Like Pete, I use the bulk singles from JustStrings to make custom CBOM sets (for which sets cannot be found). I am completely satisfied with these strings. I also appreciate the absence of the...

OT: Nice MusicMan! Bass & mandolin players, unite! :)
I have the Hercules violin stand, and it it * almost * perfect. Very stable, folds small, and comes with a carry bag. However, I have found that the spacing for the locking hanger mechanism is...
I have found that the best way to polish a pick is to rub the edge repeatedly over eight or ten strings, usually grouped in pairs. :)
The "official" video was an interesting art piece as a whole, and I enjoyed it once, but to me it took too much away from the song.
But that live version -- WOW!!! That was a killer...
I can't help with your question about Savannah, but good luck on the trip! That's one heck of a road trip. I made that trip from Albany, New York many years ago and it's still a deep source of...
I'm glad this has come to an agreeable closure. Now that it's done, I'll come clean here. I've *always* been overwhelmed by the number of categories on the forum, so the way I view MC (nearly...
That's really nice, Robbie! Thanks for sharing it. I'll surely be sending this one around to my guitar friends.

I propose we just streamline the forum into 2 categories:
1) Bluegrass
2) No part o' nothing

That was my path, too! I've got the tunes now, but I'm still waiting for the opportunity to see SHEL live.

PS: Since I am writing, check out the D-hole Weber Octar. That's a completely...
And they get a very respectable amount of play in my rotation, too! Thanks, Bruce! Some of my favorite arrangements are on your recordings.
Well, of course you should try the electric bass guitar! Plenty of us here started on bass of some sort. And it's a great instrument.
Now, if you're looking to take inspiration from bass in that...
For the project you describe, I'd also recommend you consider the mighty Weber Octar. Lots going on sonically with those.
This instrument is interesting, but I can't tell that it's been well thought-out. It seems more like a Frankencello to me. The description says "most specifications identical to the standard Warren...
Consider this a second recommendation for Peterson's iStrobosoft. That's a really fine iPhone tuner!
I've used Tempo as a metronome on the iPhone, but I did like it a lot more when it did a lot...
I own a high end Weber made and signed by Bruce Weber, and a high end Breedlove made and signed by Kim Breedlove. They are both fantastic instruments, from visual presentation, through fit & finish,...
I'm no luthier, but I suggest you address that fretboard before you get too hung up on precision nut/string height adjustment. It looks to me like you will have a bit of fret work to do on that...
Man, I wish I had your spare time! If I did, I'd probably activate the Gift Certificate code I bought 2 years ago.
That's a really nice design, Steve. The hits just keep on coming! I like it all, but I particularly love that headstock inlay. Just beautiful!
The DAWG picks are really different from all the other picks I have and use (I use a variety). They really are (to me) more "different" than any of the others. They are not my "go-to" picks, but I...
Yeah. That would be a great show to see. They ought to stream it via Concert Window for extra exposure/donations. I don't know if Concert Window is set up for benefit shows, but I'll bet it would...
Given the circumstances you describe, I'm pretty sure I would eat the $150 and order the same capo in the correct size for the instrument you'll be playing with her. You can start off by saying...
I also use the frets.com method, and recommend it. Also, since Gryphon is my local shop I am super careful whenever I change strings. I live in mortal terror of having to take my mandolin to Frank...
Wow. That's really beautiful.
Does anyone know how long the original run went, back in the day? This seems like a second flash in the pan. A year ago this forum was all lit up about the release, and now they're gone?
I'd be...
