I was reading the thread and missing Ivan…he was so very thoughtful and kind.

I agree with jefflester, I think there is some basic setup issues to address, like speaker positioning, use of wedge monitors, …
I can’t tell from your description if you know what you are doing...

I used to have an ART pro MPA 2, it had a high voltage option, and if I remember, it had lots of available gain and tube distortion. It had two tubes, and was pretty easy to swap out.
I’ve also...

You can drive a minivan through the scroll gap on that
Kentucky.

Fancy mustache?:grin:

My advice is as follows
I doubt you’ll get a break from bass…unless there are other bass pickers hiding in the weeds, if that’s the case, “forget” to bring the bass one week out of three.
As for...

I think that’s pronounced “still tuning”:grin:

“That’s one of my original instrumentals, called Bert and the Calf.”

Please help me identify the lick at 5:01-5:30
Tasty bluegrass song for sure!
Link goes to correct time, but I can’t get the embedded video to pop to the correct time at startup…?
Enjoy, it’s a...

My Weber is varnished, 15ys old, with toneguard and arm rest. No pick guard. It looks almost as good as new, and still smells fantastic.
The method Weber was using for varnish in the mid 2000 is...

No picks are too good for anyone. Except for that mystical VanHalen pick. In my thoroughly addicted rationale, the $40 is pretty minimal when compared to most of life’s expenses plus the return on...

I currently have a BC TAD40, a TAD 45 and a TAD3r 40. Sometimes, at gigs with my band, I grab from the pick pile without noticing that I grabbed the 3r, and I proceed to try to shred… sometimes I...

That’s too hard to say and spell:grin:

I think it’s important when creating a stereo image, that one side not have an intrinsically different tonal quality….you don’t want asymmetry in sound, you would perhaps then perceive the audio...

Chop, Shred & Split- Danny Knicely!
Must listen!

Yep, wow

Dan, so glad you’ve gotten another Ratliff! How does the new acquisition compare to the last one?
Happy pickin

Or consider mandola, octave, or 10 string options…

I have a few violin mutes and the all rely on seating on the bridge with a wedge angle and the taper of the violin bridge. I can’t envision a mute that will fit onto a square shouldered mandolin...

One of the mental challenges of live performance, especially soloing, is absorbing the bad notes. They stab your brain and cause you pain, making you want to stop. But you gotta keep going. Part...

It’s tough to navigate the pick through the radius for fast pickin, but it’s fun to do!:mandosmiley:

Solved that problem by only having two awesome mandolins.

Good luck:)

I bet it would sound great without all the slides, vibrato, and intonation(accuracy) issues.
I can pluck the fiddle, with a pick, at full speed, held at my chest. It’s in tune.
I’d love to take...

I didn’t see this until today, thanks for posting! We’ll done, bravo.
