Hi John,

My guess is that it's my Sierra you're considering buying as it's on Ebay & the British Steelies site at the moment(I could be wrong). Much as I'd like you to buy it as I need the mone ...

Hey Bobby,

Well said. When I bought my first steel 6 years ago it was really hard to find much info on pedal steel playing here in the UK. Without this forum and all b0b's hard work I would have been ...

Thanks guys, sounds like this is the way forward.

Cheers,

Matt

Has anyone used these kits from Bobbe Seymour (http://www.steelguitar.net/)
The legs on my steel extend further than the pedal rods will cope with and these look to be cheaper (and easier to ship) tha ...

Now if they'd taught us about the physics of sound THAT way at university then we might have listened!

Hi Richard,

Lovely playing. I love Sunday in Dixie, I've got a cassette with a crackly old vinyl recording of it knocking about somewhere, I'll have to dig it out and have another listen.

Scott :

Yep, still playing the Sierra, it's a great instrument to play and I think it'll last me for years - as long as my back can take the weight! Thanks again for being such a help during the sale ...

Jerry,

Don't worry, it didn't come across as a sermon, just as someone putting another idea forward. Maybe I'll move the BooWah to pedal 4, put the old pedal 4 on 8 and leave the knees where they are ...

I think it's the Kronenberg ad where the guy wanders round trying to find a seat to enjoy his pint in peace. The track sounds great, it's got that lovely directness you get from earlier country tracks ...

Thanks Jerry, it's interesting to hear your views on keeping it the same. I've got the Newman Universal video course and the way he explains the setup makes so much sense I wanted to try it. I'm certa ...

I've heard BJ Cole play through a Standel using his Williams and his triple neck Bigsby and it sounded absolutely amazing. That said I also heard him play my Bennett student steel through a Peavey and ...

Thanks for the replies. Basically, my copedent is the standard Sierra universal, you can see it here (this is the steel I bought from Scott Swartz on the forum a couple of years ago):

Thanks Jerry.

I'm kinda nervous about doing it myself so you're probably right!

Hi,

I have a Sierra Crown gearless U12 with 8&5 and I need to change the copedent. I'm not adding anything new but I want to move a couple of pedals and knee levers around. I've never done anything ...

The lady I bought it from also had a triple neck which sold for £30!! They were both made in the '70s by her boyfriend's uncle apparently. Seems like the intonation etc is sound but kind of hard to t ...

I saw Bob's name on the credits for this album, anyone know which tracks are him on steel?

cheers,

As far as I remember it's Bucky Baxter, formerly of Steve Earle's Dukes

I've got a Crown U12 keyless and it's HEAVY. I'll see if I can find the shipping info for it and let you know the exact weight

I'm not sure I'd use the word snob, but it seems a shame to miss out on so much music simply because it doesn't have a certain instrument in it. As a musician I often find the most pleasure in hearing ...

Hi Mick,

Just spoke to John, it's a guy in Petersfield. John said he's used him and he's great. Once John's dug out the phone number & let me know I'll pass it on if you like.

Hope you're OK, we sti ...

Thanks Glenn, I think I'll just have to set aside plenty of time & get stuck in. At least once I've finished I'll have a better idea how it all works!

Hi,

I've got a McIntyre dobro pickup (the kind which sticks to the spider, not the newer one) and I wondered which way up it's supposed to go or if it matters (dumb question maybe but I don't have th ...

All sorted, lock this one up.
