Thank you Dom, I really enjoyed it! I can only dream of playing like that. Laughing

I see your point Joeph. A couple of years ago I had Melbert build me an 8 string and had him install the sockets so I could use it with or without them. I can see why in your situation, that wouldn't ...

Just wondering, why not install brackets and screw in legs instead?

Great job, I like it. Really swings!

Or. . . Try a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV, (the newest version). Around 40 lbs, best sounding of the 4 versions (IMHO), less twang than a regular Fender Deluxe Reverb. I have tried it with my lap stee ...

Very nice arrangement Ethan! Especially interesting to me, being an 8 string B11 player.

I started with the Strymon Iridium. Not long after that I exchanged it for the UAFX '65 Dream. Liked that enough that I bought the UAFX '68 Lion and have been using them both on my pedal board. I a ...

I have a treble bleed on all my electrics and one on my Melbert 8 string lap steel. In my experience having the right cap/resistor values makes all the difference. If the values aren't right things ...

Yup D. Always liked After Midnight.

I love this! What a great rendition of that tune! What gear did you use to get that tone?

All good advice guys, and food for thought. I have tried a lot of these suggestions which are getting me closer. Think I will talk to Bob about his new steeltronics pickup.

Thanks guys. Cool

I play on an 8 string Melbert lap steel with a Sentell pickup. The pickup I have in it now is the fourth Sentell I have had in it. It is a nice modern sound but I am looking for more of a classic ...

For my lapsteel, archtop and acoustic I use a Raezers Edge Luna 700 with a New York 8 (single 8" speaker). It's a closed back with two small round ports in front. I switched to that from an ope ...

I'll give you $39.50 and I will pick it up! Laughing

Tom, from Chatworth Guitars says they weigh in at about 3 Oz, so they are pretty light. They are only available in the one size. 3 1/8"X 1". I usually use 3/4" or 7/8" but maybe ...

Anybody out there try Chatsworth Guitars Dark Matter Tone Bars? What do you think?

I can vouch for Marsh amps. I have the blackface Princeton Reverb and Blackface Deluxe Reverb. Love them both. Just my own personal experience.

That's actually pretty cool.

I have the Dream on my pedal board and run it directly to FOH-no amp, just in ears or headphones. Signal chain is: guitar, pedalboard, '65 Dream, direct box, PA system. It's the best sound I have go ...

Could you also give the weight and what kind of pickups are in it?

Great idea! Think I'll get one and just leave the wheels on it. Won't be long and I can use it to get me to the car after a gig too. Rolling Eyes

I also really appreciate the tabbing and scoring. I first heard the tune via Jerry Gleason on YouTube. I like the chord voicings on the McAuliffe E13 but was having a hard time making sense of them ...

Cool, thanks.

Nice arrangement guys, thanks for posting it! Have a question for the guitar player. I play non pedal steel and also jazz guitar. You have a nice tight, snappy, percussive tone. Can you tell what t ...
