Thanks Tim: Other than my human lifespan, I'm in no hurry so maybe one will turn up.

Anybody have a Mosvalve 500 for sale?

All banjo tips should be free, right? Anyway I've been using a teflon rod for a bar plus eq to get a pretty good dobro sound. I was tweaking the eq a bit for my banjo sound. It was OK, but at a rehear ...

Dave; The song matters too - that affects my tone the most.

Amen Donny: My old country band works that way - vocals only through the PA (and maybe some kick drum). It is so fun. My other bar band is "great" by all accounts, and we play festivals wi ...

First thing is make sure its hooked up right Smile

I like your observation that it looks like a baby steel. You should put a matching emblem on the front (and maybe a set of baby pedal rods)

Make sure you are damping the strings well with your hand behind the bar.

Take a piece of low-density foam, a rag or paper towel and slip it inside the spring?

I'm thinking of upgrading my beater practice board/lap steel. I want to replace the cheap wood-mounted guitar tuners with a keyhead. I don't need anything fancy, and I don't need the tuners...

The first thing I would do is plug your pedal board into the amp, then unscrew the guitar cord cover at the amp input end to expose the terminals. Use a voltmeter to measure the DC voltage at these am ...

My wife got us tickets for Christmas. I couldn't believe it.

nice to hear!

Actually pretty easy. In both directions, the solvent went straight through the changer into a towel without getting any on either the topside or bottomside finishes.

Yeah, mine never got bad enough to worry about, but I figured periodic prophylactic flushings can't hurt. I flushed it first about 10 years after I got it, from both top and bottom. A lot of black stu ...
