I bought my Milkman about 5 years ago. I have always found it to be quite noisier than I would like, but the it is the best sounding amp I have come across, so I put up with the noise. However, it has ...

If you are ok with standard size, then you should be ok with the 25". Hopefully the issues with my guitar are a one off.

I took delivery of my new Williams S10 a few months ago. The issues with it started on day 1. These are the issues so far:

1. I asked for my guitar to be the same height as my Carter. Carter adapte ...

Thanks Jon I have had a go at adjusting the stop on my D lever. The top D raise is now fine, but the low raise now has gone out. I have been readjusting this but I can only get one of the raises to li ...

Hi All

I am trying to tune my D lever, but once I get it to D sharp, the open E string goes out. It's that old chasing my tail problem. I cannot tune up the raise without tuning up the open string ...

Hey Dan, are pedal steel rods all the same thread size? This looks like a great solution, but I want to be sure that they will fit my rods.

Hi Guys

It's been a long time since I posted in the forum. I received my new Williams S-10 about 1 month ago. The sound is everything I could have wished for, in fact it has exceeded my expectation ...

John, I didn't know that there was a choice regarding the neck. I was assuming that it would be metal. I couldn't find anything on the website about choice of neck material.

I Have ordered a Williams S10 wide body. I have pretty much decided on the specifications apart from the pickup. It seems that the Bill Laurence 705 is the obvious choice. This is what BJ Cole went wi ...

I have just purchased a Quilter Tonebloc 202 with TT 12 and overall it is a vast improvement on my Milkman. except when it comes to the heavier rock side of things. I use an earth drive pedal and thro ...

Hi Tim. It's around 5 months.

My caption for Michael Meader's picture:

"Well officer Michael was speed picking. He got faster and faster until there was an explosion, and all that was left of him was his shoes!"

That's a real beauty Ian - thanks for the pic. Yes, funnily enough, the colour of the knockoff is exactly what I am looking for. Like I said, Bill said he could do a yellow, but I can't picture what t ...

Hi all

I have ordered a Williams S10 and I need to decide on the colour. The colour examples on the website aren't particularly helpful as it's hard to imagine exactly what they would look like on ...

Thanks for posting the change lock info Richard. I watched the video attached to it, demonstrating the change lock. Unfortunately it is in German, although he does demonstrate the 2 tunings and it sou ...

Hi All

Has anyone heard of this set up before? Someone is selling a WBS pedal steel in the UK. It is an SD10 with the choice of e9 or C6. To change the tuning, there is a lever underneath and accor ...

I've always played in bare feet or socks. I try every now and again to play in shoes, but I can't. I need to feel the pedals directly to ensure I am hitting the correct pedal.

Thanks for all your replies guys. The distortion is still there and the after a rehearsal last night I noticed that as well as distortion the pickup is really quiet. I had to use my fuzz pedal (with t ...

Yeas thanks I put in some foam, That solves one problem, but now I am getting distortion. Any ideas?

Hi All

I fitted my long awaited LXR16 to my carter. The only problem is that I need to adjust the height. My 705 was fine height wise, but this one is too far from the strings. There is no spring m ...

Thanks guys - you came through for me again. I have ordered my Bill Laurence LXR - 16 and it is on it's way.

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a Bill Laurence XR-16? Searches on the internet come up empty. I am currently using a 705 on my Carter and it's too muddy. I read on this forum that the XR ...

Thanks for your responses guys. It's not the reverb causing the noise as I have test that by unplugging it. I use humbucking pickups (Bill Laurence). I have emailed Tim Marcus re: your suggesting this ...

I have had my Milkman for about four years. I can't remember if the buzz/hum it makes has always been there or not. It is becoming more of a problem lately because I am doing more recording. On quiet ...
