I could easily build what is being described but 3 rows of polepieces with 8-32 poles and normal sized bobbins will not fit within the 1.83 inch dimension of the standard wide mount base, and of course you would also have to move the mounting holes. I just did a very quick mockup from one of my 3D m...

Since GL has transitioned out of the pickup business and the availabilty has dwindled, I went ahead and analyzed the magnetic and electrical characteristics of the GL line and can build duplicates of any of the models. My versions will be constructed with 3D print plastic parts rather than the injec...

Jeff, if you interested in trying it but cannot get the gripper made locally, I use a lot of 3D prints for pickup parts and could get it printed for you for a small forum donation.

A lot of good suggestions above but one has not been brought up yet except indirectly by Ken Metcalf. A Truetone at 19 K should give a fairly dark tone in that it will be quite rolled off by 4-5 kHz, but if loaded with a high parallel resistance it will have a tall peak at 1.5-2 kHZ since thats wher...

Dan, if interested you can give a call at 314- two six 7 - 4 six two one and I can help you trobleshoot it via phone or facetime.

Will, if no one steps forward with an original I have made clones of these for several guys

I have had knee levers that I had to add a ground wire to prevent static electricity buildup and noise through the pickup. Seems like a long shot to me but you could have a variation of this going on. When you are hooked right to the pickup you have a low resistance path for DC through the pickup. W...

Mather Cabinet is another good choice http://mathercab.com/ .

I had had them make several cabs.

I have a walnut Ripple in long scale, and the tone and sustain are great. It sustains as long as or maybe longer than my frypan, that is completely different construction of course but those are known for long sustain.

John,

I would like a copy of the tab, my email is scott_swartz@hotmail.com. , thanks!

WC I have one I will PM you

Yes you can mount them with the velcro wherever you want on the fretboard, this customer just likes them as shown.

Yes Steve that would be correct, the outer can on twist locks is the same as the negative terminal on a screw. See the pic with the added white line.

The screw type caps (obviously this one is a different value) as in this pic will work fine and they make the clamp to hold them as shown, you would just drill 2 small holes for the clamp, and then make up 2 wire plus eyelet terminals to mount to the screws on the cap. https://bb.steelguitarforum.co...

Are you referring to these?

May have to combine some sections to match what you have but should be able to figure out something.

Tune is great, and I learned something.

That harmonic at 3:19 with the thumbpick stopping the note is super cool, I am going to work on that!

I have built several of these, for example see pic below. These mount with velcro or command strips. It is a cool tone, but I would say the tone difference doesn't work the exactly same as on a 6 string guitar neck to bridge pickup due to typical steel construction and the fact of bar vs frets. http...

Jim,

I have a couple ideas that do not involve a pickup change you could try that dovetail with what Bob is saying, if you want to give me a call I could explain them.

Also note the IVmin position with this change gives a convenient I7 position if you move up two frets. Example, G7 chord / scale at the 5th fret. [tab] G G7 1__________________________ 2__________________________ 3_________________________ 4________________________ 5___3-3A-3AX_____________ 6___3-3B...

I have a single coil model to fit the Stage One, it is the same outline as the stock pickup, but it requires drilling 4 new holes and then mounting the pickup with foam ala the p bass. This pickup uses shorter magnets so it will fit in the available height and still have room for height adjustment a...

If your Leslie pedal has a CV expression pedal input, you can use a few resistors and a switch to duplicate two treadle positions of an expression pedal. You can also add a capacitor to create a ramp when switching speeds. Here is one I built for a Source Audio pedal https://www.thegearpage.net/boar...

If you do not come up with the replacement slide pots, here is what I did to mine. Converted to standard pots by using a rectangular 16 ga steel plate painted black and then 4 screws at the corners to hold it in place.

I am wondering since the Sierra is extrusions that bolt together if continuity in the endplate will factor into the body rigidity and therefore cabinet drop.

If you got the endplate off a skilled machinist and welder could patch in the missing aluminum but might be expensive.
