    Re: Feedback buster for Big Muddy

    There appears to be a seller on Etsy that makes custom-sized feedback reducers, including in 2 3/8”.

  2. Re: Jam Etiquette / Rules Question - Should songs be banned

    No, it should not be banned at open jams with any number of beginner players.

    It’s a great song with easy chords and everyone knows the lyrics.

    But beyond that, somebody called that song...
  3. Re: Drop-In Replacement tuners for an Eastman 315?

    That’s strange. I put the Grovers on my 2016 MD515 last year with no issues (https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/threads/162561-Grover-409-Tuner-Installation-Guide-for-Eastman-F-style-Mandolin), but...
  4. Re: Drop-In Replacement tuners for an Eastman 315?

    Just need to drill the two outside screw holes.

    Re: Looking for wireless solution...

    The Line 6 Relay system has an XLR out on the receiver base that could run to a PA board.

    Re: What did you ask Santa to bring you?

    An Eastman MDO305E-SB octave mandolin.

    The Mandolin Store has faster shipping than Santa, though, so it already came.
  8. Re: Huber Banjos and Cumberland Acoustics hit by tornadoes

    The pictures are scary stuff.

    I have a Cumberland bridge on my Eastman. Amazing product.

    I hope they can get back up and running soon.

    Re: The Honeymoon is OVER!!!

    Seems like a good reason to use some coated strings. They’ll let you go 2-3 times longer before you have to mess around with changing strings again.

    Re: NPD New Pick Day

    Don’t be afraid to try new shapes and thicknesses within the Primetones.

    I used a smooth 1.5mm 351 shape for a few years, then switched this year to using 1.4mm large triangles. I feel like it is...

    Re: Upgrade Fever

    I also second (or third) the Eastman 515 suggestion.

    All hand built, all solid woods, and great finishes.

    A-models are unquestionably a better value, but if the F-model is going to spark joy...
  14. Re: How do you like your armrests (aesthetically)

    210189

    I paired a “black custom maple” Dr. Arm armrest with my sunburst Eastman. I like that the shading is similar to the burst on the mandolin.
  15. Re: How do you like your armrests (aesthetically)

    A sure sign of a truly dedicated mandolinist is having an arm rest that matches the bridge that matches the fretboard that matches the strap that matches the belt that matches their shoes.

    Re: Advice For Mandolin Purchase

    I feel like a solid-body electric may be the best solution, if you truly don’t need acoustic tone.

    No feedback, better magnetic pickups, and you can run it through the electric guitar rig that you...

    Except they’ve actually recently expanded their acoustic production facility in Montana.

    Re: Visiting Quebec City

    Just got back from a week in Quebec City and Montréal.

    Quebec City is amazing. Great history, street scenery, and food. Get ready to walk some stairs up and down the cliffs, though.

    Re: What Preamp Do You Prefer

    I use a Radial AC Driver with my K&K pickup.

    It’s a fairly simple device. The Radial has no EQ options, but it has nice feedback filters, a high pass filter, and a mute switch (key with the K&K...

    I’ve been very happy with the Gretsch G9310 “New Yorker Supreme” as my camping/fireside/backup/beater instrument. All solid mahogany, so a mellower tone than your typical spruce/maple...
