Whatever works for you, but it's seems like if pedal a raises 5 and 10 then the knee that raises the e's would be better moving to the left as the ankle leans left on the a pedal as is often the case.Especially if it's the left knee leaver. Also same principle could apply to the b pedal, (ankle lean...

Congratulations, You go Fred !

John, Would like a copy of Your Cheating Heart. e-mail is in your pm. Thanks

Samuel, check your private message.

John, Would certainly like to have a copy of YESTERDAY.Thanks for making learning easier. Will send e-mail on private message. Thanks much.

Larry, Would you please share any more info on the tone studio down load and application of it. I have one of those amps and find myself never satisfied with the tone, always adjusting knobs. Like the light weight and low price.

6 months , I couldn't tune up at 6 months. You also get an A for guts. Please give a progress report around 12 months maybe on this same thread. Might be interesting and an illustration of what is possible.

Check your p.m.

Come on , you could just take one of the screws to the store and buy one that fits !

I suppose much has been discussed in the past about oil type . Speaking from experience it is wise to use a proper oil , there are many I suppose that are good.But, it has been my experience that any lubricant that may have any vegetable oil mixed in will gum up later on. Like rubbing your hand acro...

Have you seen the videos on YouTube ?

Plus tax !

Donny, Your post affirmed what I suspected. So then any discussion comparing trebel response between a nickel string set and a stainless string set would apply only to the wound strings since the plain strings are not defined as either. If this is the case then the trebel aspect of the comparison wo...

Are the plain strings ss or nickel in a nickel string set ?

Check your pm.

Check your pm. Sent last night.

Would only try to move over one space with an offset bent rod. Would need another Bellcrank to move over more than one string. Excessive bent rod would probably stretch out. You reference the bellcrank being near the rounded end of the cross rod at the front apron to line up with strings 1 and 2. If...

Same thing on my derby. All I did was put the bell crank at the end of the square close enough to hang on before slipping off onto the round part. then bend an off set on the pull rod to bring it on over to line up with the changer finger. Off set bend can be anywhere along the length of the rod whe...

I hope y'all are right, I just ordered one.

Kevin, Read your post with interest and played the video. For 33 years I operated coin machines ( juke boxes, pinballs, coin op pool tables ect). Even though I was extremely glad when I got out of the business I can still recall memories of those years both good and bad. Many many times patrons rela...

Even thought it's Christmas I still have two cents worth to add to the info that Jeff Highland posted. The capacitance of anything between the pickup and the amp has an effect on the tone. Cables are the topic, different brands may or may not have the same capacitance rating. Also the rating may be ...

Rod diameter, rod size, brand of guitar ,cut threads, rolled threads, on and on , bottom line is just go by the diameter of the threaded area. Does simply using the diameter of the threaded area of the rod render the other specifications not necessary as far as the selection of a nut with the correc...

Be sure you have a good and full understanding of the number system. Not knowing it is akin to trying to get an education while not being able to read or spell.

This Derby also has the gle66 pu. I've used and have on hand cobra coil ,ghs and sit strings. Might be a good time to a-b test for and settle on the best for this particular guitar. Anyway can't get over the tone. You know what you're used to and really notice when it's suddenly better ,as in this c...

Just acquired a sd10 Derby.Played it some and then wrote the check and brought it on home. Was ok with the tone on the purchase day.Figgered it could only sound better at home through my amp and accessories. Was something surprised with the tone, it was noticeably better than what I was accustomed t...
