    Re: Pedal Board Show & Tell

    Here's my current set-up. I'll probably remove the Klon as it boosts the Pre-amp too much and doesn't give it a very natural boost through the PA.

    Re: Electric Mandolin Build Help?

    If you're going electric, I'd vote for a 4 sting tenor/octave mandolin. With no more than a 23" scale length and no less than 21.5"

    As for woods... Alder is a very common wood to use for...

    Re: Norman Blake Tunes

    Thanks Jim, you are correct I did win that year playing Bright Days. I've always liked how that tune uses the full spectrum of low end as well as the high end. Which makes it a perfect tune for...
  14. Re: Should I learn to make bridges while I'm at it?

    I do a mix of making my own. I buy the studs, thumb wheels and the top saddle and make the base. Especially since I prefer a full contact base and that way I can also make it exactly the right height...

    Re: Norman Blake Tunes

    I was recording a couple of tunes for a customer so they could hear their mandolin in the white before I put finish on it, so I figured I could kill two birds with one stone and record a couple of...
  16. Re: Good mandolin choice for woman with small hands

    A few years ago I designed and made a mandolin for a woman in Ashville, North Carolina who has small hands. I designed the mandolin with a shorter scale length of 13-3/32” vs. the standard 13-7/8"...
  17. Re: Norman Blake-Original Underground Music from the Mysterious S

    The F5 had an initial price of $200, and then was raised to $250 in 1923.
  21. Re: Martin Krajicek and "unusually octave" mandolin.

    At 0:23 and 2:11 in the video, they do a close-up of the mandolin and you can see the strings. The G and D have high octave strings like a 12 string guitar.

    Too bad that mandolin Chris is playing can't stay in tune.

    Re: Anyone use an octave pedal?

  25. Re: 4-string emando, what’s the best out there?

    I have one of the new Fender Mandocasters with the pickup replaced with an Almuse pickup and it's great.

    Honestly, when I want to play electric I tend to play a 4 string octave/tenor guitar....
