I really miss when Thile used to actually shred the heck out of the Mandolin. He was too good too young and now all he wants to do is make ethereal textures and soundscapes.

So sad. Rip. I feel like he just was posting very recently. I always thought the bulldog logo was cool.
Only a Gibson is good enough! Seriously, I have a Gildrush and it’s something special.

What a difference a talented luthier can make with your instrument. More on the way it plays/feels, but sound as well. Also, I'm really digging the GHS A270 strings these day compared to other...
I’m sad to see them change the name on account of mandolins and the color orange are two of my favorite things. I thought the name was brilliant and unique. Watch house as a band name is kind of ...

Poor Chick. He seemed so young and healthy for someone in his late 70's. I've been watching videos of him since he passed last week. Saw a good one last night of him hanging out in Spain and...
F Cancer.
I feel so bad for his wife & family knowing what they have gone through and will continue to go through. It's just the worst way to loose a loved one.
If I had your kind of $$$ to blow on a mandolin I’d go with a Gibson DMM. After all, only a Gibson is good enough.
I learned it from the Bill Monroe “live from mountain stage” album. It’s Em except for one chord in the B section which goes D EMaj D B7. Also played that way on the live video with Monroe and...
I enjoyed the song! Thanks for posting.
Guitar player in my band has a MK mandolin. For years it had terrible action and old strings. He let me take it home and change the strings and adjust the bridge and truss rod. I was amazed at how...
I would name it “Tomcat”
#3 sounds the best to me! Just a little darker and sweeter. #2 sounds a little buzzy. #1 and #2 are a little midrangey sounding.
I have owned a CK-40 for several years. It has a nice sound, but one of the capsules seems to be louder than the other on my unit. Adjusting the level slightly resolves the issue. Tried contacting...
What kind of pick was it using?
Who are you to question the chord voicings of Bill Monroe!! You are not a bluegrass musician!
Oh no, this is so saddening. I love my Phoenix mandolins. My ORANGE select made this time last year may have been one of the last. Hugs to Jenny, she was an absolute pleasure to work with on the...
Yep. Love the Primetones. Just like the blue Chips but a little darker. You tried ‘em?
Hawks are pretty nice but nothing for me beats a Primetone. Not even a blue chip.
Sierra and Molly are great, but Billy Strings is just a fantastic soloist. On another level.

The OP doesn’t give us a lot to go on, only that he seems to want to use the electric bass for bluegrass and that he already has an upright and a acoustic bass guitar. I’ll chime in and say that...
Since this thread came up I’ve ordered and tried the Tru Shells, Hawks and Red Bears. The hawks and the Red Bears are the prettiest picks I own, that’s for sure. I’ve drilled “grip holes” in all my...
