Finally...
Amplified is just like even 10 times better. This humbucker/dobro pickup combination is fantastic.
Round, fat, big sound. A lot of presence. Very very colorful.

Hi again!
Someone was asking how my new Industrial is...
Well, I got it today. I only had the chance to try it unplugged, but it's enough to make me an idea about what a good instrument I ordered. I ...

Hi!!!
I ordered a Bent Rail Mini-Rez with an Armstrong mini humbucker and a dobro pickup. How does it look to you?
The price is a bit higher than for the standard series (about 1000$), but I'm sure ...

Hi!!!
I just got a mail from Mr. Fouke saying that my Industrial beauty will be done in about two weeks. I just can't wait! I'll tell you more about that when I have it in my own lap...

Any idea about how the combination of an Industrial Mini-Rez with a dobro pickup would work?? I'm thinking about ordering one like that... sounds fun

Thanks! I think I'll go for it...

Is it a standard Indy Rail?

Maybe playing it cello-style? I don't see why, but maybe it's to be played like that...

Yes, Get a Fouke!
Hey!
You have an Indy Rail! How is it?

It seems to me that if he bought an Industrial lap steel he would be supporting a current manufacturer of steels.
LOL Yes, probably...
I'm actually mailing with Mr.Fouke and trying to decide the ext ...

Why not support one of the several Makers of New Steels?

Who???? How???

Did anyone try the mini reso?

Regarding the Industrial Rail, it seems fine to me but I've never tried one. From what I hear, they sound "different" due to their hollow aluminum construction. I started a thread recently a ...

Can I assume that the symbols just above the staff are for an accompanist?

I did visit it. It looks like something I'll have to visit regularly!

I read that thread some days ago. On the other hand, there were no bad comments! That's why I decided to visit Fouke's page.

Why doesn't almost anybody use open minor tuning?
I thought about tuning in Em7. Is is stupid? That would be low to high: EBEGBD. That provides both major and minor chords. And since the styles I wou ...

I happen to prefer 6 string lap steels but I can see why 8 strings are liked by many.
Can I ask why and why not?
(thanks for the input!)

Since you're not a guitar player, you should start on 8-string. This will give you more possibilities and it's not too complex.
I've played guitar for 16 years, but stopped practising long ago.
I ...

Hi!!!
Thanks for the feedback! Please carry on, I'll consider every single possibility.

Hi everybody!
I'm a percussion player but for some reason I'm considering to get a lap steel (since pedal steel seems too hard and I have enough practising my own instrument...)
Let's see... I fell ...
