I agree with Larry. My first pro level guitar was a 75 Pro 1. Whatever tonal advantages it may have had over the many guitars I have owned since were offset by tuning stability, pedal action, etc.

Nashville 400, late nineties, serviced by Peavey two years ago, used very little since….scar on right from cat using it as a scratching post when new….$275, no shipping, will meet within 100 miles of 26377 https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/1312_IMG_0409_2.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.co...

I have used a Taylor acoustic through. a mic’ed Nashville 400, mainly as a monitor…it sounded better than I thought it would sound….I probably tweaked the tone knobs from my steel settings, though….

The A+F combination with the resulting sixth string drop bothered me more than the B+C drop. A compensator added to the F raise made for a much sweeter sounding chord. Just for the heck of it, I backed off the compensated tuner and tried the Bill C. Buntin method to put some tension on the changer a...

I use a small piece of soft rubber hose, shoved in horizontally.

Reposting my Derby…SD 10 3X5 with Derby volume pedal…nice guitar, I played a theater show over the weekend and the Truetone pickup was too noisy…replaced with the original E66..also installed fifteen new nylon tuners…new clutches in rear legs. Emmons pedals with E lowers on RKL….raise 1 and lower 6 ...

I had been tuning to Peterson’s SE9….playing along with U-tube videos, I found OE9 to be more in tune with most of them….also found older recordings to be all over the place, tuning wise.

I think my Derby had two bell cranks for that change. I put both changes on a single bell crank and it worked, F#-G# and D#-E…The long pull to G# and the additional resistance with the second string pull made me think twice about the second pull and I ended up eliminating it. Perhaps the first strin...

Still have the Rains and Derby. The Rains is probably the overall best guitar of the bunch….

The LKR lever has to be removed to get to the screws on the center rail. I put a drop of penetrating oil on the spring loaded pins and was able to push them in with needle-nose pliers, pulling up on the cross shaft to hold the pin in place while I got another bite with the pliers. The whole job look...

I think Larry has the right idea….put a bend in the pull rod …that would have eliminated my clearance problem.

Tommy, The half stop mechanism can be left attached when you lift the center rail. I changed the E lowers on my Derby, also moved the floor pedals right one space. I did not encounter the rounded cross rod…swap it for another one, possible. I did have a clearance issue when positioning the 1st strin...

Holding for now. Please close.

Do you still sell the chips for the mod?

Thanks

Nice Derby SD 10 3&5 with Derby volume pedal. Shown with Truetone pickup, will probably change for E66, original pickup, and a good choice for this guitar…Emmons pedals, lower E on right, will change to left if requested…new clutches on rear legs…Dunlop pot in volume pedal…nice guitar, sounds gr...

I wore out the record with Bad Weather…still love the steel on that one. I am also big Jim Messina fan. Although my introduction to Poco was Good Feelin To Know, to me the quintessential Poco album is Deliverin, and Messina’s influence.

Dave Grafe…..yes!
