In my experience, it's all an aggregate of the different parts, but when it comes to "modern vs. vintage", my feeling tells me that the biggest factor is the pickups.

🤔 Yeah I guess I'd rather have a more traditional double-neck

On that note... Why don't (or didn't) I seem more 12/6 double necks with a trem on the 6? I would think that would usually be a ...

Very interesting episode. This is the one where Noel Boggs' daughter brings in his quad neck Fender a few years ago, but the other six are pretty interesting too.

Hi forum,

I have a kit just like that. I've never had any problems, Chris. Confused

Just close-mic the snare and toms with SM57s in the usual fashion and you'll be fine.

I wonder how it's set up - does it have a truss rod or doesn't it need one??

Maybe they have one big truss rod to do both necks. No, that doesn't make any sense at all...but we're talking about pe ...

I assure you, I have no idea who this seller is.

I have always liked the Alesis Midiverb II. They're kind of old and basic, but the basic aspect is what I like about them. Simple, straight-forward, and gets the job done.

I just saw the video and it was great. I would say that this is as close to being "him" as you can get, and it has his seal of approval, so if it sounds good, it is good.

"Walkin basin and canal" is about all I hear too. Maybe a Louisiana forumite can let us know if that phrase makes enough sense.

Jim used to have a couple vids on pedal steel on his YouTube channel and the one on E9 basics convinced me I could actually learn the instrument.

Minor seventh chords are said to be the saddest chord form
What? Who says that? Confused

I think those are less sad than a plain old minor triad — more like an "oh well" kind of feel.

There's my old guitar. It did clean up nice.

Yes it is! Last guy who owned it was Willie Farris. I wonder if he still has it. 🤔

For those who are wondering, this is the type of puller that ...

He was a great innovator. His pull system was genius. He left a mark that will never be erased.

Canadian Railroad Trilogy was one of the primary songs that pushed me over the edge into playing steel.

Gordon Lightfoot will always be an unforgettable sound, and a true symbol of Canada.

I used to have a Blanton D-10 with a knife-edge system, and it seemed to work great and make all the sense in the world, where the finger only rotates a few degrees. With a stiffer fulcrum and lower ...
