Dave - I was sorry to hear that the Rhythm Rangers are breaking up. The crowd response last weekend was really good.

Me too. I guess me giving my "two weeks notice" was the cause!  I offered suggestions for replacements but I guess the gigs aren't coming in and some of the others are ready for a break too.
