    AT Pro35 attachment

    I know there's been discussion around this but wondering how those of you who use this clip on mic attach it? So far for me the best luck I've had is clipping the alligator clip to my arm rest just...

    Re: Looking for wireless solution...

    Yes, that's the set up I use for my guitar: Xvive 1/4"out (transmitter) to Tonedexter 1/4" input (receiver). Then I cable the TD to the PA board.

    But with the Meyers Feather on my mando, I need a...

    Looking for wireless solution...

    As I switch back and forth between acoustic guitar and mandolin during gigs, I hate doing the "instrument cable dance". I use a Meyers Feather clip on mic on my mandolin, which has a 1/4 out from...

    Approaches to Practice...

    Just curious how you all approach the structure of your practice sessions. Let's say you have one hour to practice, and you have different elements you like to work on such as scales, arpeggios,...
  6. Supporting each other's online presence...

    As a local gigging mando/guitar player, I've accepted the new world order of band/music marketing: whether you want 5 gigs a year or 500, you have to have an online presence - website, social media...

    Re: Clip-on mic vs Removable Pickup

    I use a Meyers Feather clip-on mic and love it. It doesn't require phantom power - in fact, there's an annoying hum/hiss if you try to use phantom power with it. It makes my Big Mon sound as...

    Arpeggios

    As a relatively new mandolinist, I see a lot written and discussed about arpeggios. In the mando world, what exactly is an arpeggio and can any of you point me to a few good examples of song...

    Curious if anyone has had a chance to play and compare one of the new F5Gs to prior year models? I'm surprised more vids of the new models haven't popped up on YT. I know there are a few (Acoustic...
  11. Re: Non-mando: how well does Spotify or Pandora pay off for artis

    Artists make famously very little on streams/plays. The business has been flipped upside down. Back in the day, the money was in album sales and bands toured (often at a loss) to promote album...

  14. Better and not as good years for Gibson F5Ls...

    I'm going to keep my eyes open on the used market for a Gibson F5L. In the modern era (let's say 1980 forward), are there specific years or stretches of years where these are considered to be more...

    I also practice and perform standing up as much as possible for two main reasons: 1) my lower back really stiffens up if I sit for very long, and B) I like having the ability to gently sway/rock as I...

    Anyone use this combo? Curious what you've found the best placement to be for the PU? And have you found there to be a difference between using the putty or the double-sided tape?

    Question for LR Baggs Radius users

    After you attach the PU using the putty, do you typically just leave the pick up on the mandolin all the time, or do you remove it when not plugged in?

    If you do remove it, do you need to use...

    I play mandolin in a trio (acoustic guitar, bass, mandolin) where the guitar plays finger style on maybe 70% of the tunes. I agree that cross-picking on the mando can muddy the waters but otherwise...
