Try putting your finger (s) in your mouth just before you put the pick on, the saliva acts like glue and I bet you will have to pull them off when you do not want to pick anymore. Keeps your dive goggles from fogging up to in case you dive.

These metal number stamps work good. http://www.hobbytool.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=6 MSA used this type markings on the old MSA rods but the new Millennium has all the rods made the same length. If you set up in the dark a lot then notch them with a small file or if you don’t w...

These are all great ideas, sure glad I ask for your feed back. Unfortunately most will have to be included in a new project as this one is full up on the screen display, not much room left on the screen. I set this up for the E9th 10 string 4 X 5 so it has to stay like that for this time around. Tha...

Hi Ed, I know you feel you gave the kid his start but he was young and youth is not to smart, there is a youth saying that goes something like (to late we get smart) for what it’s worth my 2 cents says you should not let the event get to you. You have to be positive and look at things from the both ...

Hi Tony, That’s my problem I can not get the Red light to flash! I think I have my problem solved by using the preamp out from my amp I get all the volume I need. My buddy brought over his Peavey Proflex II and a killer sound came out on the recording. My whole thing is down to the preamp is a must ...

Maybe it's this 864 recorder but if I go direct with no effects full gain and full input there is no volume to speak of even direct from the guitar. From Tonys advice I tried the cosm gtr amp, I can get the volume level up with cosm using preamp but can’t seem to get that good amp sound. So far the ...

Thank you to all for your input, I really do appreciate the time you take to reply. I will look into each idea and let you know which way I go, most likley "South". (smile) Tony, The 864 has onboard Guitar/Bass effects patches, however no volume to work with. It works great for guitar, bas...

I have a Boss 864 recorder with an Audio Technica AT3035 large condenser mic. I have tried direct recording and that suck’s so here is where I need your help. To buy a pre amp like Peavey Tubefex or the Nashville 1000 stand alone amp to get the preamp and record direct. I am not after the old tube t...

Thank you guy's, I went with the Boss TU-12H.

NOTE: Nice!

Ernie Ball work for me, they are light weight and just put em in boiling water and shape em to fit. Tip (lick the tips of your fingers and thumb) when putting them on, the saliva acts like glue.

Which tuner should I purchase for tuning up a MSA S-12 extended E9th pedal steel? Korg or What ? I play at the house now.
Thank you,
Sprig

Paul, thank you for the reply and input, I will track that down. Rick was a teacher-player from Waukegan Illinois, and yes those were the good old days and I remember them and Ralph well and fondly. I know it’s a long shot but thought I would give it a try.
Respectfully, Sprig

I am looking for my old MSA pedal steel guitar, it was traded to Ralph Hansel's Music Center West Allis Wisconsin in about 1985. Its a single 10 string, 3 floor 4 knee, dark burgundy wood body. It was signed at the tuning keys by Rick Kornicker with a ball point pen. Reward for finding plus purchase...
