I played a gig on a small stage this weekend and didn't have room to set my speaker cabinets side by side, so I stacked them. I was surprised at the sound I got. It sounded pretty good! I use a PFll & MV 500 and two cabs with 1501-4 BWs. Have any of you split speaker players stacked your cabinet...

Kent, I was like you, played only Pedal Steel. I wanted something to play when camping that didn't need to be amplified...I bought a Regal RD-45 Square neck to start with. Musicians Friend $349. Received it today and now all I need to do is learn how to play it. Hope this helps...

Stephen, I bought a Regal RD 45 Squareneck.I figgured it would do me to get started. I will only be using it when we go camping and everyone has acoustic guitars. I play 3-4 weekends a month with band, Remington U-12, ProFex ll, MV500, twin speaker cabs with 1501-4 BW's. Learning dobro will be a lit...

I am new to "dobros", play Remington U-12. I want to tune the dobro to E or A-A6th as I know these Fret positions. Using the "Little" string as the first string what gauges would you recommend ?

In MHO the Nash 400 is a fine amp, However, when you A-B it alongside the old Session 500. The 500 wins hands down. Like a buddy of mine told me"you only carry it for 5 or 10 minutes but you play it for 4 hours" I'll just keep on bitching about the weight and liking the sound.. http://stee...

Boy, I sure feel for all you "kids" having to carry the old 500..Wait till you hit 65!! and tote it onto those stages with 3-4 steps. http://www.b0b.com/forum/wink.gif http://www.b0b.com/forum/wink.gif But they still sound the best to me.. ------------------ Chuck.. ."Every day's a Ho...

Joe, I use the 3 cord hook-up on both my Nash 400 and Session 500. I use the Hilton pedal. I have been using it on gigs for several months now and as I have posted before it has improved my sound and overall playing more than ANY other pedal or effects unit I have ever used..I don't know a thing abo...

Hi Jeff, I have been using my Hilton Pedal for about two months now. I find that it gives you clean, natural tone, and will sustain "all day long". I have used effects in the past and tried different setings on my amp, different amps, different picks, different bars. This foot pedal has he...

Well, I saw ONE bright spot on the "awards" http://www.b0b.com/forum/smile.gif show. IMHO the only decent sound after George and Allen was Asleep At The Wheel. Cindy Cashdollar was playing the devil out of her steel and the man or woman on the mixing board had her turned down so low you co...
