Iâ€™ve been quite happy with mine for 10 years or more. Time flies....One of the knee levers broke the wood so I bolted it thru the cabin.

Sounds good, keeps in tune. If I just had more time t ...

If he used Space Echo, a very good emulation of a new, serviced one is Boss RE-20. It got my Space Echo to retire from gigging. (On 6 stringelectric guitar thou)

An amp case goes a long way as an amp stand.

What did they mostly use in the 50's? Fender Deluxes?

Just noticed in a studio situation that slide vibrato may cause some audible scratch noise.

That may sound cool with dobro, but somehow I didn't like that too much with pedal steel.

But it's a lot of money to spend without trying out one first isn't it? I wonder if he has a basic one in stock that you could try and, if you like it, if he'd be able to customise it in time for y ...

C'mon with those analogies, guys, please!

I thought Carter Starter isn't made anymore - and indeed I already have one. (And mine was really inexpensive, 300 euros brand new since I got it from realisation sale.)

I think I can find that F# there somehow even if I don't have a dedicated string for it. I may have to press a pedal, use a lever or move the bar - and probably there are licks that could use such a s ...

This is another example of something that cannot be done on a 6-string steel. You guys who think you can get it all on a 6 stringer are wrong. You canâ€™t. And youâ€™re missing something the ...

If you're going to go for minimalism, why as many as six strings?

Diddley bow has already been mentioned... so we have defined the absolute minimum and unreasonable maximum in the thread. I'm go ...

There's not fret markers in violin or cello either - not even in double bass - and they do alrite. I think I cover my fret board with a blanket just for the heck of it... Evil Twisted

To be clear, I'm not considering a 6 stringer as a stepping stone up to 10 stringer. I'm considering it as a stepping down stone from 10 stringer. I think I could have a better use of a 6 stringer in ...

Isn't that Monoprice amp essentially a late Epiphone jr. with a tone control?

A 'suspended' chord has NO 3rd tone, so it never establishes itself as 'maj.' or 'min.', thus it is 'suspended'.. or maybe I don't understand the question. Smile

It's pretty unmusical to add major th ...

This may sound provocative, but I think I might consider taking a six stringer to a gig for a couple of songs. (I'm mainly a guitarist in my band.)

I haven't done that with a 10 stringer, because o ...

Sus2 is a sus4 a 4th down: that is to say that the Csus4 is Fsus4. Same chord, different name and use.

You mean Fsus2.

Good ideas, thank you all!
