I am not sure where this needs to go, but I am interested in seeing if any of ya'll would be willing to share or trade song charts. I have some, but I do not have any of the newer country songs. I re ...

Installed the Basslite 2012 into my Mustang 3 amp. It worked like a charm. Took out four screws and unplugged the positive and negative connectors. The new speaker was an exact fit. The mustang 3 is ...

I ordered the Basslite 2012 today after a response to an email. The gentleman has been using this speaker in his Mustang 3 and loves it. He said he purchased another speaker and put in a different a ...

I think you the folks at Beard guitar are top notch. They are definitely leaders in there field. A quick call to Denny may be all you need.

I checked my Mustang 3 and the speaker is indeed an 8 ohm. Believe it or not I heard my first Travis Toy speaker tonight. It was a 12 inch and it sounded great. The mustang 3 is a 100 watt amp so I ...

Thank you Donny. I checked the back of my Mustang 3, there is plenty of room for the speaker and I can definitely enclose the back if I want. The only thing I did not understand is the impendence. ...

I left a comment on the video. John Gould also used the Bassman. I was considering the Basslite 2012 but since the back is open on the Mustang Amp I was afraid that the speaker would not work correc ...

Larry,
That sounds amazing and wonderful, so much better than the speaker I have today in my Mustang 03. I know I am not the level player in the recording, but I did not hear any harshness at all. ...

I am a very new PSG player. I am a dobro player by trade. I play in a lot of acoustic jams and I have been asked to play my pedal steel in some of those jams. I would really like to do this because ...

I am such a newbie to the pedal steel. If I am on my 4th fret that is an G# or Ab chord not a Bb chord. Sorry. Now you know why I definitely need to simplify things. LOL

After tuning up my new set up, I have discovered several other things that I can do very easily. IF I depress pedal 4 and 5 it gives me the minor and flat 5 of what ever fret I am on. If I am on the ...

I posted several days ago about wanting to lower the g# string a half step and lower the b string a half step on pedal 4 for the G# and pedal 5 for the B. I also am changing to the Day set up so I ca ...

Thank you for all the quick replies. It boggles my mind how many ways you can do something with this instrument. I come at this from playing the dobro and the blues that is why i was so interested i ...
