I've heard Buddy Emmons live, but I've never seen him live. I recently had the good fortune to see both Burke Carroll and Dave Easley live (with Luther Wright and The Wrongs and 3 Now 4 respectively) ...

Some really interesting responses. I find that it definitely helps to have a pool of possible choices if you don't have something already memorized. If for some reason that falls through onstage, I ...

Saw Burke Carroll with Luther Wright & The Wrongs (the band that did the honky tonk version of "The Wall") at The Thirsty Hippo in Hattiesburg, MS last night. His tone and his chops were incredible, ...

I got my National Grand Console for a great price and did a little fixing up. I haven't played anywhere near as many steels as other guys here have (actually just the National and an "el cheapo" 6-st ...

Went to my first steel show in Magee, MS yesterday. On the bill were greats such as Hal Rugg and John Hughey, but the ones that really made an impression on me were the two generations of steel playe ...

Jody,

I will try out the mute. It seems like a cool idea. As soon as I get the cables hooked up and get the pedals working properly, I'll report back...

Many thanks! YOU GUYS are the long-lost Fender 2000 manual! Jody, what book of yours are you referring to?

A photo from "down there" would be delightful, if it ain't too much trouble. I'm making the connections OK, but as soon as I get 3 or 4 of the pedals working correctly, the 5th causes some binding. ...

EUREKA!!!

I knew you guys knew the score!! I've been reading this forum for a couple of years now, and someone always seems to know the answer! Howard and Baz--you guys rock!!

Perhaps that's the key. Now that I look at them, the changers are kind of worn on top in the middle, and it looks like that could have been done by strings being stretched across them. So the string ...

I got an email from Carl saying that he's pretty sure the changers ARE the bridge, and that maybe someone installed a tall non-Fender pickup that might have had a cover doubling as a bridge. That mak ...

Bobby,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, this steel has 2 10-string necks, 10 pedals (2 added by previous owner?) and one knee lever. I've seen the 1000 manual--it just doesn't address what my problem se ...

I'm new to pedal steel, so forgive me...

I just got a Fender 2000 last week. It was shipped without strings on it, so I couldn't see how it was done to begin with.

The problem is, the strings that ...

Just got a Fender 2000 today. The string mutes are giving me a problem. I want to take them off, but then there seems to be nothing to keep the string from laying right on top of the pickup, as it's ...

I'm new to the group--I was given a slight variation of the C6 tuning by DJ of The Souvenirs. He told me to tune it this way, low to high: E G A C E G

I just started using this tuning in my country ...
