Smiley, I'll take two if they come equipped with the Mike Perlowin Sphincter Volume Control in the LARGE SIZE.
Since I sprung the cash for a new Millennium, and my wife found out about it, only the LARGE SIZE will give me any relief from the terrible problem I'm having.
I also want to bid on the contract for the cases. Keeping things cheap, it will come equipped with two long handles and only one wheel. Looks a hell of a lot like a wheel barrow.

I am glad I ship away the MSA D10 Classic a few days ago. This must be the one I will have. Did it comes with the new tuning DC7????

Whats the availabilty,,,& is there a minimum
order required or can I buy a dozen?
What quantity discount is available?
I need to know before I place an order.These
may very well be the next generation of hi technology.
Terms?? COD? CWO? or open account?
Send me two legs for a starter,I'll see what
the response is and call you.Empty your mailbox,,,this may be the break you have been waiting for. You need an "endorser"?
Your call is important to me. |

Well Smiley...even if this is in a serious part of the forum....I suspect there may be a bit of a leg pull involved...even though I dont get it.
This seems to be very like my first steel guitar....couldnt afford a real one....so I measured a friends who lent me a six string one for a couple of days.....another friend who was an antique restorer gave me a wonderful piece of timber which I lovingly shaped and sanded then sprayed bright metallic green from a spray can.
I made it eight string....with two regular guitar pick-ups offset to catch all strings ....I bought pickups and tuning keys in a pawn shop....the rest of the hardware was off machines that I worked on....a plumber at the fire protection place my wife worked at welded nuts at an angle and threaded water pipe to make the legs.
The fretboard was clear perspex with paper under neath with all the notes written on it.......it sort of worked untill I could get a secondhand pedal steel !...I gave it to my mate but I dont think he has seen the joke yet !

Smiley,
I sent a check out to you via certified mail. I can't wait for my new Dominoe!
Is there a way I can also get a supply of the rust you use on your strings from your other axes?

Gene, give him time, he's got the wrong shorts and shirt on. I think he's just spoofin' us. It's probably a battery powered megaphone that squeaks.

Thanks Jim...
I have reviewed the ad for the amp and it looks like cutting-edge technology, just the thing for an "advanced" player like me!
The only problem that I see with the amp is the weight. I've been around for awhile (even played twice for the famous pie-supper events at Lake-Creek), and my old back isn't what it used to be....
Do you have any plans in the works for a lighter weight model with a smaller cabinet and a 2" speaker? |

Smiley:
Does it come in a 7-string model? If not, how 'bout a one-string with seven pedals?
I heard there is already a counterfeit out there called a ShoBum.  |

Ric,(& all)
BEWARE of cheap imitations,e.g.(Sho~Bum,Sho~Bad, Emmonds,Deeckley,Drabby,Carver,JCI,Frinklyn, etc,etc. The list goes on & on.
BTW,anybody that can't find the window for the "SmiRob Turbo Amp" now,needs to get their eyes checked. It's got "flashing lights" above & below it.
(how far can we go with this nonsense??)

I'm the next in line for an Anapeg after a three and a half year wait ... what have I been wasting my time for? ... why didn,t you leak some information on your product before I paid the deposit?
