I'll take # 230. Haven't tried a V Pick yet. Thanks for the opportunity!
Had a similar thing happen when practicing w/my NS DESIGN electric bass (piezo PU). My "A" string would start to vibrate for no apparent reason. It was doing it when we were playing and when there...
Hey Tim,
Yeah, I think folks are viewing out of curiosity since we all seem to strive to make our mandos louder.
My solution worked out just fine. Thank you. If I were just going instrumental I...
Down Simba.
While you may look at a capo as serving a different purpose than your finger, understand that your index finger does indeed do the same thing. Both the capo and the index finger, in...
The rattling is somewhat "normal" for this product.
Slide open your battery door and slip in a little piece of business card between the battery and the battery door. Problem solved and nothing...
You betcha. Wouldn't miss it!
Headline act is Larry Gatlin this year but none of the daily schedules show when he's playing. Guess he'll perform on Sunday some time.
Hey CaskAle,
The mute is offered by Janet Davis Music, a Cafe sponsor, for $11.95 (SKU # JDM-BM).
It is a banjo mute that slips over the bridge that will bring down your volume, but not knock...
For the past few months I've been leading worship at a Bible study in the chapel at a retirement residence.
The chapel is small, but the acoustics (or lack thereof) produce echos and amplify all ...
Although I don't have any advice on a specific brand or price range for your amplifier dilema, I am of the opinion to get what you need now AND a bit more for what you MIGHT (within reason) need in...
Hey Jon,
My limited book-learnin' and personal experience says all items should work OK.
The basic D.I. box changes your unbalanced instrument signal to a balanced one. Of course you are...
Nothin' like the real thing.
Now, at least for me, if I want a banjer, I get a banjer, if I want a bass I get a double bass. There is nothing that compares to the actual sound of the "original"...
Welcome to "the other side" Eric,
I too play the uke (and the upright bass) and enjoy both (all three) instruments.
Don't let it get you down. Once you get things straightened out with your...
Would lining the pick-up cavity with copper foil help?
Easy to tell by watching the guitar player's hand, but if you don't play guitar you're outta luck!
It may not be "rude" to not announce the key before launching into a song, but it certainly is...
Only every time.
Strung up last week. After putting on proper eye protection, just let 'er rip (no breaks BTW).
Hey Greg,
You won't find a gigantic difference, but try changing your strings to the Gibson Sam Bush Monels. I have an OO and I find the mids are much nicer [I]on my instrument.[I] Worth a try...
Better question would be who DOESN'T use a clip-on tuner these days?
Add me to the list of happy OO players. I've been playing mine for about eight years and I continue to be well satisfied with its sound. Mine "opened up" eleven months after purchase and has...
Gents,
Anyone looking for a mandolin wall chart can find one at janetdavismusic.com (Cafe sponsor, use the link). It measures 35" X 24"
Amen John. Grammar, spelling and punctuation are forgivable, but by presenting oneself as a representative of a business, it certainly reflects poorly on that business. One would/could also assume...
djg227,
It's frustrating to have a buzz. Could be any number of things. First, check the obvious: Look at the tailpiece cover to be certain the string(s) isn't touching. I have a KENTUCKY...
Where are you located Ray?
Don't fret (pun intended), it's normal.
As a side effect, due to less finger tip sensitivity, I find I have to pay more attention to my touch typing.
I also see my left handed safe cracking...
Find a good ukelele therapist and, over time, your uke MAY become a mandolin, but the uke has to WANT to become a mando!
Thanks Jim. Good heads-up.
