His six albums on Capitol have been remastered and made available on streaming platforms recently. I hope one day they will release them on cd also.

Hello Ricky, can you maybe tell a little bit more about the experiments with Jerry Wallace? Like which variables were involved, number of windings, maybe winding patterns etc.?

After seeing this two songs with Faron Young in the movie Road to Nashville i became a big fan.To my ears the solos in these were very original.

Dicky Overbey to me was a unique and really great steelguitarist because he always played with such intensity and soul. He was one of my steel-heroes. When i first saw him with Faron Young in Road to Nashville i was blown away, to my ears it was "different", steel with a rock&roll atti...

BearFamily has two new dvd's. I think some of the material wasn't available before(?).
Here you can see which shows are on the dvd's:

This one has been a favorite of mine, and i've always wondered who it was, Weldon Myrick?

I had the same problem, and cleaned the pots as described in this link:

(if the link is not working: i googled Roland gp100 data wheel)
Now they work fine again.

Roger, thanks for your reply, i did see that site, and it doesn't match with what i heard from Peavey some years ago, therefore my remark about confusing information. By the way, i started this topic because i somehow couldn' find the original topic:(1501-4Dt, by Dan Beller-Mckenna), this morning af...

Someone posted a question if some Peavey 1501-4dt speakers were made with a kevlar cone, and when i tried to delete a double post from myself it seems i deleted the whole topic, my excuses. Anyway, my Session 400 Limited came with this speaker, and when i asked Mike Brown from Peavey about it he tol...

Someone did post a question if the Peavey 1501-4dt speaker ever was made with a kevlar cone, and how it could be recognized. When trying to delete a double post of myself it seems i deleted the whole topic, my excuses. Anyway: My Session 400 limited came with this speaker, and i asked Mike Brown fro...

Hello Dan, My Session 400 limited came with the 1501-4dt (small white sticker on the speaker), and i asked Mike Brown from Peavey about it (this was in 2000). He told me that my speaker has a kevlar cone, and that Peavey makes a version with a paper cone, called the 1501-4sb (shallow basket). My und...

Hello Niklas, is this pedal still available? (i did send you an email, but i'm not sure it arrived)

Is it possible that the speaker plays an important role? I have one which originally came with an 1501-4dt, which has a kevlar kone. This speaker could sound a little bit harsh, and on stage "boxy" to me. From earlier posts on this forum i understood that Peavey wasn't entirely happy with ...

In 2002 i asked mr. Emmons on this forum which amplifier he used on "Sound of a Heartache" from Johnny Bush, it was a Standel, and after some confusion he conluded he used that amp also in California.

My Session 400 is producing a very loud hiss from the output section: the problem started after i resoldered the connections between the reverb-pot and the reverb-in-plug (there were problems with an bad connection) When i powered up the amp it produced a constant loud noise, mainly hiss. I immediat...

Hoi Chris, good to hear from you again. I simply think that this music, and especially Charleton's playing is not as well-known as it deserves to be over here, anyway i overlooked it for 10 years while l'd been searching pretty hard for cd's/lp's with this type of playing.

Jody, that's correct, they are both doing some things, Wade Ray plays in each show.

This is for fans of Buddy Charleton: ET record shop has a new dvd out with 4 complete Ernest Tubb tv shows from the sixties. There are a lot of close-ups of Buddy's hands, and 4 guitar/steel instrumentals! Great music from Ernest Tubb and guests, all backed-up by the Troubadours (What a band!). This...

Buddy Charleton is truly one of the greatest steelplayers around, and i'm not sure if his mid-sixties recording with Ernest Tubb are as well known as they deserve to be. The solos are among the most beautiful and sensitive i've ever heard. I only discovered them recently and had been looking for ste...

My brother is a psysiotherapist, and he advised me after similar problems to try to keep my shoulders, arms, hand/fingers as relaxed and loose as possible. Since then i've found a playing position that works for me by first putting my hand on the strings so that i can both pluck and mute them as eas...
