Hello friends, Just wondering...I have an older Black Box with the Vari-Z Control and an attached power supply made by Motorola. There is a discernable hum in the transformer not the Box when you plug it in. I don't really remember that in past Black Boxes I've had. Any one notice this, too, or has ...

Thank you all for your help and input. It is much appreciated and I will pass the info on to my friend
Best Regards

Hello Friends...I have a question I could use some help with. A friend of mine has a 1978 Emmons Denim model. It's a S10 with 3 and 4. I haven't come across many of these and so I don't know if it is a special model...it is the lacquered model so that helps but he has no case for it. He is wondering...

I recently purchased this Steeltronics Steel Guitar pickup just a few months ago...excellent tone and has the capability of individually balancing each string. It will fit a narrow mount surrounding like in a Sho~Bud. It is rated at 17k and bright but well balanced ...Asking 90 dollars and 5 shippin...

Hello Mr. Hyde
I would like to take one of your pickups. If I had my druthers and it makes no difference to you I would pick the one on the left in your top picture. I'm assuming it has the three tabs, too. I will wait to hear from you. OK.
Best Regards,
Mike Heaphy

Hello Gerald,
I will take this Black Box if it's still available. I have a friend that could use it.

Hello Mike...just wanted to say "Thank You So Much" for your very kind words...that made my day. It was a fun song to cover with all that great steel going on. Very happy you liked it. Best Regards and thanks again...Mike

Thank you so much, Zena and wasn’t late at all..That looks just fine, I will take it. Thank you again for the shots and info. How would you like payment ?
Best Regards to you
and yours

Just though I'd post this home studio recording of Nothing Was Delivered...my friends son played bass and electric guitars on this and that was a treat...also a hat tip to Scott at Steeltronics because his new pickup in in my old Sho~Bud here...recorded through a Nashville 400...also a bit of a trib...

Hello my friend...I will take that Black Box if it has that Variable tone control...did you say free shipping...just asking...Thanks so much and best regards

Hello Fellow Steelers..I have a mid 80's Sho~Bud pickup for sale. I changed it out recently just for the hell of it. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. It is in used but fine condition with plenty of wire to snake down into your guitar. I'm asking $65.00 and I can ship for 12 dollars but yo...

Hello Joe... Yes,the old standard.. Thanks so much for your answer...yeah, I love how there are so many variables these days. Every player is so particular about his/ her sound..from strings to effects, to amps, to pickups...even picks themselves...just great and that is what makes every player so u...

Hey, Dan...Then you know exactly what I am talking about...this pickup does have a nice edge to it...I can also see why you would want to replace that other pickup...if it doesn't sit directly under the strings I would imagine some degree of volume and tone might suffer...at least a bit. Glad you ar...

Hello, John...Thank you so much for your input. I appreciate that. Yes, there is definitely a difference and they both sound good...thanks, too for you kind words...always working to improve...Best Regards,
Mike

Hello again, Steel Friends...I've answered all three great comments and hope they post. I'm kind of new to the writing part of the Forum. Thank you all for your thoughts on this...Thank you, too, to Scott for sending and helping get this terrific pickup up and running ...I'll post another cover I'm ...

Hello Fellow Steelers...This posting is for Mr. Scott Swartz and anyone thinking of changing pickups. About a month ago I decided to make a change to my old Sho~Bud...no particular reason but I was just looking to freshen up the sound...I did some research and decided to try a Steeltronics for sever...

Hello David,
Mike Heaphy here. I know this is an old posting that I am replying to but I don't know if you sold your e66 or not...Just wondering, is it still available ? Be well and thanks in advance
Mike

Hello Chuck, Mike Heaphy here...I am interested in your E66 pickup but I have a question or two , if I may. I would need the narrow version of this pick-up and does it still have all the screw holes on it...especially the 2 north and the one south one...that would match the old Sho~Bud pick-up I hav...

It might have been a filter envelope, those were making waves early 70’s. i’m hearing some flange on acoustic guitar too, that was new wave back then also. Lovely song I have never heard that before. Thank you, Larry, I never thought of an envelope. I had never used one and I will have to try t...

You are right, Skip... I did get them mixed up...Thanks so much...Mike

Pretty sure it's Sneaky. Don't believe Pete Drake played on that album at all. (Did he actually play on any of Linda's albums?) Is it possible you're confusing "Sneaky Pete" (Kleinow) with Pete Drake? You are correct, Jim. I did get them confused and it makes more sense being Sneaky...Tha...

According to Wikipedia it's "Sneaky Pete" Kleinow, not Pete Drake. Before recording the album, Ronstadt hired guitarist Glenn Frey to assemble a touring band; Frey did so with members of drummer Don Henley’s band Shiloh, who were signed to Amos Records at the same time as Frey’s previ...

It's Sneaky Pete, recorded live at the Troubadour, March 1971. UPDATE: I see B0b just beat me to posting the same thing. This, per the never-wrong internet. But it actually sounds like Sneaky Pete to me, so I'm going with the net on this one. He's got more swirly, trippy effects in his arsenal than...
