This is the way
I have two Daley F5s. Consequently, Sim always did my mandolin set ups (I live 2-3/4 hours away). Well, you can imagine it’s long overdue for the both of them seeing as how Sim has been back in the...
Thanks for all the replies, guys. There are some good ideas. Still undecided but have some paths forward to look at. I'll be investigating armrests.
That’ sounds like an idea worth trying.
I don’t plant my pinkie. This is from my little finger “dragging’ on the top. I’d have to put guards on my other mandolins I’d think should I go with guards. The other mandolins I own show spots...
No, in fact, I have not. Dressed twice, but not refretted.
12+ years. So... Sam Bush mojo in 50 more?
I will never sell this mandolin. So should I address this worn finish or not? If so, what would you recommend?
Personally, I'm not worried about the appearance of honest mojo. (let's save the...
I owned an A-9 bought during 'the close-out' period from Guitar Center. I paid $799 new. Foolishly sold it after I got my first Daley. It was a fine mandolin, though I had worn a spot on the top...
Wish I could help but I’m biased. I own two Daley mandolins. A Sitka topped Standard and a red spruce topped Classic. They have the satin finish which is not as durable and hence have lots of play...
Yeah, I don’t plant. It drags across that area sort of as a reference point for where my hand is. Thing is, I even let the pinkie hit when I’m chopping. That’s probably the reason. Clear...
What are some good options to keep this from getting worse? I will consider those answers that range from refinishing the spot to less intrusive means such as guard materials.
What has worked for...
Excellent! I'll get on it!
and is it really all that?
I really need to study up on this. Where do you learn this stuff? I suppose I need a tutorial on different types of mics, p/u’s, monitoring set ups, hollow (acoustic) instruments and their effect...
Will going with IEM (in-ear monitors) eliminate this issue?
My K&K is taped in. Maybe that’s a problem? I retaped it prior to the gig and it appears solidly placed. I thought about gluing it in, but I installed this myself (ergo the carpenter jack). ...
Just noted this thread. Timely. I just gigged last night at a venue new to us. It is a great music venue but is obviously geared to instruments set up to go into a DI box or directly into their...
I have two sets of hearing aids. One set, ResoundAir, is over 10 years old and has the receiver in the body and a hollow tube transmitting the sound to the ear canal. It has one program set at the...
I don't think Sim has a son, least not one I know of. Sounds like something is not quite right there. Sim was known for his set ups and repairs as well as his mandolin making. Doubt seriously he'd...
I have two great Daley F5s. A classic red spruce topped and a standard sitka. I've looked at trading up but can't find anything to compete unless I go $10K plus. Always walk away happy with what...
No more free internet site posting killed Photobucket for me.
This.
Can't get them anymore, but I use my old Superior Case Co. Supercase more than my Calton or my Travelite. It's not QUITE as heavy as the Calton, but much more protective than the Travelite and has...
Funny. My band was playing a gig at a downtown coffee shop, The Tamp & Tap, for their bluegrass brunch when we looked up and the bass player spotted Sarah and said something. The two guys with her...
