    I'm in Aisne, probably 7 or 8 hours by car. Well, at least we're in the same timezone. ;)

    Thanks Brad.

    Change your strings!

    No, really. Change your strings. I'll wait. ;)

    Done? Great!

    I have been gigging with (small to very small) amps for my 5 strings lately, and decided my Ampeg Jet II reissue needed a...

    Re: Amplifier for electric mandolin

    Visiting the US for 6 weeks, I decided to rent an amp locally. (I wanted to bring a solidbody emando for durability.) The guy in the shop said $20 a week for a 40w Laney, which was to much amp. So...

    Re: Amplifier for electric mandolin

    What type of pickup do you have? Is it one designed to reproduce an acoustic(ish) sound or is it a magnetic pikcup, like the ones in elelctric guitars?
    The answer makes a difference to the type of...

    Re: NMD: Eastwood S Mandola

    I know how you feel about the pickup on the Eastman vs the pickups on the Eastwood S. I have an Arrow G5 that cost more than 5 times my JBovier FMC 5. Between the hollow body and the single Kent...

    Re: Do I need a mandola?

    You don't need a mandola. What you need is a 5 string mandolin, electric or not.
    Mandola on the bottom four, mandolin on the top four.

    Re: Stereo. Oh dear...

    Ed, That's an excellent point. I'll curb my gear lust for a bit and enjoy the sound as it is.

    Jim, I think I'm out of danger with phase inversion. The amps are set rather loud, too loud for the...

    Re: post a video of yourself

    An audience member took this video at a recent house concert. It's not the best angle for mandolin watchers, but the sound is very good. Listen with headphones.
    I wrote the song in English when my...

    Re: 5-string mandolin for beginner?

    I had the same experience as Verne. I decided to think of the 5 string as a short scale mandola with an option in the top. Now it's all second nature.

    Re: EQ Pedal for Live Shows?

    I agree with Nathan 100%. I use the GE-7 constantly at every gig and every rehearsal. I use a gentle smile curve, cut the mids bosst the highs and lows. I leave the level slider on 0, but you can...

    Re: Continuing my electric education

    I have used a Mooer with a Line6 POD 2.0 with no problem.
    The POD can only do one on-board effect at a time as far as I am aware, so having some octave with, for example, tremolo is not a bad thing....

    Re: Where to go from here?

    Hi Bill,

    Where to go from here really depends on what you want to do with the EM8.

    My advice is to get a Line6 POD 2.0 off ebay or Reverb. They're cheap and they will allow you play with a lot...

    I have a Weber Alder #2 mandola with a 17" scale length. I use D'Addario DY-80s (octave mandolin) on it and tune it CGDA. Works great.
