Wow. Never would've thought Tennessee had more yearly rainfall than Wales. My info was from the locals in N.Wales. Completely different climate than the south from what I was told. Anyway, on my...

Exactly.

Did a seven week self-guided cycling tour of Ireland, N. Ireland and Wales a few years ago. Had a basic, cheap mandolin gig bag that opened from the bottom so I could just slide my mandolin out and...

When purchasing my present A the previous owner had a 'mandolin' specific strap button placed on the heal. Used a standard guitar button and a narrow/shallow attachment screw. I use some no-name...

This combination may or may not have been mentioned yet.

The sweetest, cleanest, sonically pleasant sound I've ever heard form a mandolin I've actually held in my hands and heard from across a...

There was a mandolin player I saw in Killarney, Irleand at a pub playing in a band called Spailphin or something to that effect. Anyway, he played alot of slide mandolin. It was very effective. ...

Let's see. Christopher Guest from SNL, This Is Spinal Tap, etc. plays mandolin. Very well, too. Someone told me Daivd of Biblical renown played a mandolin. But, I think the guy's a lyre. Thank...

Oops!! THIS is the post I meant to address. :redface: All the above applies to THIS post. Duh!! :mandosmiley:

Ok, let's break this one down. These mandolins' MSRP is 875.00. Stock. New. W/a 20% discount brings it to 700.00 give or take a dollar. That's a pretty standard rate from music stores and online...

Bunk. Did ya even watch the videos? At a given point one has to be able to deliver the steak as well as the sizzle. Your turn. Non sequitur boy.

With respect for all the Billy and Miley deriders:

+1 The C1000 is an excellent all round condensor. I've used it for a baker's dozen instruments and they cover ALOT of ground. May want to consider a C3000 for the bass as it's got a much larger...

While I play an A my preference is an F. My F got the top caved in when I stupidly left it laying on the couch, tripped on a throw rug and landed on it. It is fixable as my luthier/tech friend told...

If you can find a late 70s MIJ Aria, Alavrez, Washburn F reasonably close to your budget they were extremely well made insruments. I had an Aria and stupidly sold it at a time when they weren't all...

Great! Please be so kind as to PM me when you've posted it on youtube. I'm working on a mandolin arrangement, but it's slow going as the song is in Bb...not my best key!! lol

Mine was called an Encore, but basically the same instrument, just a different stamp. While it was all laminated it had a single coil pick-up. Was playing in an Irish/Celtic pub band and switched...

With much respect to your being primarily a classical player I tought you might try your hand at this. I'm sure you could come up with a really nice arrangement: ...

Years ago I did a seven week self-guided bicycle tour of the motherland. Visited all five areas. I'm Welsh, but didn't want to limit my holiday to just there. Decided to purchase a mandolin as my...

Same here. Just the nature of the beasts that are passive transducers. Even though one doesn't need a pre-amp volume-wise they can be a little shrill left alone. The DI I use is a passive old...

Get one of these. At about 1/2 the price and there is no comparison in frequecy range. Don't get me wrong the K&Ks are nice, but have 2 elements...

Well, Almeriastrings the Mackie board of which I spoke happens to be from the early 90s. So, we've no disagreement there. And Behringers, historically compared with similarly priced systems have...

Yep, that's the way I would do it until I got the PW NS Minis. The only difference is I would ask the GP for a Gm, Dm, Am, or Em as flatting the 3d allowed me to focus my ear(s) in on the tonic...

The problem is NOT your level of expertise. The problem is your selection of a mixing board. Get a Mackie of any size w/a 1202 being the smallest and all the hiss', pops and other extraneous noise...
