Looking for oldtime, folk, bluegrassy, acoustic players for fun and/or profit.

I'm mostly a guitarist/vocalist but play a little mandolin and also dabble with resonator and banjo.

P.M. here...

I love the patina of the worn gold look on my J-45.

I prefer everything to look aged.

It matches me better....

I can tell the difference, sometimes I just can't decide which one I prefer.

When I drank beer, I swapped brands from time to time as well.

Actually, I've been married a few times......

I really like the BG100. I rotate it with a Bluechip TD40 and can never decide which one I like the best.

I also have some rounded Wegen 1.0's but forget the model name/#. M100 maybe?

Very cool, and wishing the best of luck.

I wonder if anyone will search me out 100+ years from now.

I think my Dad was right.

You get what you pay for.

Chris tried to steal my Gibson once, so I'm not buying his pick. : )

I prefer a clean acoustic sound with no effects. My many decades of playing electric guitar with Marshall/Mesa stacks has tired me of delays, compression and trickery.

Give me a mic and clean...

Wait.

You swapped off a mandolin, but kept a ukulele.....

I could use a few more...

I think the Primetones are a really good pick and a great first attempt by Dunlop to enter the "custom" pick market. They play and sound very close to a Bluechip IMO.

I'm surprised they haven't...

I don't think Elixir builds strings. The buy them from (X) and they coat them. If (X) is having supply or labor problems they probably will cut discounted sub-contract sales before cutting their own...

Wait....

:))

Most of us will experiment with different picks for our entire life.

At least, I know I do...

I don't know, but those are some great old videos. I ended up watching for quite a while.

Thanks.

What about 30% vinegar? I saw a youtube video that used it?

You guys are using regular 5%?

Me too!

Creeping me out just reading the words......

I don't know if your math is "perfect" but I absolutely agree with your premise. All a speed bevel does is make the pick thinner where it makes contact, making a thicker pick sound and feel "thinner".

I agree. I've never gone out of my way to preserve an instrument. I play the heck out of everything I own because it's MINE. It's not about the looks.

What?

There are no rules.

Except in Bluegrass.......

Indeed.

Here's to getting our old World back.

I only saw 1 of those, one time, and recognized Clarence right off the bat. I don't know how the dates line up with the "Live In L.A." album with Scotty Stoneman, but there's not a lot of video...

I'm a guitarist for many, many decades and a mandolin hack for the last 10/12 years.

To me the Bluechip/Wegen sound is less tinny and clicky than a thinner, cheaper sounding plastic and this is...
