    Re: The amazing Jaco Pastorius

    Watched this last week and agree - nicely done doc on a fascinating, visionary musician. Be sure and watch through the end credits, for some great playing.
  2. Re: Where can I get a hard case for a lefthanded f style mandolin

    The Hiscox case might work, hopefully someone will chime in.

    Re: Lap Steel Guitar - No Mando content

    I have an old Oahu student model that I think sounds and plays well. They are inexpensive if you can find one, and are readily re-sellable. Lap steel is deceptively difficult, at least if you want to...

    Re: Scale length for Octave Mandolin

    I have a 19" Manne electric and a 23.5" Weber Sage I. For electric, the short scale is very cool, though the G above the 7th fret requires a keen ear to play it close to in tune. Even disregarding...

    Re: Looking for Music Documentary Recommendations

    I've seen many of the excellent suggestions above. I'll add 'Rising Low', gotta represent the low end!

    Re: Looking For A Decent A Style w/Oval

    In that price range, I'd seriously consider the Morris listed in the classifieds.

    Edit: D'oh, already mentioned in earlier posts!
  8. Re: A quick and inexpensive way to try the tenor guitar

    Good deal indeed, with bag and (Hamer reminiscent) strap included. 21.4" scale should be pretty versatile.
  9. Re: Eastman El Rey vs acoustic mandolin with pickup

    If you plan to use effect pedals, the magnetic pickup may play better with them. Those El Reys seem pretty sweet to me, though I'm happy with my Mann (which has both magnetic and piezo).

    Re: Octave bridge slot repair

    Buy this guy's 25" bouzouki! I bought a Mann off him a couple years ago and have been tempted by this listing for a while. He's a member of MC as well. Nfi, just a great price.

    Re: Fender Tenor Tele - First Impressions

    Nice job, thanks! Sounds great and they really got the look right. Bummer about the ninth fret marker, but otherwise that thing is pretty sweet.

    Re: DIY Speed Neck? Advice Needed

    I'd start slow and just sand down the gloss to see how that feels. No guarantee that the full speed neck will work better for you when you sweat. And you'd likely lose some stability, though perhaps...
  16. Re: New bridge for Octave Mandolin? (low action, buzzing, spacing

    I'd go Brekke, personally. My old Gallatin has his original design and my Sage flattop octave has one of his fixed bridges. They are, quite frankly, perfect in use and true works of art. The man...
  17. Re: man I need a good tuner foot pedal model. not clip on

    If I was looking for a floor tuner, I'd go with a Sonic Research model. Their readout is super fast, accurate and intuitive. I've had the original bench model for many years.

    Re: Mandolin Stand Recommendations

    The Ultimate GS100 was a great stand. I also modified one for mandolin and it's been perfect. But the last GS100 I bought a few months ago, is a total piece of cr@p! They loosened their tolerances...

    Re: Where should the fret dots be?

    I much prefer a mark at the 10th versus the 9th when tuned in fifths.

    Re: So, thinking about an octave oval hole

    If you haven't already tried playing a longer scale octave, don't necessarily dismiss the option. The longer strings (my Weber is 23.5) ring very nicely. Either way you'll be stretching.
  23. Re: Weber Gallatin F weight & action vs. other entry-level mandol

    I have an older Gallatin F that I bought used here, maybe 5 or 6 years ago. I still love it and don't really covet another (well, MAS is always knocking I suppose). Mine plays and sounds great - it's...

  25. Re: Information about Weber, Flatiron and Gibson Instruments

    Hi Bruce. Just want to say that my '01 maple Gallatin F remains an absolutely wonderful instrument. Never fails to make me smile - thanks for that!
