TTT with price drop.

Hi Bill, sorry for the lengthy delay; it’s 19 3/4” to the top of the foam.

Hi David, it's 25.3 lbs.

Up for sale is a Steel Seat SlimLine with back rest and integrated power strip. Fabric color is Light Charcoal, and the covering for the box part is a super durable truck bed liner. Super comfortable seat, I’m just downsizing to something a little smaller. Lightly used, but still in near-perfect con...

Gary, that must be the older model. The one I just got is pretty clearly marked 9V-24V, and I guess polarity-indifferent. I just can't find the current draw in any documentation.

Hi all, can anyone tell me the current draw of the new Telonics volume pedal? I'm wondering if I can power it from the supply on my pedal board. I also noticed it now has a range of voltages it will work with (I think 9V-24V, but I'll have to double check later). Does this affect the pedal's headroo...

Summer of 2021 I played at Six Flags 2-3 days a week, June through August, 0.7 mile walk each way hauling gear. It's been said here before, but the absolute number one priority is HYDRATE . And not just plain water. Keep your electrolytes up. Body Armor, coconut water, Pedialyte, etc. (Haven't heard...

Whoops, missed the notification there were new replies.

Thanks all! Sounds like a good time! I'll have to try to rally some friends to join me.

Hi all, Has anyone seen Robert Randolph on his current tour? About how long does he play? I got a notification that Robert Randolph will be playing nearby in a few weeks. When I went to look at tickets, I saw that the lineup is listed as: Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue Ziggy Marley Mavis Stapl...

I'm a new student of the pedal steel and checking to see if there are any groups that meet near Fort Worth. Tom, the Texas Steel Guitar Association meets the second Sunday of every month (except May and usually April) at the Hilton DoubleTree north of DFW airport. The next meeting is this Sunday, J...

Hi Larry, it's a little funny you should post this. I am in the middle of transferring a bunch of steel guitar CDs that I picked up. If you find someone else worthy they're welcome to it, but I'm just down the road in Haltom City, so I'd be happy to come get them from you.

This is horrible. RIP to the best and most level-headed forum admin a person could ask for. It's crazy to think that one person was basically single-handedly responsible for creating the most complete repository of information for an instrument, with of course the help of all the members who congreg...

Thanks for all the years of your hard work and level-headedness! It won't be quite the same without you, but I hope to still see you around!

Random thought: I wonder if you could get Rich Barbera interested in making a custom pickup. The great thing about Barbera Transducers pickups is that the saddle is the pickup, and the actual element is right against the string. I have one on my classical and adore it. Super even output, super feedb...

Maybe I'm missing something... Why not an 8/5 D-10? I know the C6 neck isn't used as much as the E9 these days, but if you're already spending the money on an SD-10, it seems odd to not spend the (comparatively) little bit more to be all the more prepared with a full D-10. And I agree with the notes...

Thanks Jana, looking forward to it!

Looking for a Tribotone bar or two. Preferably black, size F or L (7/8" x 3 9/16"). If you know of anyone looking to sell one, please send them my way!

Thanks!

Personally, I think that it is easier to use both hands, knees and a foot to craft together just ONE note or a chord. It's a concerted effort on ONE thing, as opposed to playing organ, where the right may be playing a improvised line, the left some syncopated chords and both feet tip-toe the bass l...

TTT with another price drop.

TTT

TTT. Sold the amp off-forum, so edited original post to be just for the road case.

This reminds me of my friend's response when I told him how many pedal steel players are also pilots: "You are saying that steel players like fidding with precise settings and overly complex multitasking?"

I know dotted eighth is a popular timing for delay, so in a case like that, it makes sense to be able to just tap the quarter note. In a guitar duo I play in, on a few songs I like to turn the delay volume way up, and tap in a quarter note delay. So then if you play a scale with eighth notes, you're...

Here’s a pic of one that slips on round crossrod 3/8” https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/107_A50C1B0A74754823AE7251F7AB0CC0E6_1.jpg Since this thread has been revived I guess I'll ask here: Does anyone actively make this bellcrank? Weirdly enough, the other day I had the idea for a ...

They all say "L-120" on the bottom, and they're all super close. I would expect the H-120 to be a much more obvious difference than what it is, but I could be wrong. As it turns out, two of the collars are brass, and the other one is aluminum. Collar sizes of pedals shown left to right: Po...
