My $.02......

I had a Fender BG-29 that was OK, but not great. #As somebody else mentioned, alot of fret noise. #I sold that and bought a Michael Kelly fretless 4 string. #Added a set of tape...

Not sure if it's too late but, I love my Gator case. Similar to the MF Durafoam butm when comparing my Gator to my friends MF, seems the Gator is a little more well made.

Either way, for...

Tha's one of the things that caught my eye....it's kind of an oddball look!!!! Not better or worse, just different!

I had it strung with D'add J62's when I had it setup. When I cahange strings,...

Yeah....red. I kind of like it...it shines real purdy!!!!!

I've got a Washburn M4 (see my avatar) that I purchased from e-bay. #After a pro setup, it's a great starter mando. #It's destined to be my boat for the summer, along with a guitar, so I don't have...

Calton......not!

I've had very good luck with Gator products of late. #My first experience with them came last spring when I bought a dreadnought gig bag for my boat guitar.

Hey all!

I'd like to know if anybody has an opinion on the Washburn M1SDL line of oval hole mandolins? #I'm currently playing a Washburn M4K mando that I bought off e-Bay a couple of months ago....

They're still young yet.....I think we'll see and hear alot more from them.

Agreed.....they should pickup a bass player to add some bottom and drive to their faster songs....still very good...

I recently picked up a Gator durafoam case for my mando.....good protection, lightweight and places to put stuff.....wouldn't trust it in the cargo hold of an airplane but, for road trips, it's...

I went with the Washburn M4K kit from Ebay (the one in my avatar) and I have to say......after getting a pro setup for $55, it's a very nice mandolin for a beginner for less than $200. #It plays and...

Recently bought this Washburn M4K from Ebay for $120. #I don't usually go for the "kit" packages but, for the price I figured I couldn't go wrong. #I also own 3 Washburn acoustic guitars that I...

I couldn't agree more with what gnelson said about the setup. #Being a newbie when I got mine, I thought, as an experiment, I'd try to do my own setup. #I spent an entire frustrating evening trying...

Well, I picked up my mando from being setup on Friday and it plays and sounds really nice. #At least to my untrained ear.

The best piece of advice I got was to have a Pro setup done on it. #My...

Thanks for the reply. #I'm kind of anxious to get it back and start playing it. #I just purchased SMP Beginning Mandolin from Guitar Center and hopefully it will help me get started fairly quickly.

Hey everybody!

I may be the "newest beginner" here, at least as of now! #I just bought a Washburn M4 mando and haven't even picked it up to play it yet. #It's currently in the shop getting a pro...

Hi! #Been lurking for a few days and decided to jump in and say "hello".

I've been playing bass for 40+ years and guitar for the last 7 or so and now, I'm interested in the mandolin.
