The Steel Guitar Forum

I have also heard Colm's amp here in K.C. The sound and tone was inspiring.

I had 4 Mark III once. Still have a combo 12 and long chassis head only. Always liked them for steel.Lots of options for dialing in a Fender sound. I use a 69 rebuilt twin reverb now w/ Altec Lansing spkrs.

I have a mid 80's Mesa Boogie Mark III simulclass combo w/ 12 EV. Anvil case for shipping. I would sell or trade ?

Nothing takes the place of practice. Scales arpeggioes intervals right hand left hand ears etc..
Tone is everything. The right amp. with the right guitar the notes jump out. The combination of both is inspiring. Thats why we are musicions.Thanks Ken

I used oven cleaner once. Didn't damage the tolex but didn't remove all the paint.

Randy good idea. A tube amp for tone and solid state together for a band with drums. I use a AB box to combine the two. With no drums or rehersal I can use a Deluxe Reverb. Don't tell anyone Some of those Fender amps are getting too expensive.

Played thru a 70's Deluxe Reverb last night at band practice. Stock fender spkr.Swinging rockabilly blues country music. When it was pushed a bit I liked the edge of distortion that was produced.Started thinking Duane Allman Robert Randolph ? It was a pile of fun.Even added a little bourbon and didn...

Bob, My wife loves the beautiful Guild D25 I bought from you 2 years ago. Thank You.I have had 1 bad transaction with a trade here on the forum.I tried to make it right but still got criticized.Thats a way cool guitar you've got. I would love to own it. Best of luck. Darryl

I recently rebuilt a 2-12 Sound combo cabinet, cut the top off and made a seperate head for the amp. It was pine construction and had 2 nice Jensen spkrs. I belonged to the guitar player for the Republic Tigers.They were on Letterman a couple years ago. He tweaked some tubes and serviced filter caps...

Cliff, I borrowed one of these to use with my non reverb fender amps. I liked it better than my rackmount units. I'll take it. I do not have paypal. Let me know. Darryl Logue 816-564-6192

The honorable Roger Hurst will fill in tonite with his new Zumsteel. I'll be on deck if needed. This is going to be fun.

Lucky Tubb, related to Ernest Tubb will be in K.C. Wed. at Knuckleheads Saloon. I play with Miss Major and the Minor Mood Swings and we will open the show. He needs a steel player for this show and a few others. I know this is short notice I just found out myself. If you reply I can give you the con...

I prefer 2 12's for a quicker response and punchier tone. Altec 417 if you can find them and they are not light.

K.C Mo. every tues. Rex Hobart and the Honky Tonk Standards 39 and S.W. Blvd. 7:30 to 9:30. I just got home. We always welcome sit ins. bring your own picks.

My original idea was 85to100 watts verses 135 watts. The rebuilt 69 is warmer but less headroom. The 77 ultralinear transformer has more headroom but a little sterile or brittle. MY next comparison would be a/b the speakers. When I started using the 69 I quit using my profex it doesn't need anything...

I just checked the weight. 69 w/Altecs 75# 77 w/JBL 85# I am a cabinet maker /carpenter. I may split the 77, it's in excellent condition, and save the original cabinet. Thanks.

I just scored a late 70's 130watt twin with JBL's. It's in great shape. A/B with my 69 twin W Altec Lansings. I like the 69 better, warmer yet less headroom. The newer Twin has a ultralinear trans former and is heavier if that is possible. The base player tonight forgot his amp head ! We plugged my ...

Not all fender amps are created the the same. I used a 69 twin completly rebuilt with 417 Altecs Sat morning with no effects,..tone heaven. Sat. afternoon Verizon theatre backline fender reissue twin very fuzzy, not good. Then heard Junior Brown using a fender custom 15 that I have played thru at kn...

What was the question ? 1969 rebuilt Twin w/12" Altec Lansings on most gigs. 1969 Pro with 12" JBL'sometimes. 1969 rebuilt Princeton w/ 10 jenson,recording and acoustic rehersals. Mesa Boogie Mark III combo or head, because they need to be started and driven once in a while. 2005 Zum. sing...

I'd sure like to put that in my 69 Pro Reverb. Is that your lowest price?

John, Thanks for the technical info. To me it seems a one 12" or one 15" are somewhat directional. Two 12" or four 10" spread the sound more. I like d130's allot.If someone is replaceing a baffle that has been modified it is much easier to unscrew the old style than remove a glue...

I regularly use a 69 Twin with two 12" E.V. 417. It is a tighter more focused sound. I have used reissue Fender and Peavey four 10" I like those also. One consideration is the amount of cone surface. 15"=15". Two 12's=24" Four 10's= 40". I think it makes a difference.Wh...

What is the one variable in any guitar or steel all parts manufactured to the same specs? Why does one, as great players have said, the notes seem to jump out? Could it be the wood ? Find some old growth tight and straight grained maple send it to your builder you might be surprised with the result....

Dan, My first Zum was a sd10 beautiful birdseye maple red. I think it was #3 or #4. It had a pushpull changer. What is yours?

Bob, I sent you a P.M. I have a few questions. Can you call me?
