Ol' Fred

Has anyone tried playing pedal steel through either of these amps? It seems that with the emulation possibilities something may be close? The price and weight considerations are attractive. Oh yeah, t ...

Thanks guys - Great arrangement and well played.

I have always been a Soundblaster user, but when the OEM X/Fi on my Dell went bad, I had trouble finding a replacement. Due to my dual video card set up my PCIE slot was no longer available, so I had ...

I would appreciate it if someone with a G2 would care to share the positions on the bellcranks and changer where you have your rods for lowering 5,6, and 10 a full step. I have that change on my 4th p ...

Hey Tony, I'm gonna try to make this one. Could you get me an address for the Ol' Garmin? I hope to steal some new licks to steel - I'm borin' myself, and my wife, to death with my old ones.

I got my first Rains when Bob was still there. Since then I ordred and got another one. I sent my 06 back for the upgrade and had it back in less than two weeks. Of course, this has been a good while ...

Peavy? Made in China? Is nothing sacred?

Hey Tony, That is a beautiful guitar. I am impressed with the mechanics shown on their web site. Hope to get to see and hear it in the near future.

Ol Fred

Even though I don't have a Rains guitar at the present, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about them or Gary Carpenter. Both are first class. A lot of compliments on tone while playing a Rains.

Just got my first guitar with slots (Mullen G2). When restringing, by far the slots. After that, I don't see any difference. It certainly would not be a deal breaker to me. JMO, Ol' Fred

I came up with a solution - that within itself is pretty scary. Ol' Fred

If anyone's ever added a pedal kit to a G2, what is the secret for installing the bent cross rod without disassembling the guitar. It is easy enough without the nylon insert but it seems impossible wi ...

What can be used to snug up tunable split screws short of Loctite? They need to be where they can be adjusted but not easily work loose. I have considered trying pipe thread dope?

Is anyone aware of an equalizer or anything one could use to get an acceptable tone playing steel through a PA? Thanks - Ol' Fred

Does the Mullen Royal Precision models have tunable splits? From the pictures I've seen, it doesn't appear so. I'm considering buying one and would like to know. Thanks, Ol' Fred
