The Steel Guitar Forum

There was a discussion of this a few years ago: http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum11/HTML/001964.html On my amp, I found that turning down the gain controls and reverb control eliminated the pop... ------------------ http://members.aol.com/mrherrick/sm75_martinidev.jpg

This will probably get moved, but what the heck!

I saw this and it reminded me of that photo of the super long steel guitar that someone (Jon Light?) posted a while back.

Not a steel guitar, but also, not Photoshop'd:

Hey, Lee. Actually, I think I was still in New York at the time. Not sure why the location info says Los Angeles, unless the web software picks up the location info from the current profile when it creates the page... I think that's the longest it's ever taken me to get an answer on the Forum... (BT...

I guess 4 years isn't TOO long to wait for a definitive answer...

For probably $10 or less you could go to the hardware store and get a tap handle (like a drill chuck with a "T" handle) and a tap of the right size (4-40? 6-32?) and you'd be able to tap tuner nuts for the rest of your life... (I've tried to get those Geo-L's nuts directly onto the rods an...

I found it at Best Buy and I think it was less than the $49.95 that it lists for on the website...

When Mike Cass worked on my guitar he had the Emmons company rewind the pickups...

<SMALL>...I did not get the impression that he was a crook.</SMALL>

Neither did the people who lost all that money with Skilling and Lay at Enron.

And that's the whole trick of being a crook, isn't it? No one is supposed to suspect that you are a crook...

Here's a site that might help... http://www.melmusic.com/laceyj/page04.html Here are some really good shots of a bolt-on changer: http://home.earthlink.net/~bradsarno/66photos.html And there is a fairly good shot of the end of a cut-tail changer in this thread (8th post in): http://steelguitarforum....

<SMALL>Have any of these pickup guys (Lollar, Wallace) tried the "stacked" single-coil approach yet?</SMALL> The BL-910 is a "stacked" humbucker. I tried it in my Mullen and, although it sounded good, I preferred the sound of a single coil. It has a TrueTone in it now. I also th...

Is that the Los Angeles Hilton LAX or the Los Angeles Hilton downtown?

<SMALL>I consider it one of the top three concerts I have been to in my life...</SMALL>

Yep. Up there with Jimi Hendrix.

<SMALL>Many times the rack rails would need to have the threads cleaned up in order to work properly.</SMALL> You forgot to add, "...because of the jerks that used a power drill to install the screws in the first place..." http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif <font size="1" col...

Have no personal experience with the LGII but it should be pretty simple. At least it was on my Mullen. You'll first want to unsolder the pickup wiring from any switch or jack. (Photograph or draw a picture first so you can get it back the same way!) With the strings off just unscrew whatever screws...

I have found that playing on carpet is next to impossible. The pile plus the pad underneath equal way to much mush to try and deal with. I much prefer a hardwood floor. Or you could do what I did and get a couple of 2ft x 4ft pieces of 3/4" plywood, give them a few coats of polyurethane and use...

I've sprayed a guitar body a couple of times, but I used nitrocellulose lacquer. If you're doing a transparent color the stain is usually mixed with the lacquer. With multiple coats this can give a really nice, deep color. I've heard that sunburst can go either way; stain sprayed on the wood or used...

The one I went to (last year I think) was at the Airtel Hotel next to the Van Nuys airport; Sherman Way and Valjean Ave.

Cool!

I liked the part about 2/3 of the way through where one of his finger picks flies off!

Look up KCA NOS Tubes on the web. Call Mike Kropotkin and tell him what you are looking for. He's really a nice guy and will tell you what you need to know. I've been buying tubes from him for a couple of years and have always been happy. Good luck on those Black Plates... ------------------ http://...

Maybe a ground-loop hum? If you're using two amps, maybe you need to lift the ground on one of them. I think you can do this by using one of those three-prong-to-two-prong plug adapters. Don't know how safe this is. Maybe the electronics gurus will weigh in... ------------------ http://members.aol.c...

I think Herby Wallace sells them...

Same problem happened again today. Pulled all the tubes, inspected and retensioned the power tube sockets then cleaned all the power tube sockets and preamp tube sockets. Still the same problem... Plugged into my '74 SFTR. SAME PROBLEM! (Now I KNOW something's fishy...) Started checking all the conn...

<SMALL>Listen to the amp without anything connected to the input,controls at zero...</SMALL> I think if you do this, you won't hear anything at all... http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif Here is a post I made a while back that includes the hum balance adjustment procedure that was in my Vibrasoni...

A friend of mine just discovered this amp and has been telling me about it. The amp tech he uses thinks they are great also.
