I recently purchased a set of Seydel Session Steels. I can play them OK, but the taller coverplates are a bit awkward as compared to the SP20s and MBs I usually play. I had heard of some players swapping out the cover plates for lower profile ones (like 1847 or soloist pro coverplates). I am trying to determine whether to swap them out and if so, with what. Anybody have experience on this a far as what covers will fit and would be on par with the feel of an SP20? Also if I decide to swap them out what I should know as far as being able to take them apart and put them back together. continue reading...

Now for sale at The Starving Musician, Santa Clara (3939 Stevens Creek Blvd.) we have a great deal on this classic harp amp. Only $150!! It's got a lot of miles on it but what it lacks in looks it more than makes up for in tone. Reply here for details or call the store at (408) 554-9041. 

Hell, I don't have $1200 lying around but if anyone is looking for one I found this ad on craigslist. http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/msg/4244171993.html

I have been playing and performing with a Shure Green Bullet microphone. I know most people either love or hate this microphone. However it would be nice not to have worry about tripping over the cord or it getting damaged. While not on the buy list in the immediate future I am starting to investigate and review wireless bullet microphone set ups. I would eventually like to get one. I do want to maintain an old school dirty sound from the microphone. Anybody had experience with a wireless microphone or can recommend a wireless bullet microphone?

Thanks

Well it finally arrived, it's a great product. Just wish they had better customer service, that's all.

Great deal on a pristine Mission Chicago amp on eBay. Wish I had the money, I wouldn't think twice.

I am looking for a first microphone and amplifier. I am ready to play out at some blues jams, but I want to practice first at home with the amplified sound.

The Bottle o Blues seems like a good, affordable purchase. Jon Gindick endorses it and it sells with an amp for under $100. It seems to have a good sound and is small enough to be easily portable.

Can anyone tell me anything about the Bottle o Blues or point me in a better direction?
