Does anyone have a pedal steel they'd rent out on Aug 3rd in the San Fran area ? I have a show in Napa valley but will not be able to fly with my steel guitar. Or does anyone know of any dealers / stores in the area that would rent one out? All i'd need if a very simply student model. even a Maverick would be perfect. Please let me know! thanks
Jordan

b0b actually lives almost an hour-and-half drive north of San Francisco (20-25 minutes north of me), but I will recommend Larry Cragg in San Rafael. Larry was Neil Young's guitar tech and sound guru for many years, also working with the late great Ben Keith, and he operates a musical instrument/amp rental business, about 15 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge (when it isn't rush hour).
Larry is also a steel player and is currently in a band called "Buck Nickels & Loose Change," along with playing at times in Pegi Young's band (Neil's wife).
Here's Larry's website:

If Larry doesn't have a pedal steel available for rent I'm sure he'd be able to point you in the right direction. I think he's had at least one pedal steel for rent in the past, but it might be the Emmons he uses for his gigs which have become pretty regular as of late, a friend of mine is the bass player in the band.

If Larry's website is up to date, it lists 3 pedal steels. An Emmons S10, A Sho~Bud Super Pro and a Sho~Bud Pro 2

Yea Tall Toad doesn't really rent and the Emmons is a consignment instrument so they obviously can't rent that...
The other is a Maverick, and trust me, you dont want to play that....
I might be able to rent you something... not something I really "do" but always nice to help out a forumite...(plus I'm a full time musicians so any revenue stream at all helps!) send me a PM or email and make me an offer.
I live in Sonoma which is very close to Napa... I have a Zum 4X5.... relatively standard copedant... Emmons setup... |
