All of them   Sorry, couldn't resist. I don't know but I'm sure someone here does. Sounds like a baritone tuning of some kind on the outside neck.
Notice how LW told him to smile. What a player. Always loved his playing. Great song too....South. |

I've been trying to guess what that bass tuning is on his front neck on some of the older tunes?
Anybody think they know I'd love to hear.

Guess nobody knows what the bass tuning is?
I've ordered a whole bunch of flat wound strings from juststrings.com from gauges 0.35 down to 0.80 and will try to figure something out.
I think it sounds cool as can be.
I'm thinking of this to start with, Kind of an A6th+7th;
If this don't work out well I'll just have to mess around with it.

It might be the one Leon McAuliffe used on the outside neck of his quad.
