Curious if someone has presets to DL as well, any updates?

Somehow failed to get any credit to the great work of:

Don Pawlak - Dale Watson and His Lonestars: Live at The Big T Roadhouse, Chicken S#!+ Bingo Sunday

I found a vintage Oahu 390k on the side of the road yesterday for $40. Very clean for the age, but a bit of 70 year old grime on there. How do y'all clean old fabric covered brown Era Gibson amps and the like? What will be gentle enough on the grillclothe to not damage the design? Any tips are much ...

Look into replacing with TT-15! I did exactly that. Got a screamin deal workin with Dale Rottacker for the 400 and eventually the TT-15 that went in it. Had Bruce at Brown Dog Amps in Poulsbo, WA get everything wired up, upgraded and replaced power caps, did a tone mod, and a few other upgrades. Th...

Good stuff! That'll be on shuffle and repeat for quite some time!

Have my Emmons off with Lynn Stafford getting ran through with a fine-toothed comb, in the meantime, I was kinda hoping to pick up a basic affordable 8 string non-pedal steel to start working on some C6. Not looking for anything fancy and seriously considering the $225 ash bodied LX with legs and ba...

I bet some polished petrified wood would be really nice.

I as well ticked the paperback box, but would likely buy the hardcopy if it were available.

I was scrolling through local CL postings and ran into a white and black pre 1950 B6 that appears to be fairly clean with original p/u, asking $1000. Reverb prices seem like they are somewhere around $1500 or above. Is the asking price reasonable? I'm interested but was kinda thinking of shooting lo...

Just missing Luxury Liner. Great selection of tunes with some very tasty steel w...

Found another:

JD Call- Pure Prarie League - Songs of Pure Harmony, Alive in America 1974 - once he puts the Banjer down

Man! That's an amazing picture!

I was Youtube diving into old Poco videos and studying Rusty just 4 days ago, and like often happens, fell into a multiple day loop of early Poco albums. Literally was planning my next trip back home to Missouri with the express purpose of finding a few days to travel south down to Steelville to mee...

That's two recommendations for the medium decay three spring type reverb tank. I'm likely gonna be doing that here soon. How do you feel this has changed or upgraded the reverb or did you just need to replace the old worn one and landed on that?

I recently upgraded my late 70s Session 400 with a Double T speaker too! I really dig it. I also replaced the reverb tank and I couldn't be happier. That's all I have left to do is replace the reverb tank and the bushings. It's pretty loose and crashin when bumped. What'd you end up going with? I t...

Will give it a listen, the original is one of the most underrated albums of all time!

I traded that old speaker and a Session 500 for all of the work done on this amp. Bruce seemed to think he could get a new basket for it.

It's called the StroboPLUS HDC and includes a custom color tuning display, over 200 Sweetened Tunings, advanced metronome with polyrhythmic functions and a gig timer.

I got a response back from Peterson this morning on my request for information.

Brought home the old mid 70's Session 400 today from my amp tech. Started out with a bad speaker, and thought I might as well dive into the rest of the innards whilst it's there. Replaced the old shallow basket 1501 Black Widow with a much lighter Eminence Double T 15 Travis Toy signature. Did a gri...

Don't know a thing, just discovered it as a Reverb recommendation, and thought it was pretty cool to see a Sho-Bud flattop acoustic.

1978 Sho Bud "Diamond" Acoustic Guitar - New Old Stock - Rare! https://reverb.com/item/39908893-1978-s ... stock-rare

FOLLOWING...just about bought the HD last night. Worth waiting a bit for something new?

I do covet that Martin Merle Travis, in fact it's probably what sparked me wanting to do a neck swap in the first place. But there aren't a lot of those layin around anymore. I know the guy who got the last one in MF's warehouse just last year. But there's just something way cool about a big blonde ...

I was kinda thinking the same. He seems to be kinda bearin that torch a bit these days. Been wanting to build a Bigsbyesque partscaster with some of his components for awhile now.

This may not be overly lucrative, but I like asking questions of this community more than other's I've seen. Would anyone happen to know anyone that makes reproduction Bigsby necks that would fit a J200? The new inspired by Gibson line is calling me, but I would really like to be able to get a Hank ...

That's a gorgeous Emmons, it's like a siamese twin sibling of my single. Curious, are the fret markers naturally white?
