Still looking... Also interested in regular shaped...

Hi all

I'm looking for one of Neil Russell's teardrop or regular shaped weissenborns, so if you have one for sale, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks!
Hans

Thanks - and true but you still have some pull-offs and stuff so still nice to be in the right tuning. Anyway, open C seems to be working pretty well for me.

Thanks Nic! I will try those. I have played almost exclusively in open D and when I tried that briefly, it sounded way off so I wanted to check on here before I ventured deeper into it Smile

Hi,

Can someone tell which tuning the lap steel player uses in this video? Great band by the way, Hermanos Gutiérrez:

Thanks!
Hans

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Does anyone know if these other brands (besides Hudson) are about the same weight? That would be about 15 lbs.

And it would be great to hear from others that hav ...

Hi all,

I just found out about these which might just suit my need for a pedal steel that I don't need a car to transport. Has anyone tried one of these and care to tell about the experience? I'm l ...

Perfect - thanks. It does look like I will have to find something other than my Gibson BR-6 if it's to work. There really isn't much space behind the bridge on that one.

I'll see if I can find some ...

Thanks Peter and Peter!

Peter Funk: Great playing! Do you have any idea how much space behind the bridge is required for the Duesenberg?

Peter den Hartogh: The Hipshot knee lever sounds very i ...

Hi Lee,

That sounds very interesting - especially with the pedal option. I have just sent you a private message to hear more about this.

Oh, and I didn't mean to write in my last message that I ...

Thanks guys,

Edit* About the tuning question I was planning to play in Open D or with the 6 strings tuned to the top 6 strings of how a 10-string E9 pedal steel is tuned (so from high to low):

Hi all,

Wanting to get closer to a pedal steel sound, I have recently learned about the option of fitting string benders on a lap steel. Searching the forum, I have found some of you that have trie ...

Nice!

Hi Roman,

It's a feeling that I'm not quite getting enough "difference" in volume when it's not set at silent. Also, I read somewhere that you need to strike the string at silent and then ...

Hi again,

So, I ended up buying the Boss FV-500H volume pedal since it has the minimum volume knob. One thing I've started to notice, though, is that I can't really use the knob for that much since ...

Thanks for all the advice, guys!

@Paul Seager - I had pretty much settled on the Ernie Ball EB6180 VP-JR, but reading your post, I've gotten concerned that I might miss the option to set a minimum ...

Thanks, Dom! That sounds like a cool and useful unit.

I've also sent you a PM Smile

.

Thanks,
Hans

For live performance, I just use a little delay and reverb. Usually whatever is built in the amp.

Great - so with the Ernie Ball I should be able to get about as close to the sound in the youtube c ...

Perfect! While I'm at it - do you have any other pedals in your arsenal that I might find of interest? Smile

And based on the link to your studio I guess you have tried the ernie ball for a lot of differ ...

Thanks, Dom! So, are you using the exact same one as in the first link, the "Ernie Ball EB6180 VP-JR"? And is that the "passive" one? Also, do you know if there would be any advant ...

Thanks, Stephen, that sounds great.

Do you know if there are any advantages to this model: http://www.thomann.de/dk/ernie_ball_eb6181.htm

or if there are other Ernie Ball (or other brands) that ...

Hi all,

So I would like to be able to make my Gibson BR-6 lap steel do the same sort of "creeping" sound as the pedal steel in this clip: http://youtu.be/rJG5qUuAkEE?t=3m47s

As far as ...

Perfect George! I'll give those gauges a go.

Thanks for the help,
Hans

Thanks for the replies everyone!

@Joe Burke: Great to hear! What gauge are you using for Open D (if you ever play in that tuning)?

Oh, sorry, I forgot to write that I'm playing in Open D tuning - guess that makes my suggested gauge a bit more realistic Smile

And I've played lap slide for several years - just never experienced suc ...
