BILL,
  I would be interested in the "Lesson a Week" series.  My personal 
preferences would be in the blues area at the intermediate/advanced level.
Regardless, I think I would be interested and have an open mind to any 
area you decide to discuss.

I think the official description for the "reds" is "HOT". In my opinion,
it sounds like one of the hot pickups for the Strst that Dimarzio makes.
Basically just a high-output single coil.

Hmmmmm...  I hate to rain on your parade, but I doubt if what you
have is a True Oldie (tm).

The original Dobro guitar was manufactured by the Dopiera (Dopera?)
Brothers.  (DOpiera-BROthers... cute, eh?)  To my knowledge, they
did not produce a metal bodied guitar, ala National.  Theirs had
wooden back, sides, and top, with the resonator therein.  They were
originally designed for playing rhythm guitar with an orchestra,
the resonator allowing them to hold their own with horns and
saxaphones and such.  They were never exactly popular...

Anyway, I won't go into the whole thing, but sometime in the 1970s
(?) someone started manufacturing under the Dobro name again.  (This
is real factual, huh?)  The bottom line is that your Dobro is probably
one of these later guitars.  I've seen metal bodied guitars with "Dobro"
on them, but they were all of relatively recent vintage.  The *old*
metal, resonator-type guitars were made by National and some other company 
who's name escapes me now.  It wasn't Dopiera Brothers.

All the old Dobros I've seen (and I've seen a few; my dad is a dobro player) 
have slotted heads with "plate" mounted tuners, not individual machines.
If these Grovers are good, high-quality machine heads, then they're either
1) indicative of a guitar from more recent times, or 2) not original equipment.

Vintage?  Mmmmm... early 1970s or later.
Value?    Whatever someone is willing to pay...

Advice:  Find out who's manufacturing the things these days and contact
them.  If anyone can tell you, they can.

Disclaimer:  I'm not an expert at anything, especially Dobro history.
I'm just the son of a player who's owned more than a few of them, and
who's vintage 1927 Dobro is still going strong.

Good Luck,

i've been toying with the idea of getting this little cassette play which you
can plug your guitar into and play along with. it sure would be handy for quick
review of new songs while the rest of the band is struggling to listen to the
tape from which they will try to learn their parts as they confuse things with
all their racket. trials and tribulations of learning a new song with 5 people
live.  i'd like to just walk off to the side and go through the damn song on my
own a few times in the privacy of headphones to figure it all out first.

so,.... ok , is this thing a piece of junk, or can it take some serious
stop/rewind cycles.

It appears from the discussion going on that we have several possible
teachers, and lots of interested students.

I suggested the following idea to Bill Quin, but I think it warrants
more general/global discussion so here goes.

How about a mailing_list/ftp_archive where teachers provide submissions to a
coordinator (I'll volunteer) who can archive the lessons and mail/post
them on a regular basis. I prefer mailing lists as they are much more
reliable than news, but there is probably no reason we can't have both.

This hopefully would provide a reasonably organised distribution of
lessons leaving volunteer teachers to simply provide submissions when
they have the time.

So how about it?

	- Kevin

I have had pretty good luck with using the European
tubes (tesla and sovtek, 12ax7 / 5881 respectively)..

I have gotten 6 months and running out of the Boogie
5881. and from my previous post, the jury's still out
on the 12AX7s except I've been using the Teslas in my
Marshalls with great success.. I use the Siemens EL34
and I have been running these for over a year now and they
still sound good (but it is time for a change soon, also
I play for long periods of time with high volume levels..
NOT without those earplugs tho........)

Don't know if the load impedance has MUCH to do with
the sound as much as those teeny little paper cones
in the "Jensens" in the B-man... But I'm not a physicist
so I only know that it sounds damn fine to the old ears...

Actually 'nother tidbit: I picked up one of the Fender
Nitro-Urethane-Polyester-Kevlar bulletproof amp covers
for the B-man, and I think it does the job pretty well.
Of course it's not too inexpensive (~$35) but it keeps tha
t nice tweed cover from looking all torn-up and
dirty....   But that might be the look that you're after!! ;-)

	I am posting some results of my previous post regarding
Marshall/Bassman input jumpering... I just got my Bassman back
from the shop, (reasons to follow) and I performed "extensive"
tests on this issue of the reissue having a gain reduction on
the number 1 and 2 inputs on the Bright/Normal channels. There is
indeed a gain difference that can be demonstrated by chaining a second
amp.. see below...

   __   _____________________   __   ____________________________ to guitar

  Fender                     Marshall

 ^ This one is
  optional

When I chained Fender first, then Marshall, I noticed an significant
gain reduction and a lot more white noise (or pink, or chartruese or
what ever color you like.. :-) ) How many db, I don't know and basically
don't care, but it was noticably less to the ear.. My end result was to
drop the jumper on the last amp (Fender) as I wasn't crazy about the
tone... Yes the jumper works, but it also seems to work without a jumper
as well, albeit a lot more subtle than with a hard jumper... Well anyway
enough rambling, Thanks to everyone who commented.....

	One more little antecdote... After I bought the Bassman reissue
I was starting to notice degradation of the amp's performance, and
so I proceeded to change tubes, rattle wires, tighten nuts and beat on
it with a hammer, but it was slipping away before my eyes. The symptoms
were as follows: an annoying feedback "loop", which seemed to be a mechanical
linking of loose connections and/or microphonics in the signal path. This
occured when the amp was cranked above 10... Now this is ok, but it started
to degrade to below 8, below 6, etc... So I relented and took it in to
the Magic Amp Doctor (Keith, at the Amp Lab in Redwood City, CA) and
he found defective parts (bad corroded and ungrounded jacks) and hand
selected some Tesla 12AX7s... This made all the de(a)mons disappear
and the best part is that Fender is going to pay for it... I wanted to
send this out in case anybody else was experiencing the same symptoms...
Thanks to all of you who I talked off-line with regardimng this problem..

My local music store (Music Land in Lindenhurst, NY) is selling the 
Les Paul Studio for $529 new, with case, last time I checked. A few months 
ago they had a sale & the Studio model was selling for $489. I think that gold 
pickups were standard on several models, but if not, I doubt that they added
significantly to the cost. My "b.o." on the above piece would be in the 
neighborhood of $350. It isn't that hard to find a used Standard for less 
than the asking price for this "Studio"...

I could use help/advice from Strat experts out there.  I am getting ready
to buy a Strat for home/studio use (not stage performance), and for
playing along with MIDI/sequencer setup.  I favor the maple keyboard,
alder body, and probably Lace sensor pickups (my study has fluorescent
lights on aquarium, and dimmer switch on overhead lights, so I am
concerned about noise).  I'm also fond of the Wilkinson nut and heads.

Sounds like I need an American Strat Plus, yes?

My question has to do with the tremolo system on this guitar, as I am not
very familiar with it.  I anticipate only gentle use of the tremolo (not
hitting the "whammy" big-time).  Is the tremolo on American Strat Plus a
good one?  What is a hipshot tremsetter?  Should I be looking instead for
a Floyd Rose system (and if so, is there an American Strat with Floyd Rose
tremolo and either Lace Sensor pickups or humbucker?).
