Old enough that I don't remember if I posted on this previously? If I did, now I'm 70. In military terms, I'm short.

I'm turning 64 in July. Been playing bass since I was 15, but started steel about 40. When I told a musician friend I started playing steel, he asked me my age and said "you'll never make it". He may have been right. Hey, wait, did I tell you that already?
Franklin D10 8&5, Excel D10 8&5. Both amazing guitars and set up the same. Homemade buffer/overdrive&sag with B-M-T tone and adjustable scoop., Moyo pedal, GT-001 effects, 2x BAM200 for stereo or spare. Barefaced Mini-T, and BW1501 or TT-12 or PRV 10" in closed back wedges. Also NV400 etc. etc...
