I've been thinking of trying one of these sturdy snow-blower clean-out tool clamps. The tool is 7/8" diameter so the clamp ought to work on a steel leg. It might be a little too long for some eff ...

Brian, if you google "atlas microphone stand clutch" I believe you will find what you need. You will need to thread the leg tube with a 7/8”-28 die. I did this once to some legs for a Fend ...

Wide or narrow?

I have two 80X amps and like them a lot for steel. Great sound, plenty loud, versatile, rugged, reliable, doesn't take up much room on stage or in the car trunk. Good for standard guitar as well.

I'm a fan of the Cube Street. Great grab-and-go amp tailored for busking, living room parties, and such. Plenty of sound options for the instrument channel, and it has an internal limiter circuit that ...

Bobby, my S-10 is #1479, built in 2007, and Jim says his is from 2010. Since your guitars have lower serial numbers than mine, perhaps they use an earlier method?

The screws on mine (2007 Ultra S-10) are 8-32. The originals were 8-32 x 1-1/8" stainless pan-head. One of them broke, so I replaced them all with stronger (alloy steel) ones. The new ones are a ...

Another vote for the reissue 705. I have one in my Ultra S-10 and like it a lot. I added a single-coil switch and a series-parallel switch for some variety, but I generally use the normal humbucking w ...

Hi Adam, I have two for you to consider.

Gretsch G9241 "Alligator" in new condition. This is a biscuit type resonator. I'd ask 400 with a nice heavy-duty RoadRunner gig bag.

Tim, they could be those replacement leg sockets Bobbe Seymour used to sell.

They have not been made for quite a few years now.

I love my 2007 S-10 Ultra keyless, which I bought used about 10 years ago. It sounds great and has very good sustain all the way up the neck. It plays smoothly and solidly, and has been very stable an ...

Carter S-10 pedal bar with old-style pedals is 0.200" thick. Let me know if you need a photo.

I have a very early Moyo pedal, number 012, from Glenn's first batch. It developed a little scraping/squeaking noise that turned out to be the spring rubbing on the wall of the housing. I fixed it by ...

Bump for a really great deal on a first-rate, fully loaded and tweaked D10, and it's even black. You couldn't ask for more steel for the money, or for a better seller to deal with.

I have used broom clips this way before. I put this box together over 40 years ago and used it for many years. The metal broom clips never scratched the leg of my steel. The original Webb remote rever ...

I tied a 5 lb. weight to it and it held.

Even an old Bud could sound great but be finicky to deal with. If you don’t like “fiddling” with things you had better be very careful about what you end up with.

I agree, a Sho-Bud could be ...

In my case I wanted to just try a flat for the 6th. Over the years I have used .020 and .022 plains and .022 wounds on various guitars. I thought a flat .022, with a bigger core than the .022 wound, m ...

I would check/change the power cord.

If the cord's plug has been replaced, check for a miswire there. Peavey probably powered the amp from an isolated power source, which could explain why th ...
