Hello, Gary, what kind of amplifier do you play your Sho-Bud through with Dierks? I also want to know if your Sho-Bud is a Pro II or Professional? I love to hear the steel on "Lotta Leavin' Left To Do" by Dierks and I love the steel on Sara Evans' song "Suds In The Bucket". I saw you and Dierks in Greenville, SC last year and when you played the dobro parts in "What Was I Thinkin'", that was an awesome sound!

Well Brett I'm certainly not Gary Morse, but when he played here in Portland last year he played his beautiful Green '69 D10 Sho~Bud Professional 8x4 original basket style changers with white fretboards, some type of Lawrence humbuckers, and played it through two Nashville 400s set on each side of him pointing up at him. At the time he was trying out a Pod xt. I know he's busy a lot of the time, so I figured I'd at least bump it. EJL |

Eric, you are right about the rig I use live. I've been using Nashville 400's since 1989 when I was with Highway 101 and the two I'm using are the same ones I had on the road with them back then over 15 years ago. I realize I am just asking for it saying this but I've only had to repair each amp one time and they've been on tour all these years! They are in road cases but otherwise are original. I've been using a Line 6 Pod (version 2.0) on "amp mode" in front of them ever since Pete Anderson introduced me to them when we were on tour together with Dwight Yoakam. Brett, in the studio I always use Fender amps. On "Suds" and "Lotta Leavin'" I played through a Fender 1960 reissue Twin Reverb with the stock Emminence 12" speakers. Recently, I played on Sara's next single which I understand just shipped to radio and was co-written by Radney Foster. On that recording I used my new Fender Steel King. Between the reissue Twin and the Steel King I seem to be able to find the tone I'm looking for. Both are great on sessions. Al, are you same guitarist who worked with my brother and also co-wrote that big hit for Leroy Parnell called "What Kind Of Fool Do You Think I Am?" If so, hello and thanks for the kind words......... |

Yes, Gary--thats me. Good to hear from you! Now that I'm learning to play steel, I wish you were still around these parts. I could learn a lot from you. You always sound great on the records. I hope life is treating you well. Very interesting that you use the Fenders on the records. I'm gonna have to try that real soon. |

Gary, When you recorded the Dwight album "Tomorrow's Sound Today" did you use the Fender amps? The tone of your steel on that album is just awesome. I always dig your playing...keep up the great work! Cheers! ------------------ |

Mark, on most of Dwight's cd's I ended up going direct to Pro Tools using the Amp Farm plug-in. I would still prefer to use a real amp but Pete Anderson likes everything direct so I did the next best thing and chose a 1959 tweed Fender Bassman head from the list of amps in Amp Farm. In the end, it was surprisingly close to the sound I usually get with live amps in the studio. Again, thanks for the kind words......  |
