no problem, and good luck

I don't know currently, but I placed an order with him for a mandolin build in 2011. After nearly four years of very sporadic communication-- mostly me leaving messages for him and rarely any...

Well I just read the link. I'll leave my politics out as well. The article only mentioned mandolin one time, in reference to the manner in which U.S. may attack Syria. Instead of bringing the...

Great example. They are both fantastic. (also Bryon Sutton in the background is tough to beat on guitar as well) Mark O' bows to no mortal musically but neither does Thile. They are equals much...

I have a feeling that if you take the mandolin out of Thile's hands he'd find whatever was available musically to express himself...and be close to if not the best on any instrument. Much like...

fishing, hunting, gathering...mostly gathering.

Avid hunter of spotted owl,snail darter, blue whale, panda bear, anything endangered.

yeah and someone needs to tell him BILL DIDN'T PLAY IT LIKE THAT.

oh, and he needs a blue chip too.

well said

Agreed....the more young folks that can hear talents like Sierra (and many others) the better. They get plenty of modern mainstream music so being exposed to new bluegrass at least at little bit...

I'm as country as they come and proud of being from rural southern Tennessee. In fact I Have lived my whole life less than an hour from where Lester Flatt is from. I love Bluegrass and I greatly...

That's pretty cool. Nice to be reminded that the mandolin has way more uses than just reproducing fiddle tunes. Of course it sounds awesome reproducing fiddle tunes, but it's capable of much...

Thanks to Ed and Astro I'm now officially documented as a Registered Loser...whew, finally

To each his own....I don't know if you call it NewGrass, Bluesgrass, Contemporary Grass,...who cares? I call it awesome. I love Osbourne, McCoury, Skaggs etc. But If we're picking teams,...

I'd like to change mine to Registered Loser since I cannot figure out how to change it.

But sure does make for more interesting "Behind the Music" episodes when professionals are stuck and can't walk away. Guess us amatuers should be thankful we are amatuers.

Unfortunately these "problem" jambusters are a reflection of society. Many people are simply not aware of their surroundings. You ever notice how so few people in a store will realize they are...

After my last post, my curiosity arose so I actually looked at the PADI and reread the instructions that came with it. (I haven't looked at the info in 10 years.) I forgot several things so here...

congrats Ed, I thought you'd like it just like I have. It is amazing how full sounding it will make a relatively cheap pick-up system. As for the notch and mid knobs, Almeria answered it well. I...

Yeah, I can see why you wouldn't want to play like that. I mean they are so crappy. Give me a break...I'm so sick of hearing people say that about virtuoso's when really jealousy is the actual...

Adam Steffey....his tone on AK fourth album Every Time You Say Goodbye, "Hearstrings", "I Don't Know Why", "last love letter" got be hooked and still blows me away.
Sam Bush...his attack and...

Good points by all. I do believe that if a festival of any size wants to do well and increase it's reputation, some of the best money spent will be in providing a good sound system with someone...

Hey Tom, I agree that perfect matching is not necessary as well. I think we were saying the same thing in different ways.

Ed, as far as using both fishman and the L.R Baggs , I have not. But...

Very True Tom, but using high impedance 1/4 outputs from instruments into the high impedance input on the board just never works as well. I used to not believe that. I just said "Ah just turn the...

or painful?

Someone else on here will correct my incorrect terminology but to put it simply, I don't think the impedences need to be matched. My understanding is that the DI is converting a high impedence...
