From the moment I met Alan Niederland we were brothers and beloved friends, as can be seen not an uncommon experience for so many both in this digital space and anywhere else in the world lucky...

Good morning all you wonderful pickers! This will be my last update on the MC Pick Sampler lists because as I've stated multiple times in recent posts, the day both samplers have shipped is the day...

Updated tracking from usps shows today is now the day.

I will wait another day to get an address from NotReadyForProd (there wasn't one in their original DM) for Sampler #2. If I don't...

Good news! The internationally famous MC Pick Sampler #1 is out for delivery this afternoon to Stopstop.

For the second sampler, I had reached out to the next five names in the list but have only...

Thanks to all for the patience I forced upon you, but at least the interminable wait is over! Both pick samplers have been checked and are ready to ship out. I've seen a dozen attempts by various...

Oh my beloved mando-bro Drew, so that's the reason for the gleam in your eye the first time you picked a tune on Squeeze...you were wondering if she had a younger sister just as blonde. Not only is...

FYI, the infamous traveling pick sampler(s) is/are about to relaunch so keep an eye out for my announcement in the next few weeks. No better way to try out 100+ different types of picks for just the...

Stephen tried to propose a Model 1-for-pick sampler in-kind trade but he balked at spending the additional cash necessary to make it a fair value exchange. I couldn't wait for his next F5 to be...

:popcorn:

The short answer is 'No'. They are not still circulating and haven't been since late 2019.

The slightly longer answer is more positive. Both samplers are intact, in hand, and will be relaunched...

Clawson threads always catch my eye because I almost bought one on a whim a while back and wonder if I missed out on one of the good ones.

Start here and also follow the links provided by...

To complete a triumvirate of the usual AB Camp suspects on this forum, I too will be a returning 5th-year attendee. Wary? You bet, but Bibey has as good a plan for safety as can be had at the moment,...

An interesting theoretical question, but you may be phrasing it from a slightly outdated view of the show. While in the beginning it certainly carried over much of its predecessor's basic form, as of...

Here's a good one with a few pickers you might recognize:

And yes, you should also learn Tennessee Blues as well as East Virginia Blues. Just to keep you on your...

Howdy all!

As usual I'm behind in posting updates to this thread, but I do have some excellent news. Both samplers are in circulation with new recipients, and recent reports of missing picks were...

Hi Slim,

In theory they would work, but the propylene glycol solution that is normally used for cigars pumps out moisture around 72% Relative Humidity, which is too high for the recommended 45-50%...

Grabbed one last night because why not. Haven't given in to MAS in a while. Tried an offer like Darryl's and got rejected. Added 4 bucks the next go-around and it'll be here Saturday. But was it...

During your search, one thing to keep in mind is that by definition vibrato is achieved by modulating the pitch of a note. The most common manual techniques for achieving this on a steel string...

Willem,

I've looked because like you I think it's a great pick and would like to have one, but I can't find that particular pick in stock online anywhere and don't even know the model. But, since...

And that's why it always sits front and center. :cool:

You done a good thing, Cal.

The Pick Samplers are both back on tour!

Here's a pic. #1 on the left, #2 on the right.

They both have close to the same number of picks total, but #1 has a slight edge in different...

V-Pick or original ProPlec version?

I've been playing more electric mando than previously lately and found a sharply pointed V-Pick Lite Freakishly Large to be the quietest pick in my arsenal...

Awesome. Great sounding band and certain to polarize as is Sam's wont. He pulls some fantastic tone from that Mandocaster (would love a detailed rig rundown) and his wah-wah-filled solo at the end...

Howdy all. As it does, life has gotten in the way of posting to the forum recently so my apologies for any ignored requests to be added to the recipient lists for the picks.

The lack of any info...
