The Steel Guitar Forum

James, are you thinking of moving off your Roland Cube? The majority of players over here use Peavey either Nashville 400 or Nashville 112, some use Fender twin or similar, Webb, or some of the Quilter range. Or Telonics. To answer your question, Peavey and Fender are different beasts, it is a matte...

Mitchell Smithey, is in Dallas area.

Love my Straight Ahead amp, and Jay’s service is second to none.

A huge loss to the steel community, my sincere condolences to the Family and Friends.

Bob a sincere thank you for all your work on the Forum.Hope you have a long and happy retirement

Don’t see Mitchell Smithey listed, amazing player, as well as master Builder.

Had mine for many years, still going strong.Excellent little amp.

Paddy, back in Scotland now, will be back over at some point, son is working there for a few years. Several good music stores, I asked about pedal steel players, but they did not know of anyone, or even any bands that had one. Hope all is well with you.

For me the similarity is that I’m not very good at either.

Joe, if you haven't been to Bergen before I am sure you will love it.Hope you have a great gig.

Hi, I am in Bergen till Sunday morning, wondering if any of you guys are playing in that area. Happy Norway Day tomorrow.

Travis, try changing your cables, I had a friend who made up a set of cables, only to find they sucked all the highs out of tone. His ShoBud LDG into Nashville 400 sounded as if someone had put a blanket over it.

All the SKB 3611w cases I have seen used for steel have , as Ian suggested, had a horizontal separation panel fitted, created a separate section for the pedal bar and legs, Know Paddy Long in NZ uses them regularly, and is pretty pleased with them.

Try electrical cable shrink wrap, just cut to size, put on and shrink with hairdryer. Picks rock solid on fingers.

Contact Mitchell Smithey at MSA, he will keep you right.

Scott Dixon steel guitar seats are first class, light weight, strong. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/857_5FEC1C5A0FF34946920E578849FA2C37_1.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/857_E5C86F71DA6447858490703C90E326D7_1.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/857...

Great playing, also his playing and engineering/production on Amber Digby’s last CD was absolutely superb.

My MSA Milly, and from more years ago than I care to remember my old ShoBud Pro one

Jack, I am well aware what the post subject is.I am pointing out to OP that there have been volume problems with other Quilter products.

Bobby, some of us had problems with volume on Steelaire, lots of previous posts on this.

My Milly is older one, previously owned by Fred Shannon, it had been hard worked but still in great condition, so I sent it back to factory to have it updated to latest standards, Kyle and Mitchell did a superb job on it. It is lightweight, I use Scott Dixon case, which means it is 21kgs( two kgs un...

Peterson tuners, all great.

Jack, got mine last year, love it, it is loaded with the MA9 tuning, operates as well as any of the other Petersons, I still have my Stroboflip but it remains unused in seat since Clip arrived, had HD but never liked it,too big and clumsy.

Scott Dixon, very light weight but sturdy. If just transporting in own vehicle a padded keyboard bag works great.

You can find a lot of Dicky’s stuff on Heart of Texas Records, he did a lot of back up stuff with Amber Digby CDs and a lot of other artists who record with them,
