New for 2015 - "Bessdang Gizmos"

Post by Dale Hansen »

Sometimes I'm absentminded.
A couple of times, in the past I've created a new gizmo,.. Then, forgot to tell anybody about it...
Not this day. Today, I'd like to introduce my three most recent fabrications, and even explain em' a bit.
First up, the Pro II scaffs. The Pro II's are a sturdier set of scaffs, with a 10 degree lift, for a heavier, loaded pedal board. Longer supports, longer struts, and an additional side stabilizer offers a very stable platform. The upward tilt displaces some of the weight back towards the center, and provides a 'friendlier' dashboard view.

Next up, the "Rouse-T-bout". It is a hybrid combo of a Slyde-car, and a Snugg-tray.
The combo offers separation of the pick & bar tray- with a handy, utility platform for an FX unit, tuner, etc.
*I'm gonna offer these either with, or without a border rail.

Thirdly, the "Tick".
The "Tick", is a super handy, portable, chart holder -(music stand) that utilizes a single leg clip, for a "no fuss" solution to hold tablature, number charts, a tuner, your iPhone, or whatever...

For a look at these items, & more, visit my FB site. (The little house - w/ the "www" bubble at the bottom will take you over there...
(I would post the pix -here-, but the Forum 'up-loader' was pitching a real fit, for some reason)
Thanks again, blessings, & happy pickin'..
Your pal, Dale

Rouse-T-Bout

Post by Joe Rouse »

Dale Hansen made me the Rouse-T-Bout special to answer my needs. When I placed the order Dale mentioned he had to order material and then we discussed some ideas he had and I agreed with all he wanted to do. The unit is all I thought it would be and built solid and looks good. Dale does a good job on anything he sells and a good man to do business with...Joe Rouse

Thanks. Joe. But, you left out the best part of the story...
Afterwards, Joe graciously agreed to let me name the new production line after his last name...hence, ROUSE -T- bout
It never would have happened with a fella named Joe "Lipschitz", I confess.
Thanks again, Joe, for the kind words- and, having a 'user friendly' name....🙈🙉🙊

I went to his FB website and saw a lot of gizmos, but I couldnt find a picture of the "tick", the thingy that is a music stand that clips to one leg of the steel. What am I over looking there ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thank you, Jim
Nice to hear from you again. I had kind of a rough late Summer, and Fall, but I ought to be back for a good long while, this time.
Thanks again, for your kind sentiments.

I have several of Dale's products. Well built and functional. Dale is also a great guy to deal with.
Zum SD-12 Black, Zum SD-12 Burly Elm Several B-Bender Tele's and a lot of other gear I can't play.

I spent half my money on gambling, alcohol and wild women. The other half I wasted. W.C. Fields
