now that would be an awesome Xmas gift!
Bachanthilea (Combo of Bach/Bacchanal/Thile), thought I had it in the bag....
I live a long way away in a very mandolin barren area. Went to MB w/ a flatpicking buddy and had the time of our lives. After playing for a while, Stan started bringing out stuff out of the back and...
Well, that's certainly generous (and easy to enter). I'm in
Well, as an international dweller, even further away than Canada, I just have one thing to say/request: digital download, please!
definitely something for Peter Mix to clear up, but judging by the buffing on the sides near the top joint, it looks to me like a previous owner thought he'd experiment, chop off the cf original top...
I live outside the US and bought a Phoenix Deluxe w/out ever having played Phoenix, and I couldn't be happier...
Spend a day or two playing everything on the walls at a shop like Mandolin Brothers. If you can't tell the difference than this whole thread is moot...
That said, of course there's no direct...
RIP. A world treasure.
Another proud owner (#438). He'd definitely figured it out by then. Big fan of Rolfe (beyond the vibrating wood thingy I own) also in terms of how easy it is/was to deal w/.
I'm late to this thread, and happy RIP Django day to all. The above reminds me of the very fun Woody Allen movie w/ Sean Penn as a 1940s jazz guitarist repeatedly trying to pick up chicks with the...
Yes, I kinda covet one... plenty MAS but no $
it's pretty much all been said already and lots of different points of view on this. I much prefer playing my Phoenix to any other instrument I own. And I use it in most jam and gig situations....
good luck to Phil as this moves forward. He'd mentioned this possibility several months ago.
and Journeybear, loved yr list, but my favorite club of that genre, remains The Red Rail... NY drivers...
I resemble these remarks
absolutely stunning!
Cocobolo is a seriously dense and hard wood, am curious to how that affects tone/sound...
have settled on a Blue Chip TPR60 for the mando, shifted some of the old Wegen 1.5s over to the acoustic guitar and like that just fine. Fender (can be Dunlop or Tortex) shaped med-heavy for electric...
add me to the "big difference" group
or better said "subtle, but big difference...
and also to the (economically) reluctant Blue Chip fan club
after a couple test tries
I've settled on their...
A Breedlove KF my first decent (i.e. very good) mando, and a great value. Still my dependable backup when the Phoenix needs TLC or when playing conditions seem scary...
p.s. there are excellent transcriptions of his versions of Big Mon and Salt Creek on Mandozine website, so you too can play it just like Andy...
list me as a big fan!
whoever mentioned The Kentucky Colonels earlier hit the nail on the head. From what I've gathered, Jerry saw them a fair amount, and it's hard to imagine a more impressive influence at the time than...
I'm pretty sure there's a compilation album or two out there like "Pickin' On Reggae" or something like that. Aside from that, if yr looking for rasta/grass fusion, as has been mentioned, there...
dang, you got 9+ months out of the TIs? I tried them, and like the tone/sound, although missed the volume. I could barely squeeze 2-3 months out of them. Was wearing through the windings at most...
