My New Justice Pro-Lite

I just got my new Justice Pro-Lite and am thoroughly enjoying it. Ron Anderson did an amazing job on this machine. It fits like a glove and the response is "snappy" and smooth. The 705 pickup has power and tone that's, honestly, overwhelming at first... like a sportscar. It has tons of sus...

Boss Katana has a new Bass Amp!

Okay...
as a Boss Katana user I am curious how people feel about using
a bass amp for PSG?
The larger of the Katana Bass amps is a 210 closed back with compressor and effects...

thoughts?

Carter Lift

So.. my Carter S 10 was built 1" under standard. I'm not quite that size so... I needed to raise it. (please see the pics) I'm wondering where I could get the spring loaded clips that hold the bottom of the pulls to the ball joint. Any ideas? https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/20694...

A question of bars

I've been playing pedal steel for roughly 8 months and have worked with 3 different instructors... each instructor says I need to change from my preferred bar, a Schubb SH 1, to a standard PSG bar (which I hate)! After being told the tone would be BETTER with the bar I did a side by side spectrum an...

Retrofit or Replacement Tuners for Fender Sho-Bud

So.. a few years back Kluesen announced at NAMM they would be manufacturing replacement 8- and 10- string tuning machines and pans for Fender steel...

with the passing of time.. umm.. NOTHING.

Has anyone here found or attempted to retrofit or re-engineer the tuners on a Fender or Fender Sho Bud?

In my understanding, it was primarily about volume in the pre-electric ( and pre- resonator ) era. ...
