I sure can't, because I don't use a Blue Chip. But I have been using the same pick for about the same length of time - a Jim Dunlop 1.5mm - and it shows nowhere near as much wear. Now, I'll grant I...
Works fine as a graphic display. :cool:
I have had some success - not 100%, but close - by doing the following. Go back to your file and open it with your photo program - Photos, Photo Viewer, or...
I also want to point out that the guitar-shaped one has a bridge and nut slotted for six strings, not eight, despite its eight-string tailpiece. Bridges are easily replaced; nuts not quite so. I'm...
Aha! I thought there was something memorable about this date. Just couldn't quite place it. Thank you! :mandosmiley:
Oh, OK. I listened for about a minute and had to stop. Found the overall sound really irritating. But yes, there's mandolin, albeit just as an accent, and not well played. But my taste doesn't...
My opinion? Doesn't qualify. Not a rock song, no mando. Find songs by them that rate - I'll include them.
Thanks. It cuts off a bit abruptly. I'm sure he was about to say, "It's a heckuva great way to kick off a video, too." And, "Mandolin can really sweeten the middle, also. In fact, anywhere you add...
I believe this is the third or fourth thread on the subject. I wonder whether this has reached the point where it's time to combine them so people don't miss something. :confused:
No kidding! :disbelief: But consider the alternative ... :whistling:
Thankfully, I have mandolins. :mandosmiley:
Well, I'm turning 70 soon. That's pretty old. The 50s weren't too bad a period for Gibsons, though most people prefer the teens and 20s. That said, I have pretty good tone and have worn fairly well...
Yeah, but ... This is this, and those are those. I'm not "making you choose" between anything. :confused: This is a pretty specific topic, project, even. There are plenty of threads for those and...
Thanks for that - I guess. I didn't see the time index in your post so I sludged through nearly three minutes of Wishbone Ash to hear mandolin. I'll never get that time back. :crying: Elton John has...
Not for nothing, but I don't see where you've shared your story. Come on now! Tell us about what inspired you so.
Looks nice. But only one picture? Words fail to convey how much I mistrust ads like that. Full disclosure, please.
If my eyes do not deceive me, I count four Heidens and one Gibson. :disbelief: I'm a little surprised. Now, I've heard and seen a lot of good things said about Heidens, but nowhere near anything like...
Actually, nope. Maybe that was their first instinct - relist - but someone nixed it; it's gone. Or re-relisted elsewhere. But that link is kaput.
So, Jo, do you think you could build a good-sounding one of these? You certainly have some remarkable skills and imaginative design capabilities. Or do you only make fretted instruments? :confused:
Is it purty? - Yep.
Does it sound purty? - I'll bet.
Does it sound "$50,000 worth" of purty? - Well ... :whistling:
Will it make somebody happy to own it and play it? - I'll bet.
Will...
And it's back in the Classifieds. Same price. Both places.
Yes, sir. Truth. I have played with some fine pickers who knew what they were doing with their instruments and how to play nice with others. I've also played with some others, and the less said about...
Well, it happened again - "Mandolin" appeared as a clue on Jeopardy! today. What sets this apart from most of its appearances on the show is the contestant guessed right! :disbelief: Maybe that's...
Really? They're pretty easy to wound - their skins are quite vulnerable - which most of the time is good enough. :whistling: But yeah, perhaps actually killing them ... They do seem to propagate all...
Thanks for the insights - learning stuff I never knew. So then, it's possible they could sell the same instrument again and again, and as long as it kept getting returned, they'd make some money on...
Been following this with some amusement, curiosity, and an ever-present willingness to learn. I think I've got it all, except one thing: the $18. You said that was for "shipping from San Bernardino...
This is perhaps more for performance than home use, and clearly, this won't work for all people in all situations, but it sure is the most cost-efficient method I've seen.
