The older one with the attached cord. Not sure what they go for these days so make an offer. You pay shipping.

When I play straight up blues in E I usually use the 3rd fret with the A pedal, and the 8th fret with my RKL lever. In other words, I use the typical E minor positions.

Are there any other useful ...

As I try to learn how to use a volume pedal(VP) to increase sustain, I keep thinking there must be an easier way. From what I understand, when a VP is used properly you go through two stages. These n ...

I admit I had never heard of Mr. Winston (I’m 32) until two weeks ago. I asked a local steel hero for some lessons and before we even start he wants me to buy Winnie Winston’s book. So… he’ ...

I have a very small practice space and sometimes I use a lap top to play practice tracks. How concerned should I be about setting the lap top next to my amp? That giant magnet can’t be good.

Are there any retailers out there that sell finger pick sample packs so you could try a bunch of different styles and sizes at once?

Jerry, about the seat belt thread -

Sorry it turned into a joke before you got any serious answers. I don't think anyone meant harm.

Can anyone point me to a book with Ray Price style intros and solos for fiddle?

thanks

Well it was a really great show! A very tight band lead by an unbelievable voice. Mr. Loessberg hung around and talked to a few local steelers after the show. Seems like a real nice guy.

Yes, I am muting with my trailing fingers ever since I started lap steel years ago. But to my surprise when I got my first PSG last year my trailing fingers were no help on fret 12.

I can get a nice tone out of anywhere on the neck except the 12th fret. The natural harmonics of that position fight the picked tone resulting in a 'plunk' sound. After the plunk, what little sustain ...

From what I've seen on Youtube Ray's voice is still top notch too. I'm really looking forward to it.

I might go see Ray Price next weekend. Who's playing steel for him right now?

I’ve been toying around with a Beringher Vamp 2 for a while. It’s OK, but I’d like something simpler. I really only need reverb, EQ and a tuner, not a modeler.

Are there any simple all in o ...

Thanks, but no pedal on this amp.

I forgot all about the problem (and this thread I started) until it happened again tonight. Oh well, guess I'll have someone look at it.

Thanks again.

I was actually at Lowes yesterday looking for some kind of tool box I could attach legs and a seat to and they had these in the isle.

Bought my steel from Mr. Flood. Great service.

Yes, it would look pretty dumb on stage, but I bet it would work!

True, but the iPad can only run one app at a time from what I understand, and there's a problem with flash video at the moment. That would be a deal breaker for me. That doesn't mean the Asus is the ...

The model I mentioned above can go for under $500. Plus it can do e-mail and all the other tasks a little computer could do.

I know he probably wants to speak with someone in person, but the best thing he could do in the mean time is join the forum.
