I'd like to see reactions. :mandosmiley:
well the metallurgy wasn't really my primary concern, my concern was that my last pack of them had brass 1st and 2nd strings sets (the Es and As), and this new one is instead the steel/silver color. ...
ah-ha. thanks.
ok so i made the change from the J74s to EXP74s. Instantly loved em, gave my mando a gorgeous harplike tone.
Well this morning I was detuning to make a small bridge adjustment, and my 1st E...
we have a winner!
unfortunately, I'm just as guilty and I dont even play guitar (stupid B string)
yes, formerly of BBC, but he's one of those "rockstar" types. note the backcombed hair.
and it's definitely dubbed.
Every rock guitarist who holds a mandolin for the first time? it's either Battle of Evermore (truncated at best) or Losing My Religion.
Currently I am a full time mandolin enthusiast and Star Wars aficionado, but in the past I've been a Session Drummer, First Mate on a tug, Petty Officer in the Coast Guard, Ferry Boat deckhand, Ski...

Still laughing at this.
my mando cost me $500 + $60 for an initial setup
That is the most I can afford at the moment. It will be years before I can afford to buy a Jam Master or even a Weber. But I can afford a...
your situation mirrors mine, moved to a new state for school, scrimped to get the mando i DO have, but know i already want to upgrade (although I dont mind my neck)
At the mandolin store near me (...

May not be your cup of tea, but the melodic harmonies of random repeated sounds is found quite a bit in music, especially electronic. Bjork's music defintiely has this quality, especially her work...
let's not proselytize please. I realize the topic is a bit metaphysical but if this turns into a "praise jesus" forum, I'm out of here.
i dont have anything to add, lots of great words have been said here, but I will say Thank You for sharing your inner feelings on two of your most cherished things.
BOILED linseed... right on.
still havent built up the courage to actually do anything to the epi (especially with that new McClung on it making it look like a $5k mando (from a distance anyways))...
gorgeous results! thats what i'm after as far as looks go, hehe
taking the sanding all the way down to take out the stain is totally unnecessary. i found a decent playing surface as soon as i had gotten through the initial varnish and smoothed it out, however...
I've seen these kits around, and while the tele style does nothing for me (cmon, i play mandolin, its NOT a miniature freaking guitar) that huge headstock has potential...has anyone made an 8 string...
well, I used some 180 grit to tear off the varnish, then went to 220 then 400 then just a green scrubby. I did this on the Rogue I have, so as not to ruin my main mando. Feels pretty good, but the...
note to self: dont bother talking about anything non-mando on these forums.
