    Re: Peghead Nation Video Courses

    I don't think you have to memorize the exact way the tune is played. In my opinion, tab, notation and learning by ear are guidelines how to approach a tune. There are a couple tunes that you can find...

    Re: Peghead Nation Video Courses

    If you look, you will find that tab is offered for pretty much each video. I'm currently in Mike Compton's course. When you log onto the lesson, below the video is a description of the lesson. Just...

    Re: Speakers/Monitors (no mando content)

    Well, the main purpose of the speakers would be as stage monitors for the band. With regard to me plugging my bass in, that would be during a jam, out in a field somewhere. I really like QSC, but...

    Ruhland At Carters

    Has anybody played the Ruhland F at Carters? What do you think? I've messaged Carters a couple times, but they have not responded to my inquiries. They do respond to requests for information, right?

    Anybody use this IEM? I run sound for my bluegrass group. We use a QSC Touchmix 8. All mics are plugged in, but I use a wireless for my bass. I've looked at all sorts of reviews, with mixed results....

    Re: Top Current Makers

    I'd put Gail Hesters mandolins up there with other great builders. Biggest mistake I ever made was selling the F she made for me. Fit and finish are excellent. Dry woody tone. It is extremely rare...

    Thinking Of Altering Mando

    I have a Gibson Fern. I was thinking of having the Florida scooped and changing the neck to a "speed neck". Will doing that affect the value of the mando?

    Re: Shipping

    No matter who you ship with, make sure it's packed properly and insured. I sent a guitar with FedEx. They damaged it and would not honor the claim. I fought with them for a year. Emails back and...

    Re: Live Mic for Mandolin Recommendations

    I'm another fan of AT Pro 37. They are relatively inexpensive. You can find used ones for less on Craigslist, Reverb, etc.

    To be honest, I'm typically the guy who runs the PA system. I think this job frequently falls on bass players for some reason. Many times we are playing smaller venues and don't use monitors. But I'm...

    Re: What PA gear brands do you favor?

    I really like QSC. But if I was in the market for a less expensive mixer, I'd go with a Mackie ProFx mixer. They are pretty sturdy. Alto speakers are good for the money.

    Interesting that the term "tab addicted" was mentioned. It could be said the same for those who read notation. I've encountered several musicians who were trained in classical music that read...

    Re: Gibson Tailpiece

    From what I can tell, the screws on the James are thicker and longer. Did you use the Gibson screws or did you have to use a drill to widen the holes for the James?
