The Steel Guitar Forum

From what I read, just turn the Enhance knob to "off", and hiss will go away. I found this page of compressor reviews ( http://www.ovnilab.com/index.shtml ) which has >100 comps on it. About the LMB-3, the guy wrote; Boss LMB-3: This limiter pedal works and sounds much better than I expect...

Georg, you're getting my attention. You wrote; Using "delayed compression" like in the LMB-3 What do you mean "delayed compression"? I didn't think that pedal did any delay thing. I thought it was a "regular" compressor with an aural exciter circuit. Actually, it's supp...

four bricks?

I wouldn't change a thing!

But if you must, you're taking the best and fastest route; ordering new ones from Mullen. Show us the "after" picture!

Anyone try plain old toothpaste? It works great on wedding rings.(if you still have one... )

So, have you two guys struck a deal? Or is the guitar still for sale? I'm a guitar-less steel player a bit down on my luck, but looking for a S10...

Hi Lyndel. Please check your email... thx, -DH

...and I'm *still* lookin' for tab (or something) to help me learn that killer PSG part of the Grand Junction solo. Not the laptop part, the PSG part. Somebody somewhere (other than R.Y) has figured this out - it doesn't sound impossible to play. I just personally struggle finding the right interval...

I remember seeing Rusty Young with Poco in the early '70's, and he just used a Leslie cab for an organ type effect. In fact, I think he had two, stacked on top of one another. YMMV, -sd

Please don't judge me, but...

I started putting a grass hula skirt, about a foot long, around the front of my steel. That seems to hide the mechanics from the gawkers, and looks kinda cool too. Like I said, please don't judge me!

Well, I just called Don at his home; Don Fritche (Owner) 1.479.938.2575 (Home) He was great! And as pleasant as can be. Yes, he did admit that he "is a little behind" at reading the email from the BMI web site, and that in fact it hasn't been working perfectly lately... So he asked that I ...

What if you've lowered the legs as low as they will go? How or who could cut them down another inch? thx, -dh

Guys, I tried emailing you at the addresses listed on the "contacts" page of your web site http://www.beckmusicalinstruments.com/Contact.html . It's been about a week or so and I haven't heard from you. Are those email addresses still good? And is that the best way to contact you? Thanks f...

Thanks Benton!

Honestly, I thought BMI was long out of business! But I see now that a couple of guys got it going again. Huray!! This is probably old news to most, but a new discovery of mine.

I found their web site at http://www.beckmusicalinstruments.com (duh... I am the stupid! )

An old BMI... Not the original fretboard, and the replacement is too short of a scale. That is, the upper fret lines are "flat".

Where might I find a pattern or actual fretboard replacement that'll work better?

Bridge to rollers is exactly 24 inches.

TIA, -Dave

Herby; What's the price range on these puppys? thx, -dh

Any old FBB / SHF fans and 1970's LA "country" will remember Al Perkins. Here's Al playing "Sin City" in a recent posting on that YouTube place:

Hey Allen! Thanks for that. Actually, this guitar has been sold and is now on it's way to Houston! I know she's found a great new home. -Dave

Recalling the many facets of learning to play; Tony: "I went out and played the dang the thing on gigs before I could!" Oh yeah, that too! Man did I ever embarrass myself, or so I thought. I think the desire to play and the willingness to realize that it takes a lot of time to learn are ke...

Hi folks.

I'm goin' with that one at our next gig!

Amp is sold. Sorry if you missed it!

Donation on it's way pending completion of sale.

Okay guys, I've reduced the price down to $350. You'll have a great amp in great condition for cheap! and I'm set up to take PayPal/V/MC if you want.

Drop me a line...

thanks 2 all, -dave

Many "maturing" musicians have turned to body piercings, tattoos and a spiky, multi-colored new 'do to reassert their relevance and youth-market appeal - how do you look in spandex these days? :shock: Boy, ain't that the truth! I just have to laugh at those dudes. I saw one guy in an airp...

...or you buy one of those Artisan EA-1 6-bangers for about $50. For occasional use, they seem to do okay. I've got one and have gigged with it. No problems.

Google search "Artisan EA-1" should get you something on it.
