Pretty sure I'm going to go for a Gold Tone at this point. It probably wont be until spring or so, but that's the direction I'll likely go.

I've been wanting to pick up a squareneck resonator for a while now, and I think it's time to start looking around, but I have no idea what I'm looking for.

I've been playing a lap steel in standar ...

I can't wait to hear that. Both guys are monster players.

I really like the stuff Roosevelt did with Andy Thorn on electric banjo, too. That'd make a pretty sweet album as well.

Gigs around here don't pay enough for me to schlep 2 amps so I use a Peavey Blues classic it's a classic 50 with 1-15 works perfectly for steel and guitar.
BTW There is no such th ...

Trust me, one of Tim's amps is on my list, unfortunately, it's probably 3 or 4 years away at least. And honestly, I think I'd probably buy the Creamer first. I love the sound of that amp (and I'm mo ...

Let me clarify.

I already purchased (well, put on layaway) a Fender Super Sonic Twin. Unless I hate it on PSG, I'm not really looking for anything else at this point, I've got plenty of other GAS ...

I was visiting my parents a few weeks ago and made my rounds of the local music shops. One of them had a used Fender Super Sonic Twin in pretty much new condition with a road case for $1000.

I did like the feel of the EB pedal. I'm going to watch for a side jack one, as well.

I actually had one with side jacks about 6-7 years ago, but I didn't use it much and lent it to a friend. I ...

When I read someone above saying something about the front jacks on the Ernie Ball, I thought to myself "That wont bother me..." Good thing I tried one with my PSG before ordering. What a ...

My band recently picked up a 2nd guitar player, which has allowed me to start actually playing PSG. I made my debut last week at a gig. It went well, I definitely had some flubs, but that was expect ...

I almost picked that amp up! Congrats on the nice score! I'm sure once you get that reverb sorted out and the speakers fixed up, it's going to sound awesome.

If I were going to buy a new Fender amp, it would either be one of the Eric Clapton models, or one of the new 68 Custom models (either the DR or the PR). I've not played the Princeton, but I have pla ...

That's pretty cool that John Mayer has switched to Milkman amps.

For 6 string guitar, I don't like big amps. I had a 100 watt amp for a long time, and it was WAAAAY too loud for my needs. 15-30 w ...

That's him. Great player is an understatement (Corb's whole band is top notch).

I meant to try to catch up with him after the show to compliment his playing and his tone, but he looked busy, so I ...

And I was blown away. I was at a Corb Lund show and his guitar player uses a Creamer with no pedals of any kind. His tone with his tele was very rich and very full, exactly the kind of 6 string soun ...

You might also try a different adapter between the 1-Spot and the Holy Grail. It's possible that there's an issue with the adapter.

I'd venture to guess that fully tube PAs would be far too heavy to be practical. The PA that my band uses regularly is about 2000w. That's a lot of tubes!

I had a Lonestar 2x12 for a long time. I traded it in a few years ago and am still kicking myself. It sounded great with every guitar and pedal I ever used with it. I definitely miss that amp.

I ...

As far as guitar amps go, Mesa-Boogie is making a 25 watt two channel version of the Mark V that weighs something like 18 lbs. It has a five band graphic EQ as well. It's just a head, you'd have to ...

Sounds like she could have used an in ear monitor. Unless there was too much bass/guitar/drums being picked up in her mic.

Usually it was picking up too much electric guitar and drums, since she s ...

But Brad!
We miked everything. We didn't play loud onstage, and we had monitors. The vocals were all miked, as was the acoustic guitar. Why doesn't that apply for fiddles. I would think fiddle pl ...

My g/f is also a fiddle player and we had a heck of a time getting her sound dialed in when she and I joined an alt-country band.

She started with a Fishman pickup and an LR Baggs ParaAcoustic DI ...

I really dig this kind of service. There aren't a lot of good stores near me, especially for pedals, and it makes it very hard for me to try anything out. I don't mind dropping $50 on an pedal I've ...

I've been practicing with a 68 SF Bassman into a 15" and it sounds good to my inexperienced ear. I've only turned it up to 2.5 so far though, so I don't know how early it will break up with a PS ...

Good to know.

Maybe a PV Steel amp will hold me over until I can afford one of Tim's amps. Then I wont be stuck with a Twin I'll never use after getting a Milkman.
