The Steel Guitar Forum

Question: How is scale length measured? From nut to bridge? This length is 25 inches on the Peavey. Actual length of diagramed scale is 20 1/4 inches. Please excuse my ignorance.

Sorry, Thats the way it is around 3 am talking with brain dis-engaged.

Thanks for the help, I replaced the string (used .017) and what an improvement! Great improvement in tone and no buzzing! Honestly the original felt so rough and dragged my bar so badly it seemed like a piece of rusty wire! Maybe I should complain to Peavey? My suggestion to any one purchasing this ...

I would like to contact Ken Fox about repairs to my Fender Super 60 Amp. Will a defective 6L6 tube cause overheating of other amp parts?

I have a slight buzz on number one string. Are the strings supplied with guitar of top quality? Any suggestions for remedy or improvement? I am using open "G" tuning.

What are your oppinions on the Peavey Power Slide model guitar?

Here is a low budget method, Using good old turntable from storage with good pickup etc. I Picked up a stereo receiver at flea market ($2.00) with blown output (no speaker sound) and used the tape outputs thus getting pre-amp for pickup, then put a 12 channel EQ in line for filtering scratches etc. ...

Richard, The problems I was having was that the files were recorded too loud, very often with clipping and distortion. This program eliminated these problems for me. You are correct in saving all files when doing any modifications in case of something going wrong. I have had no experience with too l...

Thank you.

I have found a very good software program for adjusting volume levels to a consistent value on MP3 files to be "MP3 Gain". It is a free program available at http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net This program eliminates clipping and when you burn a cd the levels are the same for all tracks. It wil...

Thanks for your input David, I understand that I am a new member and take no offense whatsoever that anyone on the forum would not ship something to me without first receiving the money. That is simple common sense and I expect it. As you say after knowing a person many years and dealing with them m...

The seller said the amp would not be shipped until he had his money in hand. Now he is saying he shipped it without getting the money. Hard to figure why anyone would do that after saying "shipment pending receipt of money clearing bank" He had the money before he shipped the item. as per ...
