    Re: Live Mic for Mandolin Recommendations

    If Audio Sprocket's ever finds a new chip supply for their Tonedexter product that might be a solution using a piezo pickup. Maybe someone who purchased one before the supply dried up can comment?
  4. Re: Holding on to your personal Holy Grail mandolin

    29 years since I bought my '93 Flatiron Performer F, and the only mandolin I have MAS for is one of the Apitius J models. The Flatiron isn't the loudest instrument, probably due to the neck support...

  9. Re: Jethro & Steve Goodman "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"

    I was lucky enough to see Steve and Jethro performing together at 2 different editions of the Philly Folk Fest in the mid 70's. Those two were always joking, and both could play so well. Jesse's Jig...

    Re: New mixer

    +1 on Reaper (@ $60) vs Free Audacity. a little learning curve required, but very easy to set up for this task. Editing after recording is a little more difficult on any DAW.

    I've put almost as much into repair and upgrades: re-fretted...

    I use the TI stark (heavy guage) and have for over 10 years. When I'm in a band they get changed after about 1.5 yrs. I've gone over 2 years. Lately, I've been doing some recording and I tend to put...

    No, with one exception. My '71 Precision bass was named Humphrey when I was still in college (45 years ago), and old friends still ask after it by name. It was my first quality instrument. As I...

    Re: Ready to get my hillbilly on!

    There are always too many guitarists. I'm just OK on guitar, but I put in the time on bass and mandolin so I could play in more jams. I play banjo, too, but it's hard to make work across as many...
