Here's a 2006 Fender American Standard Telecaster with Gene Parsons double (B & G) Stringbender installed. The Stringbender has the long-stroke option. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/4900_3csbt1_1.jpg I ordered the Tele new from Zzounds in early 2006 and shipped it straight off to Ge...

I'm way up there in Shreveport but I'm interested. Somebody shoot me some info or let me know what the website it.

P1 is where mine is. I had it on P4 but found it was easier to jump to P1 from B C than it was to jump to P4 from A B.

I hope that makes sense.

It does feel different on P1. You might need to adjust your seat to keep from getting into your LKR when you go to the B C position.

A Buck Owens song recently covered by Dwight. This tab has been bandied about for a while with no results. A couple of nights ago I "Got It". I think. Anyway, have a look and a listen and let me know if/where I went wrong. IMHO it's pretty close. Here's the intro clip: http://www.sawdustan...

Windows Media Player can do this. It should be on your computer if you're using XP. Otherwise see;

Hey Andy. I received a tracking number from Emmons on October 8, and she arrived on October 10. That breaks down as: * 1 year, 7 months, 9 days or * 84 weeks (rounded down) or * 589 days or * 14,136 hours or * 848,160 minutes or * 50,889,600 seconds I'm very pleased with the guitar, but it was proba...

... some drunken girl kept screamin, "Freebird." I saw Stony LaRue do "Free Bird" at the Red Dirt Roundup in Nacogdoches last summer. He whistled like a bird! It was pretty cool :D. Songs I can't stand to play: Proud Mary (the 32 bar D chord gets to me!), and anything by Bob Sch...

Why bother to be part of a public community if you're going to be private?) You have a point! I tried to send a musician acquaintance of mine a message on MySpace. His security settings required that I know both his last name and e-mail address _*AND*_ solve the stupid CAPTCHA puzzle. If I knew all...

It's not your imagination. Cords and stomp boxes sap tone.

Use the shortest cords you possibly can. Put your effects on an effects loop. If your amp doesn't have an effects loop, add one.

The Aura seems to be a modeling thingy. You can send your Aura to Fishman and get them to add a new sound to it (why can't you do that at home?). I don't care for that approach because it tries to take the hardware that reproduces the sound out of the equation. I do like Fishman's Para DI. It's basi...

Tres cool!

Did you tab it?

Just to clear things up, the "Visit to the Emmons factory" thing is a continuing topic in a number of these Emmons non-performance threads. Look it up. In this case my point was that the best we might hope for was to retrieve Gary's guitar. Violence and pilferage was not suggested or encou...

I have not been thinking about playing music seriously for a long time now, my last gig was for a NYE 2007/2008 , a year ago... I feel for 'ya. My last gig was June 10. It was a good gig. Then our drummer went tits up (literally!) and the band was no more. Cable, cell phones and magazine subscripti...

Sweet!

I've been thinking about a design for my new ash lap. That is the ultimate (IMHO) of form and function.

Charlie (e-mailing Rick and drawing like mad)

Stop the off topic chatter, please! :x I'm sorry b0b. I've never seen a cascade on the SGF. Got away with it for a while though, didn't I :D. I would normally have some things to say about the topic, but dissing what must be about 85% of existing steel guitars (and by association, the players who o...

Thanks. Is it okay to run an 8 ohm externial cabinet with the 4 ohm internal speakers' load? No way man! The shrapnel will go everywhere! Seriously, I think you've got two 8 ohm speakers in parallel in your Twin. That equals 4 ohms. Your 8 ohm ext will be fine. Lord knows I've mixed and matched som...

Because why?

Because I said so.

Why did you say so?

Hey Gary. I sent you a friend req on MySpace. So login & check it out already .

Looks to me like a mass visit to Emmons is in order. I'm off until Jan 4, I got gas money and Nashville is on the way (Hey Damir!). I bet $10.00 nobody's home.

Any takers?

I was wondering the same thing. Let's try that shoe on another foot: If I post here and ask if Gary Morse or Al Perkins are playing Nashville will somebody jump down my throat?

Someone mentioned coffee shops as a possible growing alternative. Hhmmmmm, three members of our band did a three week end, afternoons, coffee shop gig here in our home town and would have walked if we had not signed onto a contract. I did that gig. Between the hippies with their tofu decaf mocha la...

I know that Austin is kind of crowded, but I wouldn't write it off entirely. It seems like a great town, and if you're a country music fan there's always something to see. You won't make a living, but you'll likely be able to find people to play with/ H You know, that would suit me just fine. I've ...
