Thank you! I'll give you a call tomorrow!

Help! I'm playing a music festival in Nashville on Saturday Sept.5 called the Muddy Roots Festival, and I don't want to transport my Rains D-10 all the way from California. I'm flying, and I'd like to ...

Had an "oh duh" moment after I posted. I contacted Tom Bradshaw and he's sending me a new pot and instructions for replacement.

Thanks!

Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has had any problems with these pedals and knows how to fix them. First off, the problem isn't a dying battery or a bad cable.
When I engage the pedal, I get a bit ...

Huh. I'll have to check that out. I did notice that it requires more force than usual to engage the pedals.

Increasing the travel did the trick! Thanks again, everybody, for your responses. I just moved the rods a couple of notches down the bell cranks, and my A and C pedals are once again raising my 5th ...

Ok, I think I got it. Thanks again, everybody. I actually have been tuning correctly. I was reading some other posts, and I guess I read the push/pull method and mistakenly figured I'd been doing s ...

Ok, I've made no improvements.

I don't think there is a broken string ball-end in there. If so, I can't find it. Do they get lodged in ways that are difficult to find? I've taken the strings off ...

Thanks for all the advice, guys! Time to get to work. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Mechanically disinclined steel player needs help!

I have a Rains D-10, and I'm having a serious problem tuning the fifth string on the E9 neck. The string tunes to B, but when I engage the A pedal ...

Thanks everybody. All of these responses are totally helpful.

This is very helpful, Keith. Thanks!

Thanks Charles! Maybe I'll bump this a couple times over the next few weeks and hope he sees it.

Is that "Day" as in Jimmy Day? I don't know. Don't know much, I'm afraid. I've been playing PSG for six years and I am still very much a beginner.
Really, I'm most curious about what thi ...

Hi folks,
My friend has this old MSA Semi-Classic, and asked me if I'd help him figure out what it might be worth. His mom traded a horse for it. She lives up in north east Texas--somewhere around ...

I'll try to get a picture up soon. By the way, my guitar is a Rains D-10, and I think it's a 2002.

What do you call those things that hold the rod into the bell crank so it doesn't slip out? Lock washers? Mine just broke for the sixth string on the E9 neck, and I can't raise my G# to A. I can't ...

Hey all,

This may seem goofy, but I'm wondering if anyone knows any cool tricks for emulating a police siren on either the E9 or C6 neck. I'm still pretty new to the pedal steel, and my band has ...

Hi Rick,
I've been muscling my way around an old Sho Bud Maverick for a few years, and it's time for me to upgrade to some nicer equipment. I'd like to take you up on this offer if it's still avail ...
