Update. Hooked up a direct box which solved the problem. Thanks again for all the input.

Thanks for all the input.

Thanks for the input. Found out that the pickup is a Fishman "full circle".

I'm not sure on the pickup, but I know it's a Fishman but it's not powered. She hasn't used an amp before - but wants to use this as an On-stage monitor plus it'll run a feed to the house system. The...

Hopefully this won't be too far from a mandolin-related question because I would assume the set up may be similar. I have a friend with an upright bass who has a Traynor 110 bass amp. There's very...

Thanks for all the great input. I do realize that i made an error in titling my string. It should have been "purchasing through the Cafe classifieds" as I know the transaction doesn't pass through...

I apologize if this information is provided somewhere on the Cafe - just can't find it.

Are all instrument sellers in the Cafe classifieds required to offer the 48-hour inspection period to...

UPDATE: Got the new Schallers in today from LMI. Model number SMN14R. They're a perfect fit. Same screw holes. New strings and I'm ready to pick. Thanks MikeEdgerton.

Thanks for all the dialog. I have a set coming from LMI, and will try to remember to post on here how it turns out.

Thank you for the reply.

Thank you for this link. It provides a description and a schematic. I just need to order the ones with the threads going in the opposite direction from what I have now and I should be good to go.

Schallers are the brand that was on there (on the bottom in the picture) which turn clockwise. Are you saying that Schaller has some that would turn opposite of that?

The new one is on the right or top depending on how the picture uploads.

Purchased some Grover 309 tuners to replace tuners on an Eastman. (The old ones tightened CW - I wanted CCW.) The knobs on the Grovers barely clear the wood, and after measuring I see that they are...

Would love to try these picks!

Thanks for the information that these are Gibson Sam Bush Monel strings.

Can you expand on the type and size of the "Monel" strings? Thanks.

Loar responded to an email I sent. So for anyone else who might be looking for this, the size is .075 in width and .049 in height.

Anyone know what size fret wire is used on Loar mandolins such as the LM-600-VS?

Thanks for all the information. I found out from Gibson that my Jam Master has wire as follows: .053 width, .037 height, .054 tang. Would the evo 37080, for example, really make a difference? Looks...

Are you still satisfied and pleased with the larger frets on the Jam Master? I have a Jam Master purchased in May 2012. I struggle at times in getting the proper location for noting and seemingly...

I know there are various sizes of frets even those designed for a certain instrument. But as a general rule, are guitar frets larger than banjo frets? And I know there are varying opinions on fret...

Thanks. They must have changed their numbering system again when the 2000 years began.

I need assistance with a serial number on a F9 I'm looking at buying. The number is 30820030. This does not seem to jive with the numbering system Gibson uses. The first and the fifth digits are...
