The Sho Bud is sold.. Please close this one up. Forum donation coming...

Thanks everybody.

I'm selling my Bud. Too much back strain for me to move now, unfortunately. The guitar includes the hard shell case and a Sho Bud volume pedal. george L's pickup with six position selector switch. C ...

I have one I will sell you. PM me if interested.

Jim Simon--What you've been through sounds like a nightmare and a half. I would like to talk to you and will try to give you a call. I hope that after all you have gone through that you are getting so ...

Hi Russ! Read what Ron Page says about exercise for the back. You might be able to avoid serious trouble later on by getting those back muscles strong now.

From what I've read, once you start to have ...

Thanks Ariel, Charles and Roy--I'm getting some good ideas here.

I met with my neurosurgeon yesterday. First thing I discovered is that I have three herniated discs--not one. The doc said that my bac ...

Roy--Yes, I meant to ask you about your recovery time! Got a little confused there--wrote Steve and meant Roy. Hey, I may be dumb but I'm slow. http://steelguitarforum.com/biggrin.gif

Thanks for tha ...

I see I am not alone and I have great empathy for all of you who are dealing with back troubles. I felt ten feet tall and bulletproof until I herniated that disk. Now, I'm feeling pretty humbled.

Roy and Steve--I just saw your responses, which came in as I was making my reply.

Steve--Thats the route I'm looking at. I don't want surgery if there's any chance that I can get better without it. I ...

I'd like to thank everyone for the responses. I feel lucky to be associated with such a compassionate group of people. I've even had a couple of personal e-mails from people who don't know me and were ...

To begin, I am now afflicted with a herniated disk. Seems like I read all the time about steelers who have back problems. Obviously, the weight of the instrument and amp don't help matters, but what a ...

I suspect that there are thousands of players who share your sentiment. Jeff was an amazing man and teacher.

Sometimes life doesn't seem fair.

Ken--If you do make up some kits, please e-mail me and let me know. I know I'm in need of some new filter caps too, but Georgia is an expensive shipping proposition. Could you tell me what I need and ...

Are you talking about the LIVE album "Redneck Jazz Explosion" or the studio album called "Redneck Jazz?"

I could care less about credentials. If thats what I am supposed to judge any of you by, then shame on me. Not that I don't place certain players in my own definition of "legendary" status, but I thin ...

The only "gotcha" I can think of is that some universals put the knee levers in different places. I gave a lesson today to guy who had a steel with the "D" lever (e to eb) on left knee right, and mine ...

I want to play it all, but I spend a fair amount of time learning classic country steel licks and ideas. I've found that if I learn the basics, those ideas can be put in other musical settings with go ...

I had a similar problem this year. I played a room that was so bad, even humbuckers had a bit of buzz. Regretfully, I took out my TruTone and put the George L's back in my steel.

I recently read that ...

Amazingly, the more I practice and play on my old steel, the better it seems to sound! http://steelguitarforum.com/biggrin.gif

I'd probably try a Pro-Mat. And have my Sho Bud rebuilt with Coop parts. Two steels is enough. Oh, wait--I lied. I'd want one of those new MSA Superslides too!

In the last week, I played three gigs with my blues group (I played guitar--not steel). The first job was recorded by the sound man and I got to hear what my tone sounded like after the fact. It dawne ...

Kevin--You want to probably get the amp to a tech who knows these amps. I second all Jerry says and would add that there are probably some resistors that drop the voltage that go to the preamp tubes ...

I've tried picking various ways and have come to the conclusion that a soft touch with the right hand seems to work best for me. I was once told, "Light touch with the right hand, solid pressure with ...

When I started to learn steel, it was on borrowed instruments that were S-10. Practically speaking, after trying to lift a D-10 and practically ruining my back, I decided against the D-10. When I was ...
