I clip mine onto the tailpiece, when using it on my Rigel A+ Deluxe.

Great stuff! Another lamp maker!

I make lamps from all sorts of found objects. Musical instruments I’ve used include a guitar neck, a fiddle, a clarinet and a ukulele body.

For me, playing a tune fast is to find the ways that allow you to reduce your effort to just what is required to get there, and no more. As has been mentioned, it is possible to work too hard, and it...

I posted this thread a while back, on the way I like to put a carry strap on my mandolin cases. This way of carrying the case is way better for me than a backpack style strap.

I have played many gigs with my AT pro35 clipped to the tailpiece of my Rigel A+ Deluxe. I have also clipped it to the pick guard on my Gibson A-2z. This mic does a good job, as long as the room...

I bought a tenor guitar from Jamie at Clifftop, 2006, I think. I believe it was a prototype for his Tenor-tone line. What he told me, and his mom, too, was that this design was taken from her tenor...

The website says it has a Tele-style bridge, but the image of the back shows 4 holes. Do the strings feed into the bridge from the top, or do they pass through the body, Strat-style?

With my mandolin, I plug the receiver into the preamp, which connects to my amp with an xlr.

I’ve been very happy with my Fishman loudbox artist. Been using it for 10-15 years now

I’ve clipped an AT Pro-35 mic to the tailpiece on at least 2 different mandolins, and been very happy with the results over lots of gigs. These days, I usually use a pickup, but would have no problem...

This is the simplest solution I’ve found for keeping straps on endpin jacks.

I’ve been using these Dunlop strap retainers for 20+ years, and they work well. They use a cam system, are easy to get on or off, and have never let me down, through countless gigs and sessions.

Here’s one from that period. Doc Roberts and Asa Martin, “Take Those Lips Away.”

Sampler #1 is on its way to TX2AK.

My favorites, in no particular order are:
-an unmarked D’Andrea, with a tortoise pattern, 1.00 or 1.25, in small tin #3
-primetone triangle, unmarked and...

I received sampler #1 day before yesterday, when I returned home from a long weekend trip. Haven’t yet had time to get into the picks yet, as the past couple days have been devoted to prepping for...

Here’s another vote for the Redeye. I’ve been using it for more than a few years, with my Rigel A+ Deluxe (factory pickup), and with my Northfield Big Mon (jjb pickup). When I want reverb, I use a...

I have heard “LG” was short for “Little Guitar.”

I have a 3-4 year old Engleman Big Mon, and couldn’t be happier with it. It’s got it all, tone, volume, projection, great setup, etc.

As suggested, you’d be well served to go to Nashville for a...

Thanks to all for these good suggestions.

Tracy, I assume you couldn’t get a string gauge that would work for the high E. I have a tenor with a 21” scale, octave mando tuned, GDAE. The maker,...

I just received a Harmony mini strat today. Got it on shop goodwill for $20 + another $20 for shipping. I’m interested in converting it into a mandolin family instrument. Images, below.

It has a...

This one is my favorite case bumper sticker. It was given to me a long time ago by a friend who was in this band. I’ll definitely try these techniques if I ever have to part with the case.208275

I’m using JJB twin pickup(s) on my Big Mon. I run it through a redeye preamp into a Fishman loudbox artist amp, and am very pleased with the sound. I have the transducers glued on the inboard side...

Seconding what others have said, I regularly use the boost on my redeye. It sure helps me to be heard, while keeping my playing level in my comfort zone.

I installed a JJB twin pickup in my Big Mon. I did have to enlarge the hole in the James tailpiece, but it wasn’t difficult to do. I used a step drill (uni-bit) to enlarge the hole in the tail block...

Mike,

I’m also interested in the transcriptions, if they’re still available.

Thanks,

Bill
