I play a "72 fat or flat back P/P which I understand has a less then average cab drop issue. So I may not be aware of how much of a nuisance it may be to deal with. I did play a Mullen a ways back but dont remember much of a problem then either. Now, being a p/p tone junkie, Ive always had my sites on the hybrid, but ive noticed A few of the 'greats' have opted for he 'no cab drop' model.
I have never played an ax with "no cab drop"
feature and have no experience with what differnce or benefits might come to bare on one's playing. Im interrested to hear anyones views or opinions on this or why you would choose one over the other. |

| So I guess you can't get the no cabinet drop device on the Zum hybrid?? |

I think that you are correct. A guy I know bought a new Zum and decided that he wanted the no cabinet drop rather than the hybrid changer. I recall saying that you could not get both.

The hybrid can not be built with the anti cab device.
Ron L got the idea for the Legrande 3 anti force device from the PP I think.
IMHO there are too much focus on the cab drop issue, but I have to admit that some steel do have a lot of cab drop.
Zum and Emmons do not have any cab drop that should be a problem.
I think that the only reason Bruce designed an anti tuning device are all the talk about it here on the forum.
Ohh... I just bought a Stroboflip and it`s 30 times more accurate that any other tuner. Now I can see some cab drop in my Zum hybrid. I can`t hear it but it`s there...
Maybe I should throw away the Stobo...

Steve,
You can't get both on the same guitar. I received a new Zum D10 from Bruce and had to make a choice at that piont. I chose the anti-cab. drop. The guitar has great mechanics and sound.
Thanks Terry |

Right, I know you cant have both. Im just trying to resolve which way to go. As far as cab drop on my P/P, there is some. Sometimes there is the need to tweak the bar angle to some degree to 'true' up the chord or two note interval. Usually its a slight angle nose forward (AB pedals down). I would guess that with no cab drop less of that would be neccessary and bar would be more straight up correct?
Incidentally, D. Jernigan mentioned that his new Zum with no-cab drop had a little more brighter sound. Where as with a hybrid I would think you would go more in the fullness, mid direction.fwiw[This message was edited by Steven Welborn on 11 September 2006 at 11:50 AM.] |

| I tune the cab drop out of my Push Pull by tuning the E's with the A+B pedals down, then releasing the pedals, and tuning the the rest of the strings (by ear) to the E's (which have gone up in pitch slightly). |
