The Steel Guitar Forum

Thanks in advance if you can help me out. The quick single note triplets near the end of the solo. That's the only part I need.

Thanks guys, I've always wondered if that organ sound was the steel. Now 30 years later.......

I have a Hartke aluminum coned speaker I was thinking about sticking it in my Session 400 for the heck of it to see what the steel sounds like through it. It's a great sounding bass speaker. Anyone ever tried your steel in this type of combo before? Thanks in advance for your input.

I'm with you on that matter Dennis. My MSA had the easiest knees to operate, being on the back side. When I got my Emmons I had a hard time getting used to the right knees being in the middle of the cabinet. (I still love it anyway though).

Great sounding steel too. I don't recognize the fretmarkers on it, do you know the builder/brand of the guitar?

Hi Andreas, my first really good steel was also an MSA D-10. The guitar was excellent mechanically but the pickups were, IMO, not very good. I replaced the E9th neck with a Bill Lawrence, (can't remember the number), and a George L's E-66 on the C6th neck. The improvement was beyond my greatest expe...

Thank you Erv, Dave, and Jim. Nothing will take my Emmons' place but I'm always interested in the tunings, etc. of it's predecessors .

Just admiring a 1957 Gison Electraharp on eNay and was wondering about it's tuning and pedal changes. Anyone please fill me in? Thanks alot.

Looking for Jeff's book "30 Intros for the Pedal Steel Guitar" for gifts to my students this season. I have twelve students. Please inform Me of prices and ordering info. Thanks and Happy Holidays to you and your families.

I like the Jagwires also Hook, those, and the S.I.T.'s last longer than others I've used in the past. Thanks for the reply, and BTW, great C6 work on "You Win Again".
Thanks for the info Jack, I don't have time to visit the forum too often and I don't want to beat a dead horse for sure.

What gauge's do you use for your 3rd and 6th strings? Do you like plain or wound on the 6th string? What brand of strings do you use the most?
I use Buddy's signature S.I.T. with a plain .22 and .11 for my G#'s. I like the eveness the plain .22 has with the B string.
Thanks in advance for your input.

hi there Paul, what's the weather like up your way this time-a-year?

Bob, I use a Roland KB-500 (which sounds like the amp you're describing) with my Session 400 in stereo.
Keyboard amps are basically little p.a. systems. With some reverb and a discriminating ear on the highs (because of the horn) you can get a good tone for steel.

anyone using a Line 6 or any of the other modeling amps to play steel through?
Thanks in advance for any feedback on this.

My matchbro bar was stolen last weekend. Any advice on what else to use is appreciated. What are they made of?
Also, do you change your amp/effects settings for a "better Dobro sound?" Thanks in advance.

Ann, I'm gonna try to make it to the Destin show. Rusty's one of my favorites. Here's Rusty playing his Mellobar on stage in Jacksonville, FL. in 1985. I talked with him before the show and will never forget the graciousness of the man. http://members.delphi.com/msa4/ry1.jpg ------------------ www.R...
