  1. Re: Multi-instrumentalists--do you use a different pick for mando

    Dunlop Jazz III on electric guitar, always. Acoustic guitar it could be a Dunlop Ultex 1.14 mm or a Dunlop Tortex .60 mm, Dunlop USA Nylon .38 mm, national Finger picks & thumb pick or bare fingers,...
  2. Re: Letter from America..... No not the Proclaimers

    In case anyone was wondering, I contacted 'Strings By Mail' who resent the order, arrived this morning and took less than a week, guess the others got lost. Liking my new V-Pick Tremelo's (not my...
  3. Re: Letter from America..... No not the Proclaimers

    Blimey, I'd hate to see what the non priority mail's like :disbelief:, guess I'll have to settle in for another months wait before I start worrying then.

    Re: blue chip picks

    If VAT & tax are the problem, you could order from here The New Acoustic Gallery, I believe stuff ordered in the EU is tax free (I may be wrong) and they should arrive quite soon, not tried the store...
  5. Re: Letter from America..... No not the Proclaimers

    Cheers, I've emailed the seller but I'll keep my fingers crossed for the next week, hopefully they'll turn up :) at least there is some hope still, that's all I wanted.
  6. Re: Letter from America..... No not the Proclaimers

    No tracing facility, would have cost $41 to have it traceable, bit steep for 6 picks I think :whistling:

    Re: blue chip picks

    Ah, seems I should have read a few more threads before I posted earlier. How long in general has it taken you guys to get your stuff from the US? I ordered some picks over a month ago and they've...
  8. Letter from America..... No not the Proclaimers

    Hi all,

    Just wondering if any of you UK based Mandolin folk have ever ordered picks or things from the US? I ordered a few V-Picks & Pro-plec picks to try out from Strings By Mail over a month...

    Re: Slide Mandolin?

    Steve James plays slide Mandolin - there are some lessons on his "Learn to play blues Mandolin" DVD's covering open tunings and apparently he plays slide Mandolin on his album 'Short Blue Stories',...

    Re: Help!

    I wouldn't go with the Epiphone, he'll outgrow it very quickly, spend a few extra quid and get something better. Being an epiphone player myself and having played for just shy of 3 months I'm...

    Re: best book for learning mando

    I've just finished "Bert Casey's Mandolin Primer", which was excellent, next step "Roland White's approach to Bluegrass Mandolin" which came highly recommended from various sources and seem to be...
  12. Re: I fought The Loar..... and it's winning

    It's not that I don't want to buy from them, just that if I do I can't try it out first and I'll have to spend ages setting it up properly (or worse still be without it for ages and spend a load of...

    Re: How to set up a mandolin

    Rob sent me a copy the other day, read through it this morning. Looks very good, and also looks like I should be able to lower my action quite a bit. I love his DIY nut saws as well, what a great...
  14. Re: I fought The Loar..... and it's winning

    I did contact Forsyth Bros. and they can only get the LM-500-VS from the importers which they said, and I quote "is a pretty average sounding instrument", so unless they can get the 600 from the...
  15. Re: I fought The Loar..... and it's winning

    Thanks for looking but that works out more expensive than buying a brand new one from Kieran, and that's before intercontinental shipping, customs duty and V.A.T. :)
  16. Re: I fought The Loar..... and it's winning

    Thank you all for your comments. I must say this is probably the friendliest and most helpful forum I've ever been on. From PM's and comments, the LM-520-VS does sound to be a good viable option...
  17. I fought The Loar..... and it's winning

    Howdy all,

    No end of Noob questions about The Loar mandolins on here, so have another one. Does any one know of any stockists in the UK? I'm about ready for an upgrade (from my Epiphone MM30s,...
