I am with you Mike. I tried a bunch of different pics, and yes, they seem to all have a different sound,feel,tone,edge, aurora. But in the end, I just found one that I like, and use it. I dont lose...
Hey, if the blue chips were good enough for Bill Monroe they are good enough for me! After all, isnt the quest for that one, single, solitary sound the holy grail?
;)
Sell it. Sounds like the new guy is hungry to play, and the world needs MORE pickers!
The plus is.......LESS "stuff" that ownes you.
Excellent! Both the playing AND the sound! I had a 520 and loved it! Thank you for sharing. :)
My experience is somewhat unique here. My Lady had a custom guitar built for me in 1985 with the vision that this would be "it" for life. And it was. Until health dictated I have 4 surgeries and the...
Play what YOU like, the way YOU like it, and put your soul in it. It will sound JUST fine!
Oh yeah, use what YOU have to do it! Dont fall into the trap of ..."If I ONLY had _____ I could make...
Having played a large group of $10K+ mandolins, I would not say "X" mandolin is FAR superiour to your The Loar without listening to it yourself. I fully realize you said you can not travel to hold...
Yours had FIVE????????
WOW. 2 at the most here.
Having been a finger style guitarist for 40 years, when health forced me to change to just mandolin, finger style followed me. I do a lot of it without even thinking of it. And I transposed a lot of...
I played a 520 for over a year and loved it! Would STILL be playing it but fate dropped a Bulldog into my lap.
While I agree that a "good" instrument is required to really produce a great sound...(No, Jimi would NOT have sounded the same on a $100 guitar and a 10w solid state amp)...in the end this "only a...
That is one thing about the Mandolin that intrigues me....the versatility. I have been exploring solo arrangements and even finger picking arrangements. I will have to try clawhammer!
In 2007, I had open heart surgery. (skip to the next section if you have heard this story, it bores even me!). They cracked open my chest cavity, and in the process, they crushed 3 neck vertebra, and...
Beautiful Mandolin! If something happened to my Bulldog, I would take the insurance money and look at a new Breedlove!
I converted to the med triangle after receiving 3 in the mail to try. But I was using fender med guitar picks, so no heroic change for me. :) I REALLY do love the picks though!
Heal fast! But watch the saw bones! ;)
I have always loved Guilds! Yes, some of them would be on par with Martin, just a bit different sound. Some are very "thick" with finish, some are as hard to play as most Gibsons! But SOME....are...
I would personally LOVE to see some different builds. I am pretty tired of the tried and true F5 in brown sunburst! I "fell" into my Bulldog, but if I had been searching with money in hand, I would...
Here is my post from the Vpick give away thread, but I fear it got lost there...so forgive me if this is a double post.
OK....time for a report.
I got 3 V picks in the mail today, and after...
OK....time for a report. :)
I got 3 V picks in the mail today, and after playing hooky with work for too long...I have had an opportunity to enjoy all 3 and compare to my usual pick like...
Beautiful stuff! I am partial to blonds!
AMEN!!!! You are right....Title Town's very own legend!
I am SO excited to try them!! Full report will follow! :) Thank you!
Sweet history! I am currently playing my wife's grandfathers fiddle, she has similar photos and treasures that fiddle! (and here all along, I thought it was MY playing that woo'ed her!)
