Although I've been using Blue Chips for years, (TAD 50, after gradually coming to prefer the pointed corners of my earlier 1Rs, and using Wegens before that), I grabbed the pick from my son's...

Hi, all. I know this has been discussed before, and I've read through the various threads--but I haven't come away from them with a definitive answer. So, I'm trying a new thread because I'll have to...
I'm having the same trouble, even running it through a pre-amp. (LL Biggs Gigpro). I'm thinking about trying one of the K & K floating bridge external pickups, Anyone use them?
Thanks, all. I'm afraid I don't know anything about the mix. The singer's brother-in-law does the sound and has plenty of nice equipment, but I've never asked any details about how's he's mixing...
I've had this occur several times now: playing in a band spread out across a stage and three monitors facing us, and what I'm hearing doesn't match the movements of the folks at the other end of the...

Looked like Peggy was playing a Harmony.
That, sir, is quite a story! Yes, Full House is the only line-up with Richard but without Sandy and Tyger.
By the way, here's an even younger Richard shredding "Reno, Nevada" (shredding begins at...
Check out Swarb and Pegg, in unison!

Bought Carmen Appice a beer in Daytona Beach back in the early 80s. He had a puffy mane of purple hair and tight red pants. Hard to imagine him looking like that when he recorded with Jeff Beck. Or...
I always love to hear Peter and Sam cover Marley, but what makes this version special is when Sam and Sharon Gilchrist get playful at about 4:40. Check it out!

Wow, that brought back a couple experiences that I had completely forgotten about! Long before I was into mandolin or bluegrass, I was a stage manager for a college arts center, and interacted (at...
JB, a friend of mine--a popular radio host in western North Carolina--sometimes gets paid to go on those cruises and emcee the shows. Isn't that the life!
Not bluegrass related, but I used to hang...
My apologies! No violation intended.
I'm not sure we disagree, but I'll admit to drawing the caricature of my NPR friends a bit too broadly. I'm also an NPR listener--my primary source of news since the early 80s, I guess, when I gave...
That echoes something Joseph Campbell once said: while some traditions seem to encourage us to divide people into categories of good and evil, others divide them into the enlightened and the...
That is perhaps the most frightening post I've ever read on here.

Pete was my hero--and not primarily for musical reasons, though I sure appreciated all he did to create an opening for music of the people, by the people, and for the people. I'll share the link to...
I thought it was an archaic form of "valley."
Yep. Merriam-Webster has its synonyms as "dale" or "valley." Comes from the Middle English, from Anglo-French val, from Latin valles, vallis.
Or, should you happen to live in Colorado or Washington....
Just kidding, mostly. I know some people who actually get more self-conscious on herbal relaxants--and those of us who don't probably...
Been checking back on this thread--not out of any interest in the original question, which was indeed answered immediately--but out of interest in the social dynamics. Having been the only longhair...
Well, this seems to be an answer that bothers you less than the truthful answer most people will give you. Simply because it's a step closer to the answer you hoped to hear (that the value might be...
That pretty much covers it. I can see why someone might think a famous signature would add value to an instrument, so that's an honest mistake on the OP's part. But it's a shame he mistook these...
I'm a big fan of the Byrds, but that line-up evolved pretty dramatically. Chris Hillman was the only original member with bluegrass experience, though Gene Clark and Michael Clarke later ended up...
