If you play more chords than single notes on strings six through nine (on E9), the biggest nuisance will be having to hold a knee lever in and adjusting to the new interval spacing. I sat down behind a U-12 one time and it took about three minutes to know that it wouldn't work for me. There are advantages to either way but interpreting them is a personal thing and left to the individual's tastes. If a person's reasons for changing are compelling enough, those differences I mentioned become less of a problem. Last changed: August 02, 2015 |
