The Steel Guitar Forum

Very sad to hear that George Moore passed away yesterday, George designed the Webb amps for Jim Webb. Most of the great steel players have played through these amps especially the Web 614E. RIP Geoarge Will miss our web chats .

Many thanks for that info...

Hmmmmm ok so i need new caps in the output stage? and need to get the bias checked what would be a average setting for these old but new RCA 6L6's, my local electrical repairman is 70 years old and done his apprenticeship on valve amps, ie, Radio, TV. Ham Radio.etc, and as i live in the wop wops, he...

Ken, in my Fender 1992 Blues Deville, i am running two 1960 RCA 6L6GC output tubes, and new Tungsol preamp tubes, i notice when i plug my Steel guitar into it it makes a strange harmonic rumble,lower notes seem to trigger it more than top end notes.. Could this be that the tubes havnt been biased? i...

HI Paddy, yes mate i can get two 10 cent coins stacked under the strings and still have a very slight gap left, but the pickup is still wound down as low as it will go, i can adjust it up plenty, but not down any more than it is now. the pickup sits on a small slab of wood in the cavity,and to get i...

Hi, im wondering if the pickup is to close to the strings on my Rains SD10 will it hinder the sustain of the guitar? i cant get it any lower and its still almost touching the strings, im toying with the idea of putting a Wallace Tru Tone in place of the George L's Humbucker, any sugestions?

Is it true Carter steels are no longer being made? i heard a rumor..

thnx guys will keep it as a single combo. by the way mine is serial# 1155 heres a pic

my Webb amp has a 4ohm JBL K130 speaker as its main, is it ok to add another 4ohm speaker as an extension speaker? or would this damage my amp?

My Webb 614E dose the same thing when i hook a stomp box to it,especially worse when an overdrive pedal is used. and for some reason my steel gets that same flutter when i plug it into my guitar amp, Fender Blues Deville 2x12 with 1960 RCA 6L6GC output tubes and 1960 Tungsol preamp tubes, sounds rea...

Thanks for all you help guys, looks like im going to have to try some of these out and decide,

Ken, Thanks so much for that info, and by the way, I checked your web site out and love the sound of your reverb units you make, a bit out of my price range unfortunatly, but the sound is Mint...

I'm surprised Winnie Winston never got a mention..

Hi Kevin, i haven't got a pic of the tank my wife has our camera out today with the grand kids, but looking closely at it, it has two springs. it is an Accutronics Geneva,Ill, pat number, 2,982,819,3,106,610, made in USA, they are stamp pressed into the metal casing, now there are some other numbers...

thats 4ohms on the speaker ..

Kevin my Webb is an open back cabinet with a JBL E130 ohm speaker, the serial number is 1155 and i think it mabe somewhere around mid to late eighty's, thats all i know about it, heres a pic. the numbers on the tank are that faint that i cant make them out cheers Des http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/u...

Kevin, your right, i tried the reverb tank out my Fender twin reverb and it sounded really awful, so it looks like i will have to try and get another,, cheers for that.
