Electro Dobro

[loosenup]

Hi to everyone
Only recently joined the forum, but I have enjoyed reading all the posts. I have only recently started to learn to play slide dobro ( bout 4 months now) and was wonderingif anyone could reccomend a reasonbly priced electro dobro with a bridge pickup built in and possibly 3 band graphic eq ... similar to the fishman style used on electro acoustics.
I have a Vintage elctro resonator at present and get a great sound out of it .. it has a neck pickup.. but the sound is not true dobro. it sounds more like a steel with a slight twang but not the raunchy dobro sound that the resonator does produce..
Any help on where to get and model ( i got around 300 quid to spend .. er maybe a little more)
Thanks in Ant

Basically, no, not in that price bracket. When you consider that the wholesale price is about half the retail (including shipping from the opposite side of the world) and on an electro you're paying for the pickup and controls on top of the base cost of the guitar I don't believe you're going to get anything satisfactory for that kind of money.

If you like the sound of the Vintage then I think the best and cheapest option would be to get someone to fit a good quality bridge pickup to your existing guitar (or doing it yourself) and fitting a buffer/blend in the controls either onboard or outboard depending on what kind of pickup you buy.

sorry it is such a long link but this takes you straight to the product.
I am tempted to buy this as i only play occasionally and do not want to spend more than i have to ( lack of time unfortunately) but i do not want to buy junk either!!!! ;D
Thanks
