Want to tune my JP6 down to ADGCEA.

Quote:
In most countries using this system, the letter H is used to represent what is B natural in English, the letter B represents the B♭, and Heses represents the B♭♭ (not Bes, which would also have fit into the system). Belgium and the Netherlands use the same suffixes, but applied throughout to the notes A to G, so that B♭ is Bes. Denmark also uses h, but uses bes instead of heses for B♭♭.

wow its summer vacation and im learning something.

RocketRalf: thank you, you posted some new info for me.
About the pickup - yes I do have D-Sonic in bridge and I've observed it is turned around on 7-string version. I wonder why.
About using 7-string or Bari instead... I am a distinct 6-stringer and use many chords for acoustic guitar that utilize all 6 strings - so 7th is too much, especially when I sing along. And Bari - I thought about it. But glad I did not buy it for the scale is way too long - 27.5'' instead of 25.5. I often play chords with my fingers stretched across space of 5 or 6 frets so even 25.5 sometimes seems too long.
..But I'm really impressed with clean sound and I am going to order a 12-string acoustic baritone soon to one of Moscow or Petersburg guitar-makers.

This is what DiMarzio says about the pickup orientation:

Installation direction makes a noticeable difference in the sound, particularly with overdriven amps. With the solid bar toward the bridge, the sound is a little brighter and better-defined, and this is the direction we recommend for heavy strings and low tunings. With the adjustable polepieces toward the bridge, the sound is warmer and a touch louder, and we think this works best for standard tuning and more solo-oriented playing.

Yes, I'm not a solo oriented one. I'll make it.
You have got a lot of wisdom, thanks.

lol I just lose too much time reading about EBMMs! You're welcome. Sound clips, if you can record them, would be an awesome choice to contribute back to the forum

We are recording now a bunch of songs, so I'm going to post one or two to the forum as soon as they will be ready.

OMG, I turned it around and the cable from the switch to pickup appeared half an inch too short
Very cable-saving those from DiMarzio are!

Hurra! Made it longer! Soldered to those 5 cables ones of the same kind so the pickup lain down perfectly.
Result: I like the sound! It has become brighter and more clear on lows. Can't wait for the recording to be over, and posting here 4 small sound clips:
