    Re: Pickups For a 5 String

    Yeah, I know about the rails and purpose-made pickups for mandolins. I just wanted to float the idea and see what everybody thought. When I get around to it, I think I'll get one of those Moongazer...

    Re: 4 or 5 string jazz mando?

    Thanks, very much. I'd like to try to keep it closer to the mandola scale, so I'll probably need gauges at least as heavy as your archtop setup.

    How about the "Boone's Farmers"? In honor of Daniel Boone's history in the Cumberland Gap area (and in honor of cheap booze).

    Re: Not Johnny Cash - no mando content

    Johnny wasn't exactly known for playing an electric, either. I don't think I've even seen a picture of him with one.

    I don't have an electric mandolin (yet); but, when it came to guitar, I had fun with with everything from the thickest fuzz to tone so thin it sounded like it was coming out of a transistor radio....

    Man, that thing looks weird enough to wish I had the money to blow on buying and getting checked out and set up.
