The Steel Guitar Forum

You cannot go wrong dealing with Danny. He is one of the most straight up guys i've dealt with in years so buy these guitars with confidence!

What i do is to just make a new cabinet, same specs as the orig Fender cab, but old style with the mountable front baffle. You can make it much lighter and make it for a 15" if that's what you want. To take it a step further, you can get a nice board at Home depot for about 20-30 bucks, and mak...

Woody, that is by far the coolest post i've read in a while. So much so, i had to go back over it several times. Very very very cool!

"It's your way of expressing yourself (e.g.: "Lighten up, leave em alone and go practice") that I don't like." "If you look again, Smith" ditto on that "way of expressing yourself" thingy http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif http://steelguitarforum.com/smile....

Smith? ok fair enough read again Phelps, I didn't say that everyone here was knocking him nor did i say that mentioning his so called limited technical skills was a knock but if you read these types of threads we seem to love to put down anybody, particularly those that come from the guitar player p...

wow! http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif This kind of thing just stuns me. It really does. How many hit tunes have you guys played on? I remember a similar thread several years ago where Toy Caldwell was raked through the coals for being out of tune etc etc etc etc etc. Unless i missed a memo some...

I put some aluminum neck inserts made by Duane and also replaced all of the knee lever brackets with Duane's brackets and you guys are right, he does excellent work! I used to snap the potmetal sho bud brackets all to hell, since i put duane's aluminum brackets on i haven't had any problems and that...

"New Sho-Buds CAN be had today... or, the boys in Nashville will take your old Professional and put some killer mechanics under it, which amounts to the same thing." Gene Haugh used to build sho buds out of Booneville Ark in the early 90s, he completely redid and old Pro II of mine with ne...

Jon, I'm used to dealing with filter caps in Marshalls and Fenders, so I've never fiddled with an Evans before even though I have one....having said that, I usually equate filter cap problems, either gone or leaky, with an enormous dreadful hummmmmmmmmm....that's usually the first clue to a filter p...

"(The Bass control 500K to 1M is a very very small tone difference, and is questionable on whether it is worth the expense.) " Actually, the bass pot is 250K, not 500K, at least in the BF and SF twin reverbs.....I didn't do a step-by-step test, but I can say that changing both reeeeeeeeeea...

Best Steel job?....easy!.....the guy that has to set up directly behind (no pun intended) Shania!....ha!

Jerry, funny you should mention it, but two days ago I ordered some 100uF caps from Doug Hoffman for just that purpose.....lol.....Over the last year, I did the complete repro of a JTM45 RI amp back to original specs....and dug it!...but have slowly worked my way back to turning the thing into a ple...

"....along with beefing the filter caps " Jerry, just out of curiosity, what did you up the filter caps to?....and did it get boomy on you or just add a little more thump? I also started with 47pF bright caps, one on the pot, one on the switch, but with the other changes it was still too d...

Sure Steve, I can try, but tone is so subjective and a little difficult to describe but I'll do what I can. The techies can talk frequency numbers, I don't know them, wish I did but I don't....I'll compare two of my personal amps for example....I inherited a Peavey Artist (the only way I would own a...

Well, the best I can describe it is, for one, you'll have a real live sweet midrange instead of the typical scooped mid twin tone....now bear in mind that when we started we hooked the normal channel through the reverb circuit and modded it, so your regular twin reverb channel is unchanged....we onl...

the 100K to 56K sounds like the slope resistor in the tone stack. I've beat this to death here, but if you really want a kick in the butt, redo the preamp to 50's tweed specs, do this to the normal channel after wiring it through the reverb circuit and giving it reverb/tremelo....change the .1 and ....

A while back I built 2 single 12" JBL cabs....out of birch plywood. I actually made them ported, closed back to begin with and they sounded great, but after careful A-B-ing I liked the high end out of an open back cab better so I opened them up

PMS

I use the reverb on my twin as well, but a digital reverb that I've found which sounds absolutly wonderful, and use it on my Marshalls, is a little Alesis NanoVerb....99 bucks!....sounds great!....nice delay too

Doug is a great guy and has any part you need....good prices

Yep!

Emmons

BTW, which one does Buddy play?.....ha!

PMS
Britney's Lil' Louisiana Love Doggie

Yep!....Tweed-modified SF twin...smokin'!

"Now I feel guilty. I've never taken my amps out for a picnic. "

Me either!....I was always a little "antsy" about doing that!....ha!....sorry

PMS

Oh yeah, I forgot, I used to run 2 12" JBL's in the nuclear powered evil tweeded twin.....but carrying that thing resulted in my right arm being approx 3 inches longer than the left....so I built another twin cab for it and mounted a 15" BW in it....sounds fantastic and I swear took what s...

Glenn, funny you should mention that, I inherited an old Peavey Artist and I slapped a JBL in that baby.....now I've got to admit, I'm not much on Peavey...I sometimes use an old Evans, but mostly my nuclear powered souped up tweed modded twin, but I gotta tell ya.....that little Artist sounds reall...
