I put a CA bridge on my JB Dorado a couple years ago. I think it made a big difference. I have no problem recommending one.
I play in a duo. We have the Bose L1 model 2. We have 2 T1 tonematch units. One for each musician. (We both play multiple instruments) i would highly recommend them. Very easy to use with the...
Thanks for the info. I'll check them out. I am same as you and mandobassman I am not happy with the tuners on my JB Dorado. Might be time to pull the trigger on a new set. If your happy with the...
Data Nick, which Grover tuners did you go with? Got pics?
Bought it, love it. Highly recommend it.
My uncle played an Ovation in the 70's, and he was the one that got me interested in music. I've been playing a 1980 tobaco burst Balladeer special since 1990. Toured with it, jammed with it and...
#1 upgrade would be a New Cumberland Acoustic bridge. With a good professional set up.
I don't think there will be many that will disagree on this
The follow are things I have done to my JB as...
Planet waves instrument cord with circuit breaker. http://www.long-mcquade.com/files/1927/lg_pw-agra-.jpg The have a small push button switch on the end.
That might be some good advise. I had it in a couple of years ago and had a bone nut and a CA bridge added, but I forgot to talk to him about the tuners. Maybe next trip to the city I will take some...
First. Thanks for the suggestions. I am interested in the Rubner tuners. They look really good.
I wouldn't say they are worn out. I've just never been happy with them. They seem not to be very...
I am looking for some advise on new tuning pegs (machine heads) for my J. Bovier F5 Dorado. What brand would guys recommend? Gototh, Schaller? I am looking for good quality, not econo replacements.
LR Baggs Venue. Preamp, DI, Tuner, and boost peddle. Lot's of EQ adjustment. The best I've found so far.
Congrats Kev on your new JB. I've got 2. A F5 Dorado, and a A5 prototype. I've had the F5 for a couple of years. Love them both. If you want info on your mando. Contact the owner of J. Bovier. Jeff...
I have the same problem with pick noise. I have a K&K pick up. I bought a LR Baggs Venue to try and sweep that noise out. It helped but it's still there. The only thing I found that'll get rid of...
I had the same Ibanez a few years back. Same problem. I did find a hard shell case that fit it. I think it was a Yorkville? I did have to bring the Mando with me to confirm that it would work. The...
Being a Canadian we don't have GC's here. On a recent trip to Vegas I thought it would be a kick to check out a big American guitar store. Waste of a cab ride! The Walmart of guitar stores. No...
I actually like the weight. Makes it feel solid. I play a 1980 Ovation Custom Ballader on stage when I'm playing country music. The beast leaves a knot in my shoulder the size of a baseball at the...
I have both the neck and bridge pick ups coming from Alumuze for my Mandocaster. Anyone else installed these yet. If so what did you think of them?
No mandolin content on this post.
I am dropping my Martin HD28 off at Myhre's Music (Edmonton AB) to have a pick up install and some my tweeks. I am having them install a LR Baggs lyric into it....
My wife and I are headed to Las Vegas for a week in November. I am wonder if there are any Bluegrass Jams around the strip? Or within a short cab ride. I am also wonder is there any place to go and...
1, Garage Band (easy to use multitrack recorder)
2, On Song (keep all you music and tabs)
3, Beat Time (slow downer)
4, Pro Metronome
5, Tef View(plays tabs and midi from mandozine)
6, Tune In...
My J Bovier Custom Shop A5 "Jake White" has arrived. It came with no damage to the box, case, or mandolin. She's a very nice looking mando. The finish and feel of the mando are top notch. I think we...
Update on my new JB A5. It shipped from Jeff's on June 12th. It crossed the border and into customers on the 14th. It was released from customers and handed over to Canada Post in Vancouver for...
103342 I would suggest one like this. Not really an all terrain stool. The ground would have to be level. Very comfortable. $150 at Axe Music in Edmonton. I have a friend with one. He says it's the...
