7string Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) Geez, it's been such a busy week with setups I forgot to post. Shame on me. I haven't even had time to play with the new "thing" either! Been great fun reading through this though Jaco had to make an appearance at some stage! Next pic. There has been a correct answer already though... Edited May 21, 2010 by 7string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBeatNut Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Never seen the undersides of one before, but I think that must be a pedal steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomEndian Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Nah, Paul H was right. I'm pretty sure it's the underside of a suspense-generating machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must take a trip down to Gateshead tomorrow and buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7string Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) Yup, it's a pedal steel It's a basic "Little Buddy" model. 10 strings, 3 pedals and 1 knee lever which changes the pitch of different strings by different amounts. It's had a good clean and a fresh set of strings since I took those pics. Learning to play this is going to be a long and painful process. It was advertised in Gumtree down south and my parents went and got it for me. I sent them the money for the steel and a spot of lunch. The price for the steel was £35. Courier was £12. I put this on The Steel Guitar Forum and got a message asking if they could buy the tone bar which came with it as it matched his steel. After selling that, the steel has cost me just £15. Has to be the biggest musical bargain I've ever had. And Diva likes it as well. Edited May 23, 2010 by 7string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, 7string, how are you tuning your pedal steel? I've worked with a few pedal steelies in the past and always loved the twin neck tuning of C6 and E9 (great for Western Swing).

7string Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Just wanted to keep the excitement going I suppose..... [quote name='Stingray5' post='846199' date='May 24 2010, 02:51 AM']Hehe - I thank you! So, 7string, how are you tuning your pedal steel? I've worked with a few pedal steelies in the past and always loved the twin neck tuning of C6 and E9 (great for Western Swing).[/quote] It's E9 with the Emmons pedal setup. As you know, some guys have these enormous 2 neck things with 9 odd pedals and lots of knee levers. I'll stick with this for now. Things have been going well on the setup front so I haven't had much time with it at all. I need to sit down with this thing and try to get my head around it D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
