Nice to see a fellow DADGAD HG player (though calling myself a HG player is not yet entirely accurate!)! I wonder if there are more of "us" out there?
I keep my Timberline T30HGc in DADGAD with subs tuned to "modified Bennett" tuning, that is GABCE (instead of D) G. I installed sharping levers to the subs so I have access to half-step changes in the basses at the flick of a switch. With all of the levers down my bass tuning is actually GABbCEF# but I generally keep the Bb and F# levers up to B and G. I need the levers because I use partial capos that frequently alter keys/modes, eg. a capo on the 4 high strings at the 3rd fret yields an open string tuning of DAFBbCF so being able to get Bb, C and F basses needs to be possible.
I've had the Timberline for just over a year now and have had no problems with it (and it was relatively easy, if a bit anxiety-inducing, to install the sharping levers).
