Does Albert still use a B Bender these days?

Fill me in someone..How does it work? Raises the second string a whole tone? Eh?

it was designed so guitars can emulate pedal steel

Yep a full tone on the B string. Brad Paisley uses a G bender!

Albert mentions that he’s looking for a korg a-3. So is Spud. What with this thing?

Somebody's probably posted this before. I had "Repeat When Necessary" on 8-track.

Albert said at the clinic I went to that he tries to buy them up when he can, as they are long discontinued. I guess he likes em! Though he does sound great with just guitar and amp!

Here you go Rob. Bet he'd carve up one of yours for you.

[robelinda2]

Awesome! Peaceful Easy Feeling will never sound so correct!

 

[Colin]

Rob I'm surprised you haven't had one installed yourself...

 

[robelinda2]

I dont have any real interest, plus no-one in Melbourne really does them.

When I saw Albert at the Guitar clinic the other week he mentioned that he had 5 of them. Two had been given to him recently and they were available on e bay for about 200 - 250 bucks.

I was going to get a Keeley compressor but thought about getting one of these instead. There is one for sale in Canada at the mo and I'm trying to see if anybody lives locally.

The last time this happened I ended up getting my JP6 - thanks Fred

Rob - thanks for the link - I wanted to see that Everly Bros acoustic that was given to him.

Somebody on the forum has a bender fitted to his AL -
(Spud does a search)
... .. it's Passarelle who had one fitted.
