[Checks mandolin], It says "MF", so... :confused:

Same situation with a louder band has me using a Gibson EM200 8-string electric. After some experimentation (still on-going) have settled on using an EHX OD Glove (OCD clone) overdrive pedal and a...

Late to this thread, but I've been playing a Gibson EM-200 for about two years now. It gets taken to gigs where we're going to get loud, like this weekend's St. Paddy's Day madness.

Does it sound...

Dressing for gigs is part of the event. Venue could have chosen a Spotify stream but they booked a live band. So, I'll show up looking like someone in the band. The orange sport coat does not see...

July 2020 I snapped the first knuckle tendon of my left ring finger, Mallet Finger.

Doc said I'd heal, but I asked for an X-ray and referral to a specialist.

About 2 months in a splint and...

I do wish Dunlop had assigned a bit more distinction to each of the sizes/shapes/materials because there is a a lot of diversity inside the 'Primetone' tent. On finding a perffered style, I bought a...

The Live from Here house band has to be one of the best line-ups ever, and the shows when they had Haas, Jarosz, and O'Donovan were always my favorites.

Good to know the mandolin exists within The First Degree. Guess that makes all of us 2nd Degree Bacons, right?

Whaddya know? It does have a radius, but nowhere near as curved as the Weber, and so assumed it was flat. Not so! Thanks for the heads up.

Thile and Compton. Opposite ends on the spectrum of perfection (IMHO)

We are all different in size and shape, so how could there be an ideal neck profile? I recently acquired a Collings MF and even through I'd played many before, knew the shape felt good, there was the...

It is good to hear from you, Michael through we all wish the news was different. You have been in my thoughts lately, and that will continue. Take care of yourself, and all those around you.

Gig tonight, and as the only soloist for our hour-and-a half set, I'll be bringing the EM-200 as an alternate tone to break up the mandotony. Songs range from 'Grass to Grunge, and obviously will...

When the banjo player in the band switched to electric, there was no other road to take. We have moved on to the amplifier wars, and an AC30 most always gets its way.

Let me know if these work, or if you need better quality/angle/etc. Quick phone photos.

The last thing I would want from an electric mandolin would be for it to sound like an acoustic mandolin. Electric guitars generally do not sound like acoustic guitars. To the extent that 'sounding...

Have a suspicion it's not the Loar. ;)

Just a Nugget, that is all I ask.

Peterson StroboPlus HD is the one for me. Have used it on all the instruments for over 6 years now, including calibrating the key tracking for synths and tuning the spinet piano. I genuinely credit...

I treat my mandolin teacher as if they were a coach. There isn't a whole lot left for me to study or learn, but of course we always do find things. Most of the discussion is about efficient mechanics...

Strat has not been picked up since getting this EM200 from our Classifieds last week. Also putting in a good word for the fantastic Vox AC30 as tube amp of choice for this household.

Ha! I do enjoy the ukulele very much, and also completely understand your point. Am currently playing in a band called The Ukulele Brothers (mando/b-vox). These guys can square off any noble groove...

Guitar has been an 'albatross around my neck' since I started mandolin, always ending up playing 6-strings instead of 4-courses, for... reasons. Last year, took a mandolin position in a cover band,...

Personally, I think phrasing is the most important component in a compelling melody. Even fiddle tunes and Bach pieces that contain mostly eight notes have an underlying syncopation, where not every...
