The Steel Guitar Forum

If it wasn't so far away I would stop by Ray. If you ever get the chance stop in at John T's. Have a friend that plays bass there.If you do tell her the wife and I said Hi for us. Is this a sit down gig? Have a great time. Will catch up with you the next time we are up your way----Reid

Just put my vote in!!!!Reid

Hal---We will most probably come on up to Jackson Friday night. Was going to ask where you would be picking at anyway. Thanks a lot---Reid

Ok!!!! Someone post the address where the SGJ is held and a motel close to where the SGJ will be at. Also need to know if any one will be picking around Magee on Friday night? It just about 250 miles from Leesville, La. so We will need to hear some steel guitar Friday night to get over the ride. Can...

Ray-- I sent you an E-Mail about your amp. Thanks--Reid

Gary--Look up Conway on YOUTUBE. I think they use to be on there doing that song. Reid

Jerry--Go to page three in electronics and look under the thread Mesa Boogie 2: Fifty (Reid Fletcher). Bob put a few words about his amp on it. Reid

Mike--Buck Grantham has working man blues on Youtube also. Watch close and you can see where he is picking at on the steel. Reid

Thanks Bob--I was thinking it would have plenty of power. I woulld be using a Pro Fex 2 with it so weigh wouldn't be a problem for me. It's the speakers that are heavy ( 15's )now. Could also use a set of 12's ( a lot lighter). Was that what you used with yours? Thanks again!! Reid

Does anyone use a Mesa Boggie Stero 2: Fifty power amp in a rack set up. Does it have enough power with only 50 watts a channel? Is the tone ok sounding. I know this is an expensive amp that's why i'm asking these few questions. Thanks !!! Reid

Bought the cd today-I like the whole cd-especially the last cut on it. Maybe they will do a couple more if this one does well. Reid

Last night Buck Trent was on the Peggy Gilley show on RFD. Don't know what he had on his banjo--sure sounded good to me. He probably won't tell about it though. Makes a living with it. Reid

The band was on Leno the other night--Did "Under your spell again". They hammered down on it IMO. I'll be buying the cd!! Reid

Good Evening Everyone--Received an E-Mail from Sam Marshall today. He recommend that I take it to an authorized Fender Service Center. I think there is one in Kinder or Alexandria La. I'm going to follow his recommendation. Thanks a lot for everyone's time and help. I have other systems to pick thro...

Jim--Nothing in line--steel--hilton vp--Fsk. Kevin--I'll be hooking a 115e to it sometimes today. Thanks--Reid

Donny--When it came in I came home--made sure it wasn't beat up and would turn on. Hook a tele up to it--sounded ok. By the time I got back home the 45 day return period was over--I hooked a steel up and found it was distorted--It's sat in another room until I pulled it out yesterday--by adjusting k...

Lee-- I've never taken the velcro off the foot switch--nothing touching the speaker. Kevin --Plastic feels tight on the foot switch will try that also. Jim and Dennis--Ups just delivered two 115e's so I will try one of them. If none of this works I will have to find a service shop. I got an old Fend...

Thanks, Fred and Michael--I had already tried the pre gain route--Have a NV 1000--Will try the BW in the FSK. Hate to let this amp sit and not be used .Thanks again!!! Reid.

I bought a new FSK about a year ago. Hook it up and it sounded like I hook a distortion pedal to it. Did anyone ever discover just what was wrong with this batch of FSK amps. I've got time to mess with it now and would like to get it fixed. Too late to send it back. Thanks is advance for anyone's ti...

Did You Notice Rod Moved complety out of the screen when she took her ride. He was standing in front of her and moved back in when it was his turn. I think he fooled the director on that.

I have the same problem with mine(FSK). When it was shipped I came home long enough to see that it wasn't beat up--turned in on to see if it worked(just plug in a tele to it-no loud volume). When I got a chance to plug a steel into it I found it was distorted. Changed cords-look it over-no change. O...

I've had tinnitus since 88. Lost the hearing in my right ear and a lot in the left ear. The first 5 or 6 years was bad. I used a small am radio(tuned off fre. to white noise) with an ear phone speaker to help bring the noise down an to get some sleep Turn it off and it wouldn't be long in coming bac...

Alex, go with Tony Prior's input--HR DeVille--2/12-60 watts. Uae an A/B switch box and you will find it works well with steel and 6 string (use the channel switch for 6 st.) Adjust the drive and Master to your needs with 6 st. Try it--you will like it!

I just got through talking to Phil and told him some of his old friends were looking and asking about him. Russ weaver, Lynn Owsley and Lee Gillespie I will e-mail you his telephone number and will give him yours Tuesday or Wednesday evening when I see him. I will also give him a print out of what i...
