The Steel Guitar Forum

Does anyone have any first hand experience with this amp and could make any recommendations. I am considering buying a tube amp and these are reasonably priced (for a tube amp) Tks: Jim

I would like to trade my almost new Carter Starter for a 6 string PEDAL steel. Let me know if your interested. Jim

Hi John: I said I would almost pay to build one. It's a lot of work but i enjoy it. I will build any kit you want for free, just have it shipped to me and pay the shipping from my house to yours when I'm done. Jim Sampson

Does anyone have any experience with the Weber 6A80 amplifier kit ? I am thinking about building one with two 12" speakers. The circuitry is almost identical to the Fender Twin and I am a retired technician and would almost pay them to let me build one. Jim Sampson

Tks Tim and Dave for the info but I guess I didn't word my question properly. I would like to know if anyone knows if there is a drum machine that is currently made that has pre-recorded tracks of rim shots and hi-hats suitable for the old classic country music that all you have to do is dial in the...

Can anyone recommend a drum machine that has PRE-RECORDED tracks that is suited for classic country music (mainly rim shots and hi-hats)? I've tried a couple of different units and neither one knew what a rim shot was. Jim Sampson

Al, Im sorry my last post was for Jim. Jim Sampson

Al, I have played lead guitar for over 40 years with many bands. I don't play professionally any more because of health reasons. I have noticed since I joined the forum that everyone seems to have different opinions and preferrences and I am no different. I want a 6 string pedal because it is what I...

Alan, Sounds like you have got the right idea. I want lots of pedals and I don't like levers. The Multi-Kord sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. I am familiar with the lone star 6 lite but I don't like the tuning keys mounted at a 45 degree angle from the body. Jim Sampson

Will trade almost new Carter Starter package for 6 string Pedal Steel. The Carter starter is in perfect condition and works fine, I am a converted 6 string guitar player and prefer 6 strings. Jim Sampson

I would like to thank everyone for their feedback on my querry. It looks like the Lonestar S-6 lite is just what I am looking for. Now all I have to do is sell my new Carter Starter. Jim Sampson

can anyone tell me if there are currently any six string prdal steel guitars made and available ? Jim Sampson

DOES ANYONE OWN A CARVIN MTS3212 AMPLIFIER AND CAN TELL ME HOW WELL IT WORKS WITH A STEEL GUITAR ? Jim Sampson

Tks Ricky but the part I am trying to duplicate exactly is what I believe you are referring to as the harmonic intro, just prior to your 3-5-12-7 on the 4th string. By the way, give 13-15-22-17 on the first string a try for the start and see if you like it better. Tks: Jim

I recommend you take Marvin Born's advice. It sounds like a filter capacitor to me. It is a simple repair for a qualified tech. I've been fixing amps for over 30 years for a living and could probably do it in less than an hour on my worst day. No need to ship it off unnecessarily.

Tks Andy It wasn't the chords i was having a problem with, it was the correct intro tabs and I was just working on it with my 6 string guitar ans the cd and I'm pretty sure i have it worked out now. Tks: Jim

Does anyone have the correct E9 tabs for "sleepwalk" I have listened and tried several different versions and the intro on all of then hasn't sounded quite right to me. I am pretty sure the correct intro chords are C-Am-Fm-G7 C-Am-F=G7 Tks: Jim

calvin
check for any dc voltage on the phone plug of what you are plugging into your amp. it can cause the problem your describing and can be caused by a leaky capacitor, especially in a high impedance circuit.
