I've got one for $400.00, if you'd be willing to meet me at the Flying J on I-95 just above Walterboro SC - that's about dead middle of you and me.[/img]

Oh cool Greg.n Thanks. Never heard of Gene O'Neil

Does anyone know who this is? Sounds like Hughey or Green to me.

I guess I must have arthritic ankles, so anything other than tapered heel boots will not aloww me to operate the vol pedal from full to close.

Dang Paul! Hahaha!I wouldn't have bet you in a thousand years that anyone could've found steel guitar and bagpipes in the same clip in rebuttal to my post haha!Or that it would actually sound good!

A well tuned steel guitar works well with other modern instruments. Bagpipes do not.

You got me there Bob - good call. Very interesting about their tuning though.

You might want to look into ChordPulse. There is a free demo, but it';s not very expensive if you decide you like it, and it's very easy to use. I have found that with a lot of other aps, I could spen ...

Has ticket prices been announced?

Jim, I just looked and it looks like $8 per ticket.

Not much more advertisement about it though.

This was a good one for me. I actually learned from the buddy Charleton version on the Texas Troubador's album - it's a little less flowery.

That's what it was he told me too Fredd, now tat you mention it. And, upon seeing how much the Twin head weighs on it's own, I can see he was absolutely right.

I think there must be a lot of players out there who favour a pickup with "character" that gives a certain sound; but I like the idea of a device that has no character and just leaves me alo ...

I'm fairly sure that achieving an individual and unique style is possible without being out-of-tune.

You are absolutely right Roger. However I'm not sure he was trying to achieve his unique voice o ...

Thanks for the reply Paul. You keep bringing me back to the one thing I'm finding it easy to forget: Keep is slow, and build.

I have found that once having been very very proficient (and fast) on t ...

Rick made our spkr cabs slightly wider than the head. I talked to him about hardware that would lock the head to the spkr, but can't remember why we decided against it. I think he said it wasn't very ...

The amp cab is still heavy but certainly not like the full combo amp was. I especially like being able to put the head right by me and have the speaker cab tilted back and sitting behind me.

Ditto ...

Ha! In my pursuit of music, I have spent time living in a car, atop an old roadhouse, and more often than not, on girls couches. I had to give it up for something a little more stable haha!

It's all voodoo to me (coils, no coils, mid coil taps, wires, x-rays from space etc). But it is my pup of choice in my Legend - nothing sounds better, although the XP-10 Telonics comes close, and to b ...
