I'm the last guy to crack open an amp, but I did the install of the chips in my NV1000 and it went off without a hitch. It took about 25 minutes and that was with me being as meticulous as possible. R ... | |

Am lefty and play lefty steel...lefty.

Rusty is a very cool person and easy to talk to. I've had the privilege of visiting with him a few times and he's a lot of fun.
Like Herb, I was at those Troubador shows as well back in the day. I ... |

I agree that you'll get a hundred different answers on this. I have a couple of amps for steel but the NV100 is the most expensive.
By that I mean when I crank it to 8 or so, the wife heads for the ... |

Being a life-long lefty and owning 15 guitars including one of Mr. Roy Thomas' pedal steels; the pursuit of left handedness and obtaining instruments to accomodate this has turned into quite an ambiti ... | |

I'm just another advocate of the Shure SM57 because it works and if you drop it from four or five feet; it still works. When it finally gives out you can replace it for under a C-note.
I record the ... |

Tell Bobbe to jump start you with some of his DVDs. They are very informative and I've used a lot of them. He is such a cool guy that he might even throw in one of his CDs on the deal. | |

Wasn't on steel, but was on mandolin for this bluegrass group. I played left-handed and I guess was somewhat of a novelty. The majority of the band at the time were in their 40's and I was still in co ... | |

The question was what was Rusty's dobro tuning- if memory serves, I asked him several years ago and I believe the answer is an open G tuning. The first Poco record was almost all detuned a half step. | |

Poco in Los Angeles in 1968. My friend and I snuck into the Troubador and hung around the stage area. I had never seen a steel played live before and Rusty Young was incredible. I think he was playing ... | |

My earliest exposure was from a record my mom gave me that had Carl Smith, Lefty Frizzell, and Ray Price on it. Tons of steel, but I didn't know what it was. The next time I heard the instrument was w ... | |

For those who know Bobbe (and that number is huge), his uplifting spirit and genuine friendship is worth more than all the tips I could get watching his videos. He is the player's player. Whether you ... | |
