    Re: FB SOL Incognito

    Probably sounds great, especially for the price. I would replace the bridge with a low one-piece full-contact ebony or rosewood bridge.

    Re: Old Gibson needs fixin'

    Yep, ended at $585 plus $38 shipping plus tax. Someone will have over $600 in this before the first repair is attempted.

    My logic is, "how much is a nice one?" Then, you subract the cost of the...

    Re: Regal Le Domino Mandolin C.1933

    No, mine was all black. Don't be fooled by "today's asking prices," in my opinion they are worth $200-250 max and only as a wall-hanger, at that. BUT, more power to prices fueled by internet fads...

  8. Re: Most tunes I post to YouTube are 65+ years old

    When I was young, people would ask what kind of music I played? I would say "contemporary music."

    Re: HOG SOL on SGW

    Agree with jb, failed or unfulfilled love inspires more of my songwriting than happiness -- because when you're happy, you're too busy having fun to write a song. :cool:

    I spent a little time in NYC in the late 70's. I remember the jazz clubs had a $10 cover PLUS a 2 drink minimum per person -- a nearly impossible sum for an unemployed 22 year old...

  18. Re: What are the chances that a moderately-priced mandolin sounds

    I think a more reasonable goal is to play a group of instruments in your price range and then pick the one you think sounds and FEELS best. Then you can say you got the best one for you, rather than...
