Hello Tony & Kevin; I send you my apologies about mentioning my 67 Cross-over model on your post; I did not wish to sell my guitar on your site; I do wish you the very best of luck in selling your Cross-over.
Kevin; you are very observent in casting your two cents worth, but I am not in need of your money right at present..
Tony; please forgive me. . Regards..Bernie [/b]
Hi folks, Been watching this topic since its beginning.My first good Pedal Steel was a Sho Bud Crossover I got in 1969 from a gent whom bought it on time payments thru a finance company and could not make the payments. I gave him what he'd paid in cash and took over his payments. I've always played thru a Twin. What a great sounding steel this was.It was one heavy SOB.I'd been playing a pull release Marlin at the time and trying to tune this Sho Bud the same as a pull release nearly gave me a complete breakdown. As usual, when all else fails, read the directions. I ended up within a month or so selling it and taking a Fender 400 cable model in trade. Had the same tuning problem with the Fender til reading the directions.Sold this off and bought a brand new Sho Bud 6139 rack and barrel. This,to me was the best steel I've ever purchased. I was fooling with different tunings and changes at the time.For me, the rack and barrel was a godsend at the time.The easiest guitar to change tunings, pedals or whatever. I used and played this steel for several years 'til I was traded out of it. Next was a Fender 1000 that I still have, just as easy to change as the"rack and Barrel". I have a Sho Bud D10 Professional now built the last work day of December, 1972. It sits in its case year after year, is almost as heavy as the crossover but does not have quite the tone. Guess what I'm trying to say, along with my history, The Sho Bud Crossover I had has a sound never duplicated, to this day.
Given my druthers and 50 years younger, I'd be playing a crossover. Forgive me for this hi jack. Some one will eventually end up with a winner.

Saw you were willing to sell the amp alone. How about the guitar? I have a boatload of amps and don't need another, even though it is a Bud. I had one back in 72. Really clean amps. But I love Albions now. Anyway, not plugging Albion, just saying. So, Anthony, if you are willing to sell the guitar, PM me with the price shipped to 91405.
Anthony reminds me of me. When someone purchases something from me, I am there the same day or next shipping it. Thanks Again Anthony. I hope you find a good replacement!
