Did a little spring cleaning and finally got all my steels together in one place, so I figured I'd take a pic. Not much of a "collection" compared to some I've seen on here, but I like 'em. 
On wall, left to right: Blue Star Lapmaster 8 string, home made 10 string, Rogue Jersey Lightning, Morrell MLS-6, Melobar LS
On floor: 1991 Remington Steelmaster double 8, my little Fender amp, Sierra 8 string

| I'd say that is a sweet collection and certainly covers a wide variety. I'd be proud to have them. |

Didn't you have a Canopus at one time?
Nice collection, what's the Blue star like? I keep wanting to get down to Elderly and try one out.

Sold the Canopus here on the forum back in February to fund the purchase of the Remington Double.
The Blue Star is OK, nothing stellar. It was my first 8 stringer. Got it on ebay (pretty cheap) as an inexpensive way to see if I'd like playing 8 strings. The pickup looks like a bass pickup, and it's got a deeper, mellower tone with less bite and twang than the Morrell or Melobar.

I'd forgotten about this video clip. I was going through my Youtube videos today and came across it.

You have more than twice as many as I do. I used to really enjoy having a lot of them around. Variety is the spice of life.

Nice little collection of steels.
Which Fender amp is that? Tube or SS? Pros or cons on the amp?
Which is your favorite or go-to steel of the lot? |

The amp is a Champion 110 solid state. I "inherited" it when my uncle passed away in May of 2011. It sounds OK for what it is. I used it in a small church this past Sunday and it sounded good.
My "Go To" steels for practice would be the Melobar 6 string (C6 or C6/A7) and the Blue Star 8 string (A6). For playing in public, it's the Sierra or Remington.
The two consoles stay boxed up most of the time now to save room. I don't really care for the "feel" of the Morrell, haven't quite gotten the hang of the 10-string, and on the RJL, I don't really like having a knob on the player side -- kind of gets in my way.
