I'm not talking about me. I;m talking about Steel Guitar Amplifiers. I play a Peavey Nashville 1000 and its weight is 57 lb.its killing me ,draging it from gig to gig. My last amp. was a Vega . Now Fender has a new steel amp.Wow ,great,but its weight is 66 lbs. Buddy E says it has a great sound,but Buddy I,m just a little guy and getting olded (and you are older than me at least by a year). Do you know of a diet pill for the amp. or a body building pill I could take.  , I do like Fenders.Joe |

| Joe, do you have removable casters on the bottom of your amp? I have them on all of mine and I have wheels on my steel guitar case. I roll everything around. Except for stairs it nearly eliminates weight issues. If you need a set let me know. The company that makes them is here in Buffalo and I can get them for you. They only take twenty minutes to install on the bottom of the amp. I could not carry my equipment without them as I use heavy equipment. If you need help installing them take a ride up here and I'll install them for you. |

| Joe, I put my twin in a head cab, and I have two Marrs cabs with my 15"'s. Sure cuts down the weight nice! I think Lloyd Green's rig is like this, too. |

Joe, Evans SE200 with DeltaLite speaker weighs 34 lbs. Sounds great especially with the Sarno Black Box....IP

| Joe. It's a little off the topic of your question, but I was wondering about the country gigging in your area, like Jamestown, Lakewood, Busti, Falconer and such. Are there more gigs avaliable now than say, 30 years ago? |
