Sam Bush - the Original Tennessee Stud!
“Like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher ‘standard of living’ is worth its cost in things natural, wild and free.” -- Aldo Leopold
I do not think the mandolin sounded all that great, but sounded much like the budget mandolins I own. Of course it's all a matter of what sort of tone you like, but the warm, rich, woody sound I listen for was missing. I don't think you'll catch Sam picking one of those mandolins on a gig.
Have to concur. Sounds better than a budget mandolin, but not worth the asking price - $3000. Sam's a master, but if that's as good as he can make it sound ... Not that they're available anyway, so it's a moot point. Just as well - that headstock does less than nothing for me. And the "scroll" ... there's a thread for that.
OK, that's all. My mama used to say, "If you can't say something nice, shut yer ####### piehole." So I'm shutting my piehole.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller

Finders Keepers, my duo with the astoundingly talented and versatile Patti Rothberg. Our EP is finally done, and available! PM me, while they last!
Yeah but you could use it out by the campfire overnight as the temperature changes & it will stay in tune! Or as a canoe paddle!
A recording made in a living room and evaluated on a handheld device is certainly not ideal. But he’s a great player on anything.
It’s a charity raffle, donate or not.

I have #24; plays great & sounds better in person than the on-line recording from Sam. And I'm not going canoeing with it in the near future!
