Like has been mentioned regular chairs are too short, and that comes from someone vertically challenged. I picked up a pair of these out of the Goodwill for $25 and they are the stuff. They are IKEA...

As an introvert I'm baffled by folks who seek the limelight. And only through the evolution of instantaneous communication has the whole idea that with any notoriety your life is now a fishbowl and...

You should price those ovens large enough to do something like your bass! Not to mention the bill to fire that thing up as the bigger the stove the longer you have to let it preheat until it...

I started out with one the cheap Eastman powdercoat guns. While it did the job, not until I finally could afford a pro rig that was $900+ did I realize the difference. The cheap gun because of the...

After playing the MixA5 and reading about how many classical players are using them I think the OP might right. It isn't just about replacement it's about evolution. And it's obviously in its...

I got to play a Mix A5 in Ken Cartwrights shop years ago and was at first underwhelmed by the sound. But not the feel. The neck and action were what I was used to so I kept playing and by the end of...

A typical powdercoat is 2mil thick if they know what they are doing. That's the same thickness as a garbage bag so there is no added bulk. There are literally hundreds of different powders and colors...

The PVM480 was my goto for mandolin for 20yrs until I got a Oktava 012 with a hyper cardioid capsule. It is great for guitar too as its usually hard to get good volume before feedback with acoustic...

I think the thread should have been called "Brain Cloud over Gibson".

For some of us we've seen this dire proclamation so many times it seems more like a ploy than an actual fact. This has got...

Great interview, thanks for posting that. John is an incredible musician. What floors me is whatever genre he's doing he's authentic. He gets it inside and out. I'm totally blown away at his total...

Everything I have is self powered so I don't have any separate amps to power something like orbs but I have a spare set of ESS tweets that I've thought about trying to bodge with some kind of small...

I agree with Mandoplumb and with a lot said here. Everybody is different and I'm one of those people who hate to play without monitors. But I play with guys who almost don't seem to like them,or...

Alex, that's NOT the paint, it's the old rubber hose on the arms. The new Gards have silicone hose that won't deteriorate like the old stuff. If I'd known of it at the time, I'd have gone to it. Of...

You are right Mike, plastic and surgical hose are horrible on finishes. Surgical hose is made to be disposable and when it deteriorates it turns into this horrible goo that will eat through epoxy....

It's all about feedback, but I wouldn't be surprised if the clipping is effected because it often causes feedback.

I'm totally with you about simplicity. So for me it's way easier to carry one...

I don't have a cart on the Tone-Gard website. All you have to do is send a email through the link and we can talk. It's good to have all the details like make/model of mandolin/guitar etc and...

Around here is you do less than 4sets it's not a bar gig. They also only pay dinner and a beer and whatever you can get in the tip jar.

For anything over 2 sets its now officially a job and I...

What a shock! And here I live in Los Osos!

A couple of months ago I finally had time to drop into Don's store and meet him. Very nice guy and very knowledgable. I can't say I knew him well but...

Like Tim I've used cord reels (available at any hardware store)for all cables for 20+years. I also wrap colored tape (from Radio Shack)around each end to tell me what length they are at a glance. All...

Yes I have. His F5L prototype, one he made for his daughter and two other F5's. One of which I believe he kept for himself. I can say uneqivicably his craftsmanship is as good as I've ever seen...

It's always interesting and gratifying when my impressions line up with those more competent than I. As much as I like and appreciate what the AFS does it's not magic. And the GoRack is a limited...

To each his own, but I like the tone in the new vid. Problem is I think he's got so much power he's causing some "crunch" in either the mic or some part of the signal chain to my ears. Jake's...

looks nice, would love to see one in the "flesh" and check it close. Nice big storage compartment and looks like they got rid of the huge block in the lid which is + in my book. Hope the padding is...

You know you are picking too hard when......your pick spontaneously combusts like a Spinal Tap drummer!

Astro, first off I'd like to say I for one would have never known you don't feel like you're a tech guy. I always "assume" most folks know more than me. So that always makes me hesitant to chime into...
