Mandobird Video

http://youtu.be/lgk9j1JPmZIThrew this little ditty together with a spot of multitracking and a webcam.......wish I could find someone locally who could actually PLAY .......seen so many makers who are also ripping good players ;)

Too much fun! ITM on an electric. I'm diggin' it, and being inspired.

Very nice Pete!
Nice playing, and your pick-ups sound great!
Thanks for posting.

I agree. Both the player and the equipment do the job well. Foot tapping stuff!

Very nice. I like both.

I want a mandobird and a fender dec amp with loops! Love the sound and tune!

Sitting here looking at the rain, jumping up every time I hear a diesel, or see something red outside the window. Because, yes, that's MY 'Bird. (Ha!). I know it's been loaded on to the vehicle at Medway, because Pete sent me the tracking number. Pete has been formidable - he listened to what I wanted, (rhythm sounds and lead boost) wound and installed this pickup and the three way switch, and made it work. Check out the pearloid scratch plate too! Truly a Soundfarmer. Wait....is that a diesel.....? Nah. I'll post again when I've played it.

May the (Parcel)force be with you Bob!

Pete,
Where are you exactly?
I've just relocated from California to Cambridge.

Hi Daniel, I`m in Grantham........just over 60 miles away (30ish north of Peterborough).

P.S. Sorry about the weather :crying:

Thanks Pete! Sounds good! I take it this is a dual coil 'bird replacement p'up? I have your single coil item which was a huge improvement over the stock item. It's raining out here on the steppes of Eastern Washington, too.

Hi Mandobart....the pickup is a tapped single coil rather than a dual coil humbucker....glad you`re happy with your alternative pickup.
Cheers,Pete

Great demonstration of the different pickup sounds. I see an almuse in my near future.

Hi Pete,
very nice to see you personally this way... just showed my 9year old daughter "This is the man who built my Mandolin" and she said "wow, he's playing very good himself!"... so we both really did enjoy your playing and the pickup...
by the way... if Epiphone stops building Mandobirds - will you continue the series?
All the best,
Tom
