The Steel Guitar Forum

Even their tuners are so good that I can't comment about their service 'cause I never got the chance to use it during the last ten years...

Leaving the speaker output open (unconnected) will harm a tube amp but not a transistor amp. If you are still worried, I suggest this A-B box:

That should get you covered...

Hey Justin,
you should contact Wolfgang Bednarz at WBS Steelguitars, located between Frankfurt and Wuerzburg. A very nice guy and excellent builder. He sure can help you...

Yeah, if it ain't broke, don't fix it...

Kevin is all service and great products. I was surprised at how soon I received my speaker. What Joe said! I purchased a EPS-15 from Kevin that arrived with a broken frame due to bad handling by USPS. Right away he offered to send another speaker or refund me. That`s what I call excellent service! ...

I never met Phred either, but always enjoyed his thoughtful, respectful and positive contributions.

RIP Phred!

Hi James, Ask five people about tone bars and you will get eight different opinions. But they`ll all agree on one thing: BJS bars are among the top three without question. After getting my first BJS (of three now), I never looked back. I used to play a 7/8" (Dunlop, I guess) before I purchased ...

Hello Olli,
I'd love to come see you play, but I'm on the road 'til cistmas eve myself...
Wish you guys a succesful tour!

Safe travels
Pit

Edit: check out the restroom in MusicHall Worpswede

Richard, I assume that you lube the pull rod/barbell connection regularly?
I use TriFlow which did a good job keeping down friction and wear at that point so far...

Spaten Optimator, strong stuff!
I guess by 5am you don't miss the tuner (that you couldn't pack for lack of space at 8pm) anymore
Anyway, good taste, Sir....

Kit, vielen dank. Ich habe es gerade 'downloaded'. Actually, it's "downgeloadet." Seriously. That`s another one of those funny German attempts to adapt to the English language. In German I´d say "heruntergeladen".... Seriously. :wink: Our public spaces are full of English phrase...

Frank, I just downloaded my own file again to make sure the link above works. If you right-click that link you`ll get a dialog to choose "save linked file as.." Pick your download destination. If your browser has a standard folder for downloads already, you`ll find that in the browser`s pr...

Hello Hans, As Winnie himself allowed to share the audio files, I put them up on my website with a link to download the files for everybody who is missing his floppy disk. Enjoy.... :D http://www.pitlenz.de/WinstonCD.zip Winnie Winston Member From: Tawa, Wellington, NZ posted 04 August 2004 03:54 AM...

Most of these little mics are omnidirecional, they might work well to record your instrument in a quiet room. But you can forget pretty much about using them for amplification, as they (being omnis) pick up the speaker's signal as much as the original sound and hence giving feedback easily. If you w...

Olli, here's another vote for TriFlow!
Had trouble finding it in a local bike shop (Germany) like in the US, but it can easily be purchased through an online shop.
I have the impression that my Sho~Bud plays a lot smoother now than before when I lubed it with regular gun oil...

just my 0.2€

A good example of nice smooth tight tone!! Fessy straight into a Nash 400 amp?? Sounds a bit warmer than that. Great player too!! Larry, the steel player is Nils Tuxen from Denmark, #1 session steel player around. He DOES have a very tasty style and a great tone, very nice guy, too! But this nice s...

Yeah, just joking,
take good care of your darlings!
The attic makes a perfect shoe(show)room, pumps and sneakers are much more forgiving....
Give me a call and let`s meet eventually when you guys have settled in your new home!

best wishes...
Pit

Der feine Herr Hausmann, congrats to your new house!

during the summer month it's possible to have temperatures up to 100°f and during the winter month maybe only 60°

Greetings from the neighborhood

Hi David, Here`s what I got me for a fly date last year: I purchased a Storm 3100 Case, originally designed to transport guns, too. Lifetime guarantee, watertight, good quality inline wheels, six lockable latches and two big rubber-padded handles. I got some scrap pieces of professional foam from th...

Hi Olli, Mark's answer is right on the money: Playing the PU and the Aura stompbox since four years, to me the dobro without the Aura sounds like a piezo-amplified sting instrument, but with the Aura switched on, it sounds like a well-miked Dobro! The main advantage of the pickup itself is the much ...

Well, then maybe one of these might fit?
this one looks close....

Like this one?

....True sound can only be mixed by a VISUAL display on a board that has balance columns of lights which are reacting to ALL INSTRUMENTS being fed into the soundboard..... If it looks right, it is right. No personal offense meant, but Mixing by visual feedback is like dancing about architecture (in...

Hans is correct. (Edit: and fast...) In detail: Pullrods should have just a little slack when no pedals or levers are activated. If you have two or more pulls on one pedal or lever, you want them to start (hit the raiser/lower finger) and end (finish the pull at the correct pitch) at the same time. ...

Dennis, this is one of the most common topics in the "electronics" section, you might want to try the search engine. As for my personal opinion, I use a Hilton with my Carter (Alumitone PU) and like the definition and clarity, but still prefer the Goodrich for my Sho~Bud for it's character...
