    Nick Smith, Ludo Guitars

    I haven't posted on here for a few years... Long-term depression got in the way, coupled with a Covid related heart attack 18 months ago... just the usual stuff that happens in life... no sympathy...

    Re: 17" Scale, has anyone heard of one?

    I'm really pleased with it; Colin is a lovely guy and he builds some great mando family instruments. The only 5 string I own is my Stewmac electric with the A string-bender... didn't get on with 5 on...

    Re: 17" Scale, has anyone heard of one?

    I had this 4 string single course 'dola made by Colin Kendall a couple of years ago. It's a bit like a short scale tenor guitar, tuned CGDA with an 18" scale length. It also has a Headway pickup...

    U Rajesh video

    Some lovely Indian flavoured funk...ish electric mandolin, from the brother of U Srinivas. It starts from about the 16 minute mark on this show. Can't imagine many electric mandolinists have played...

    Re: electric mandolin with octave pedal

    As are the Pitchfork and Slammi. Bill Ruppert demonstrates their polyphonic pitch shifting capabilities particularly well, and as I said, I use them both to tune my electric mandola down a 4th to...

    Re: electric mandolin with octave pedal

    Yes, i've tried many combinations of octave/pitchshifting over the years, both with my electric mandolins and mandolas. Some worked well for single note bass lines, but not many work well if you want...

    @Travis. Thanks, I do regularly check out the ProGuitarshop demos, they are always interesting ;-) I've also looked at the Hardwire Supernatural and the TE-2 but I figure I've got most of those...

    Re: Ambient Guitar Tips...

    Thanks for that; Silent Comedy is one of the few I've not yet heard. The video below; Live at the Jazz Fest Sarajevo 2013, is a good example of Eivind's work. As far as albums go Dream Logic is a...

    Re: Ambient Guitar Tips...

    I love Bill Frisell's stuff too. I love that slight wavering vibrato sound he gets; I think he bends the neck to get that particular sound, though he might used pedals for it as well. I've always...

    Re: Ambient Guitar Tips...

    i've been a fan of Andy Othling's ambient looping stuff for a couple of years or so, and what a huge sound he manages to get. I've also been exploring this style of playing on my electric 'dola. I...

    I was going to post this last week, before I heard the sad news about the death of U Srinivas. Anyway this does look like a promising album, and for me it was nice to get an (all too brief)...

    Re: Fretless Electric Mandola

    i think I'd probably need lined fret markers on an electric fretless 'dola, or mandolin. ;)

    I've seen a couple of videos with Guthrie Govan on fretless; the duet with Michael Casswell is a good...

    Fretless Electric Mandola

    I've wanted a fretless electric mandola ever since I started listening to the Turkish fretless guitar master Erkan Ogur. Looks like someone beat me to it. No actual video footage but some pics of...
  19. Re: Eastwood Warren Ellis tenor with whammy bar?

    How do you find the tremelo bar? I'd be a little concerned that it would be too easy to push the strings out of tune when fretting because the bridge is floating? I'm trying to coach myself to have a...
  20. Re: Eastwood Warren Ellis tenor with whammy bar?

    Yes it does look like a 6 string bridge ...width wise anyway. Hope it does get a production run with a 4 string bridge. Who made your jazz tenor? I'd be interested in seeing a pic of it.

    Ah I see...
  21. Eastwood Warren Ellis tenor with whammy bar?

    I've just looked at a post on the Facebook 'Tenor Guitar And Baritone Ukulele Players' group. There is a nice pic of a group of Eastwood tenor guitars, including one with a whammy bar. Had to ask the...

    Re: Electro-Harmonix Slammi Pedal

    Purchased a Slammi a while back and I'm very pleased with it. I'm using it for fixed interval pitch shifting most of the time; it's great for downshifting my electric Mandola by a fourth to octave...

    Re: Best mandola recordings?

    Always loved Lorraine Duisit's work on mandola; she used to play a couple of Gibson's - an H2 and an H4... She was featured in the Spring Issue, March 1984 of MWN, along with tab of a really nice...
