stone, rock, or other than steel bars, anyone??

Hi all
Just recieved some stone/rock bars.
They give way less sustain than my others steel or steel+powder bars.

Its really noticeable, kind of 30% (maybe more) less sustain in all the excerises i did.

That fact alone makes them unusable for me.


Anyone here have similar/different opinions?

Hi.
I wasn't thinking how low.... I'm hoping to find an amp with a beatiful clean tone in a similar range of volume.

low or high volume pedal?

Hi all. I've been practicing with my old Ernie Ball VP Jr. and it's a bit scratchy no matter how much contact cleaner I use, so I thought it's time to try a better pedal. I'm gonna try a Goodrich passive volume pedal, but can't decide High or Low profile. Only play lap steel, no pedal steel guitar, ...
