Don't forget to check out Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley, especially, Before the Sun Goes Down and The Country Blues albums. Amazing playing by both and Trey is a great singer.

Ron, you're a cool dude and a great player- TomJ

My ZB has the LKV B to Bb and it works just fine I played so long without that change that I just "half pedal" A. But it works!

For my solo "crafts fair"/ "farmers market" and outside stuff, I use a Roland Street Cube EX. Battery powered, two channel plus an aux input for "tracks", if used. 50 watts If I'm playing with others, I have a Fender Passport PA (300 watts) and use my deluxe reverb amp....

Yep, it gets confusing. I thought I just recently read in another thread here that JrB uses a "high C13" tuning which would put the gauges up in the E tuning territory.

My 8 string Goldtone PBS is right at 24 7/8" or 25", depending on your eyeball.

Tuned in a pretty standard G6 with no issues. Great sounding guitar.

Tom

This one has stayed in my pedal board the longest. Very lush and adjustable reverb plus lots of other fun stuff. It will accept a "tap" in if you want to complicate things. Only drawback in my opinion is the tiny lettering... :eek: Tom https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/2945_Canyo...

Thanks, Mark. I just looked up the Rocky Mountain slides and they look/sound pretty good!

That slide of yours with the "sawtooth" grip is pretty cool!

Bet it's handy, drunk in the snow, crawling home!

Noah,

Thank you for your input, it's helpful.

I've been a steel player since 1984 (pedal mostly) but in the last year, I've been playing/gigging lots of lapsteel and resonator guitar. My bar of choice these days is the round nose Shubb SP2 but for my reso, I'm really considering a lighter, straight steel (not a rounded nose). I know, lots of mu...

Pat,

I think you're on the right track with the inline connector. My Dekley is different in that the "ball end" is mounted on the side of the pedal and uses side mount connectors.

Yee Haw, Mike, sounds great! I really like your rhythm section, very authentic.

Tom

Life is too short to wait for simple things...I made a good one!

Tom

It looks like you can reverse the bolt and nut on the knee lever to add some clearance. If you don't want do do that, file down the end of the bolt (with the nut still attached) to shorten it a bit. Reversing would be easiest. Also, see if the knee lever bracket is moving lateraly on the cross shaft...

Mike, are you still an octave up from normal A6/C6, ala the Cashdollar tuning? If so, what gauges of strings are you using? I just tried the "high C6" on a set of SIT "Scotty's E13th" and the guages are just fine. What's nice is that the Hank stuff can still be played up in the ...

Don,

Thats is a fine looking guitar. Yep, I really like the ability to stand and play.

Does the "belly bar" remove to go in the case or does it stay attached?

Tom

Brad, yep.

If anyone has a strap for a Peavey PowerSlide that is not being used, I'd love to have it.

Or, the actual dimensions would be useful too; length overall. length of "third strap" attachment and distance from end of main strap that it is attached to.

Thank you!

Tom

Dan, I'll take it if it is still available. You can email specifics (or PM) through the forum email and I'll get back to you.

Tom

Sonny, I don't think it was a "Woodshed" course but there are two that I'm aware of: a very uptempo chicken-pickin' version in the booklet "Jeff Newman and a Few Good Friends and one other (my favorite) that is swing style using the lever that drops your Es. Both are pretty hot pieces...

Fantastic, Rose!
