B to Bb knee lever

Postby Uncle Roy » Fri Nov 13, 2015 10:57 am

I wonder how many here on the forum have the KL B to Bb on their guitar?
If so how much is it used and what is the advantage of this change?

I have it on LKV

I'm still getting my head round it but there is a good video here explaining some of its uses.

Cheers - wondered what it was for. ;)

I've never got round to asking Roy's question - about time I did - thanks for the video link. Something else to play around with. :)
