    Re: Best way to test preamp sounds at home?

    I concur with pops and Mark. You've got two different things you're talking about testing. Plugging a preamp into the Fishman is basically doubling down on the preamp(s), which will give you a very...

    Re: Pedal novice question re: preamp pedal

    I just checked out the Tonebone PZ-Pro, which has two separate channels/eq and is about half the price of the similar Grace Felix. This appears to be exactly what you (and I) are looking for in a...

    Re: Modding a Northfield F5S

    Congrats on the new mando! I absolutely love mine.

    +1 on the Gil (or James) tailpiece. Other than adding an internal K&K Twin pickup and an arm rest, the F5S is perfect as-is. I tried a...

    Another vote for OnSong. If your music in a text file, you can edit, transpose and a few other very nice things. Songlists are easy to construct, as is filing into "books."
