Sure, this thread'll get locked up before too long, but I couldn't resist.

On my old 8-pedal Fender 1000 I have 1st pedal raising E to F, then the A,B,C pedals, and the 8th pedal lowering the E's. Have to take your foot on and off of the volume pedal, but its not such a bad skill to develop; in fact it's become a useful technique for me even when I play my other guitar whi...

I have and play a '58 Fender 1000 and have compared it side by side to a '68 Emmons and a '70 Professional. The Fender's tone and timbre is very different, I suppose in part due to the the longer scale, the fixed bridge and nut, and the wrap-around aluminum frame. A glassy tone is how I describe it....

D-10 vs. U-12 is a pointless one Or how about Emmons push-pull guitars vs. everything else (or how I'd rather push my push-pull than pull your all-pull).....or something.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Craig Holden on 02 September 2003 at 07:22 PM.]...

.....good one

What year is it? This guitar has cut-tail necks and does not have a bolt-on changer. Has the Emmons sticker on the front, not the raised badge. Fretboards are black/chrome. Would like to know approx. date on this guitar.

Thanks!

We have a killer in our midst....."Killer" Kowalski, that is. Helluva nice guy and a helluva player. I've been friends with Kurt for several years now, and we trade gear back and forth all the time. Recently I sent him "Pitiful Pearl", my beloved MSA Classic SS in return for an o...

Some of you may or may not know, Bobby is my father. Not biologically speaking, but mine is gone, and he has tried to raise me right. He's also one of the finest players, builders, and steel mechanics on the planet, and he is THE man to see on push-pulls. I ain't just blowing smoke cuz I love him......

That's enough "help". How do you shut this thing off?

.....what?

First off, I don't want any snide comments about getting a newer steel http://steelguitarforum.com/wink.gif -- I have one, thank you very much http://steelguitarforum.com/tongue.gif -- but I have taken a shine to my old Fender 1000, and it's the guitar I sit down to most often and enjoy playing very...

Yep, it is a sweet sounding guitar.....I love it! I found an ART MP tube mic preamp that has 1/4" jacks in and out. I think that's the ticket, but I haven't tried it yet. I got this guitar towards the end of the show...nobody showed much interest in it evedently.....I saw a guy pick it up and a...

I recently (this past weekend at the Arlington guitar show) aquired a 1969 Gibson Les Paul Professional which has the low z pickups in it. Curious to know what preamp I can use to bring the signal up and where I might find one. I know these guitars originally came with a special cord that had a tran...

I have a ?? year 1000 which has the changer that pulls the strings across a fixed bridge, the larger pickup, and chrome stamped-steel pedals. I've noticed in my search for parts that other 400 and 1000 models have different pickups (smaller), changers (which incorporate moving string fingers), and c...

What in the wide, wide world of sports is this thing? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=898949086 Doesn't look like a homemade garage job, but it definately gets a "10" in the weird department.....look at the undercarriage!!! Would LOVE to know how this thing works and...

Surely the copedent CAN be changed? Someone please explain....I have wondered about this for some time.

Thanks,

I've tried the two email addresses I have, and I haven't gotten any response. Maybe my addresses are no good, but they didn't bounce back. I have sent them from a Hotmail account....is there a reason that maybe my Hotmail won't send to an overseas address? (Forgive me for my ignorance here...) Anywa...

I know that an amp that's powered on without a load is a no-no. I'd have to have some sort of power-soak device so I wouldn't fry the amp on standby. I would also figure that any switch hooked up to the speaker outputs of two amps would tend to make a mighty loud POP when switched between the two. I...

Well, I figured it wouldn't work, but I thought I'd ask on the off chance.

Thanks--

I'm hoping someone with much more electronics savvy than myself can help me here. http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif I have a 4-ohm cabinet which I'd like to use with two amps simultaniously: a 4-ohm Nashville 400 head AND a 4-ohm blackface Fender Bassman. I play steel and guitar, (not at the sam...
