Sho-Bud Pro 1

Hello! Putting out feelers for a Pro 1. I'm located in Nashville, but willing to drive a few hours in any direction. In a perfect world I'd like to avoid shipping, but not totally against it. Let me know if you've got one you're looking to sell!

Thanks! :)

funny, I was going to recommend that he have a pair of LPB's on his board for the old Oliver. One on all the time for the dirty low-end he so craves, and another for the extra "push over the cliff" in the words of nigel tuffnel. We ended up getting the bassman, and it's made a world of dif...

Amp question...not for steel though ; )

Hey folks, My guitar player's got just about the most unreliable rig you can imagine, and is pretty finnicky about how amps break up. The Oliver he's using sounds like a dream the 6 days out of the year it works, the rest of the time it's a real bugger. Shopping around today I tripped over a '74 Bas...

London Guitar Shops

Hey y'all, I fell asleep and woke up in London, and now I'd like to find some vintage guitar shops, or if the stars are aligned somewhere that has steels? I've been googling, and found Denmark St. has tons of shops, but I hear it's the uber expensive tourist trap strip of shops. Is this right? Anywh...

Fender 75

Hey everybody, Was routing around a guitar center and came upon a used '81 Fender 75 1X15 that was really intriguing. Tried the thing out with a few beautiful old guitars and it sounded fantastic, but not sure how it reacts to steel. Anybody have one? had one? Any advice or opinions greatly apprecia...

Reverberationalisms

Hey everybody, Just wondering if anybody has any suggestions for good reverb units...At the moment I'm not using any, though occasionally play through a friend's Holy Grail. Sounds ok, but makes the highs reaaaally piercing. Found a TRex "Room Mate" apparently tube-powered pedal that's int...

i HATED finger picks for the first little while i was playing, then decided i should just get used it. Forced myself to use them, and now I can't play without them. I feel naked without my picks! Never would I have guessed I would ever be a nerd about something like picks, but at the music store whi...

Fender Twin 1X15

Yet another amp question...Has anyone tried this new amp? Seems like it would work quite well, but I'd like some steelers opinions before I start considering dropping another 1000 bucks :whoa:

Thank you, and hope you're all well

Fender Concert 1X15 info?

Anybody have one? Know anything about them? Know what a good price is for one? I'm looking at 2 of them, one with the orig. Fender speaker, one with a replacement JBL. Amps look like 70's vintage, though I'm not 100% sure. Seems that way since they're silverfaced, and the ones claiming to be from th...
