I enjoyed that = thanks for sharing! Gonna give it a try.

I tried several 15s in my Twin Reverb. I liked the JBL D130 but found the top end a little too much. The Weber Neomag 15 sounded very good but at only 75 watts it would crap out when things got loud. ...

Chris is a fine bass player and I'm sure it pays the rent and groceries, but I can't help thinking what a waste of his consummate steel talent! If I were Marty I would feature him on steel on at least ...

That's a nice looking stand Joe! Can you give more info?

My Rickenbacher DC16 is comfortable on my lap, but it is heavy. When in a low chair, it sits out far enough for the nearest neck to be acce ...

My Rick D12 is admittedly awkward on the lap but manageable. The inside neck is a bit of a challenge and alters your technique. Still, it's a nice grab and go option for casual situations. I find that ...

C6 high to low ECAGEC contains a root major triad on strings 1 2 4 and the relative minor (Am) on 1 2 3.

Bill, the more often you jump in the ocean, the more likely you’re going to be eaten by a shark. (One of my old man’s little gems of wisdom.)

Good one Donny! Laughing

Ha! The original guitsteel!

Tim, is your new tone control like a stutter button? …basically a spring-loaded kill switch?

It's like a stutter button but instead of cutting the signal completely, it routes the highs to ground ...

Nice clip, Tim. I enjoyed that. That boo-wah effect at the beginning of your solo... are you using a volume & tone pedal for that? I noticed that you didn't use the tone control for that.

Thank ...

The Fender 1000 is admittedly a specialized instrument and not the best choice for the modern E9 style, which I never cared to learn. My thing is C6/A6 western swing with some Mooney and Isaac isms on ...

I use a baritone uke hard shell case for mine. A screwdriver to remove the accessory compartment and the neck support and Bob's Your Uncle! I put a pad on top because the case is too deep… the only ...

Are you changing the volume or tone pot? The volume should be audio taper, the tone is probably linear like the one Donny linked to.

It's the volume pot. You're right - I do need an audio taper for ...

This one appears to have the specs you’re looking for:

Thanks Donnie! I'll give it a try.

I'm having a hard time sourcing volume pot for my Fender vol/tone pedals. The original is a 250k ohm linear pot with a long shaft. I tried the Dunlop 500k but it messed up the boo-wah effect. The low ...

Humidity won't affect a Bakelite guitar at all. But keep it out of the sun. My panda detuned itself by a full step at an outdoor show last summer.

I have read in several forums that a baritone ukulele case fits the Rick shapes very well, however just a little modification is required.

That is one very elegant looking instrument. Hope it sounds as good as it looks. Congrats!

I am fortunate to own some beautiful Rickenbacker lap steels and Fender consoles which sadly my abilities don't do justice. I am more than satisfied with them and won't be acquiring any more steel gui ...

Doesn't the Dunlop have an indent?

I tried the Weber Neomag 15 in my Twin Reverb. I was very impressed with the tone. I thought it was warmer and less shrill than a JBLD130, but at 75 watts it would crap out when things got loud. Event ...

Do you know when and why the name changed from Richenbacher to Rickenbacker?

The change occurred around 1950. I believe they wanted a more Americanized spelling after WWII.

I like to emulate a Farfisa with pedal steel in my surf band. I tried the C9 pedal and found it sounded too processed and artificial. I've been using this cheap Sonicake Dimensions pedal and found it ...

Bump for this very cool amp. I have a Marsh tweed Vibrolux that I absolutely love. Mike makes top shelf stuff. Was very close to buying this one but it's a little more amp than I need. I had an origin ...

I asked Behringer and they confirmed it can be used for guitar/amp in a live setting. Yes, it's half the price or less of other spring reverbs like Surfybear. Sounds good in the demo. This is going on ...
