I couldn't agree more! The legs that Don made for me are top notch. He is fast, great to work with and very, very reliable.

Jussi - you got home quickly!!

Guys, I do have to "second" everything Jussi says...JWs new disc is a really fine example of everything I love about music. The players are top notch; the recording qua ...

Just downloaded it. Very nice...I dig the harmony vox. Mike, how was it recorded?

I have a Fender Vol/Tone pedal. I never noticed until recently how much my tone changes when I plug it in. There is some volume loss and over all loss of signal clarity, (regardless of where the tone ...

Greetings Brothers!

The last time I saw a discussion on this it seemed that the people who had or had tried both the Bigsby pedal and Fender pedal seemed to prefer the Fender. I have a Fender and it works fine (after I r ...

I see that most people are disappointed with these lap steels. I have one and it screams! It's easy to play (which for is easy to say because I suck at steel). I think if the price is right, $0-$200, ...

I beleive that Duane Marrs did a prototype pedal similar to that when he worked at Sho-Bud. I e-mailed the seller and he says when you plug it in there is a small red light on the side that lights up. ...

I just got "Dekes Guitar Geek Festival" DVD today. This is a must have for anyone who digs the "retro" stuff. JW and TK do an amazing job of banging out a handful of Speedy and Jimmy tunes. They also ...

BW~

Thanks for idea, I'll give it a try...however due to my intensely retarded nature, I will most likely end up poking one of my eyes out!

Well, I've tried major thirds and it doesnt seem quite right, maybe a combo of major and minor thirds....

This is a bit off topic, but I need help settling an argument regarding Stratosphere Boogie. Does anyone here know (as in definitively!) How Jimmy Bryant tuned the 12 string neck of his Stratosphere T ...

David,

I'm pretty sure it's Jeremy Wakefield. He's done most (if not all) the Steel work for Spongebob. If you do a search (I believe this topic has been discussed) You'll find a lot more info on thi ...

Does anyone use bakelite bars, like the old Nick Manoloff ones? I have one and I find it really easy to use and I like the tone of it. I know a lot of players prefer a heavy bar (for better sustain?) ...

Just a quick post here...awhile back I made an inquiry on getting legs for a mid 50's Gibson Consolette D8. Don Burrows sent me an e-mail and told me he could fabricate some for me and boy did he! The ...

The funny thing to me is, I see Uke as being more embarassing! When I think of Hawaii I think of Don Ho and Tiny Bubbles. What is upsetting about that statement is the reference to 'corny redneck coun ...

Ok, Bobbe Seymour says his legs are NOT a direct fit, meaning I would have to buy the sockets and route out my Steel. I don't want to modify my steel. Still looking for the specs on the thread end of ...

Does anyone know the thread specs for the legs on a mid 50's Gibson console? And/or if the legs that Bobbe Seymour sells will be the correct fit?

Hey Jussi,

Thanks for the info, that makes sense regarding the AB classification. It does have a JBL D-130F in it, which for my money is the best speaker around. It’s very efficient. I’m actually ...

Ok, here is my question, I have a Standel "Custom" L83 from the early 60's. It is one of the hybrid models with two power tubes, one pre-amp tube AND transistors. So, is this Class A, AB…??? To my e ...
