Sold

I bought this to use with my Sarno Octal preamp. I was so impressed by the Octal that I immediately replaced it with the Sarno Revelation (Octal)- and didn't need the FreeLoader since it is built into the Rev. It was probably used for two weeks and has sat in my studio ever since. So here is your ch...

A picture of the top might be nice .....

I am selling a Sarno Black Box in mint condition. I bought it back when I got my Octal preamp and used it a total of maybe 5 times. I was so impressed by the Octal Preamp that I bought the Revelation preamp (Octal option) and have used only it since. The unit seriously has less than 20 hours on it a...

If you choose to use a compressor here are some basic parameters: Ratio - 2 to 4 db, no higher (it'll sound squashed) Attack - slow to medium - set it so the note attack isn't completely cut off Release- quick Threshold : set it to where the sound is gently compressed & sustains. If it sounds sq...

To the top for one of the best players out there!

I wish I could buy this guitar. Rusty was my hero....

TTT for one of my all time favorites!

Don't forget Rick Schmidt! Amazing Miles Davis inspired playing that is light years ahead of us mere mortals.

jim

Ttt for a great guitar owned by one of the all time greats!

If sale falls thru I'll take it!

Hi Sara, That guitar is a BMI D-10 that your dad played when he was with the Sky Kings. That period was around 1993 to 1995. They were a great band that never got their due. I got to meet Rusty and hang with him for awhile .. he was a very kind and generous man. And he influenced so many steel playe...

I have a question for Sara since she is on the forum now... whatever became of Rusty's ZB guitars? Does the fsmily still own them or did he trade them for the Sho Buds he used for those many years?

TTT .... wish I had some cash to get this guitar. Heck! I'd buy Rusty's finger picks if they were on the market.
Perhaps my all time favorite steel player.

I very rarely chime in on these discussions, but here goes: Some years ago I happened to be in Jim Palenscar's shop while JayDee Manees was playing one of his push pulls. What struck me about his sound was that it was like a '59 Fender Strat. There was clarity but also the notes had a "punch&qu...

Erv,
Are there volume & tone controls??? It's hard to see any.


jim

Hi Erv, how realistic does the cat can sound? And does it serve as a lap steel too?


jim h

Thanks Damir, it is a deal with or without the (former) cat hair.
Jim

For those of you who may be concerned about possible feline fur: I detailed out the underside of the guitar and the case. They are now completely dust & fur free....

Jim

Actually he prefers regular guitar cases ..... he hasn't had a chance to claim any of my steel cases yet.

jim

Yes, the cat is part of the deal! He's a great mouser if you have the need. My other guitar is black...but I am NOT looking for a black cat!

SOLD! Sad to say but I am not gigging at all these days. So it's time to reduce the size of the herd. I am offering my 1981 Emmons D-10 for sale - $3700 plus shipping. It had a complete rebuild and metalwork polished by Mike Cass a few years back. Minimal usage in the intervening years. There are 5 ...

I sorta second Bob's suggestion. I use tyhe Paul Franklin change that raises A to C and C to D. It gives you and inside diatonic run - C, D, E. And if you put it next to pedal 5 ("D pedal") you get C,D,E,F# - just the like inside run on the E9 tuning. It's great for doing speed licks up th...
