The Steel Guitar Forum

Just installed one of Jerry's True Tone pickups in my old Bud Pro 1. What a difference! I'm hearing tones, warmth and depth that were never there before.
Now if I could just learn to play......

I would almost give anything to play just a little like John Hughey !

Get some George L cables and you will never be sorry!

Problem solved! Just had the input pot on my amp turned up WAY to high. Backed it down to about 1 and that did a lot to fix things right up.

Thanks to all you you that offered your help.

Great bunch of folks here on the forum !

I've joined the ranks of True Tone pickup owners. Thanks to all that offered me advise on what would be a good replacement for my original SB pup. Now...... I could please use a few tips on how to properly do the work. Anything I positively must do? Anything I positively must avoid? Seems like it sh...

Thanks for the info everybody. Bought me a True Tone!

Here's what I have done so far with no results....... Tried 3 different amps Bypassed the volume pedal Tried different cords Replaced the output jack Checked all the grounds with a meter.

Sorry to bring this up again everybody. I'm at the end of the rope trying to fix this problem. I'm getting a nasty hum and buzz from my guitar. I do mean HUM and BUZZ! I have tried everything I can think of. Different amps, different cables, turned off and unplugged everything in the house including...

Your opinions please..Is there a replacement pickup available someplace that would have the same sound as an original ShoBud single coil pickup and would also just drop right in with no mods to the guitar body?
Thanks!

Heres one for all you electronics folks out there. How can you tell if the capacitors that filter the power supply on your amp have gone bad or need to be replaced? I'm talking about the big ones that are wired to the power transformer. Thanks!! ------------------ I would almost give anything to pla...

Up Please
