The Steel Guitar Forum

Nice to meet you at the Kieltrip Bent, it was a big coincidence i think, and a nice surprice! I did unfortunately not hear Vince at his concerts in Norway this time, but I'm enjoying some of the clips on Youtube, here is Look at us (from Arendal): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00wJAcWZsLA&featu...

Hello Johan, the band sounds great. Some great vocalists.

Were you the steelplayer playing with Cash on Delivery at the countryfestival in Skjak, Norway?

I talked with their steelplayer after my gig in the barn but I didn't catch his name. I was the one playing the black Franklin there.

Here's nr. 85, a 1984 model I've heard.

The same thing happens with my 3rd string after a while, usually after three gigs or so. I tune it open, but the higher I go on the frets, the sharper the string gets(together with the 4th string of course). I have a Franklin too by the way.

I have #85, 8+5, with 710 pickup on the E9 neck and 705 on the C6.
It's a great guitar, but I haven't tried that many brands, so I don't really know what I'm talking about .
I wish I had more kneelevers on the Cneck though, I've only got two.

Hi Dave! Good to see that your steel has turned up.
It was nice hearing you here in Norway, you sounded great, made my Franklin sound good. The band had a good shwung too.

Thank you again!

I'm using four pedals here, the four "to the right" on a buddysetup, plus two kneelevers on my right knee that raises and lowers the third string.

Thank you for your nice words! But i would love to get some more comments on my playing.

See you in Skjåk Geir, it will be so much fun!

I've posted my first clips on youtube

I recorded these at home in my little apartment, just playing around on the C6. See the clips here:

Hope you enjoy them

I've been thinkin about getting one of these: http://www.frenzeltubeamps.com/id27.html Looks like the F-input would be good for steel. I mailed the builder, and he said that I would get at mid-dip around 800 hz if i set the controls right.

I replaced the 705 on my E9 neck to a 710 a year ago. Wasn't a big job, but the new pickup was a little to wide, so I had to cut off a little of the mountingplate to fit it. Yeah and by the way, my guitar is nr 85(from around 1984).

Jim, I agree on Gibbscam, I used in my job when I operated a Makino Wire EDM, did the job 10 times easier than programming manually!!

Where are all the swedish and danish players?? We want you on our forum!

Thank you for your kind words.

Vestnorsk Steelguitarklubb in Norway has a website www.steelgitarklubb.com We have a forum where we hope scandinavian steelplayers will discuss and post interesting things about steelguitar and steelguitarists, and a buy and sell section. We also have a Guestbook, a Clip page with mp3's, a big Link ...

Black knobs always sound best

WD-40 works too, I've used it lots of times.

Yes I have the DVD, I love it, but would like to have the cd too to complete the collection!

I would like to buy the cd with the super group "The Players" with Paul Franklin/Brent Mason etc. And I would also like to buy a Franklin Volume pedal. I prefer to make payment with paypal.

Has anyone heard of a Dobro called Sangwha? I've seen one for sale here i Norway, and I wonder if anyone of you have some experience with it?

Is this available for sale online?

I've used WD-40 in my pot with good results.

Do you have some good reverb/delay settings for the Tc electronics g-major? Other effects settings are appreciated too.

I had a gig this weekend way up north here in Norway, so we had to travel by plain to get there. I live in the middle of the country (Trondheim) but here in Norway the flights are a little backwards so we (the band) had to go south (Oslo) before we went north. So anyway we had to check in our luggag...
