I have BJS 7/8 and 15/16 bars. The 15/16 sounds good, but I was never sure I liked the heavier feel, so making them the same weight sounds like a smart idea. But why a 12 string bar - that's a little ...

Chris,
The artists you mentioned all have some good tunes; sometimes they even have some great steel as well. However, a lot of the new tunes don't inspire me much (at least in the sense of wanting t ...
