Snarks here. Red and Black. Don't think I've changed the batter in either; I just remember to turn it off when I've tuned :)

Your wish etc.
I just use the side dots; fretboard dots are useful to help work out what some else is playing :)
Totally agree, I’ve even gone to the extent of editing out the spoken parts when they get too annoying on some tracks in my collection.
Whatever it is I’m sure someone will be along in a minute to ask what the point of it is! :))
Why do I play electric mandolin?
Like any other instrument. Because I can*.
I originally got mine for quiet practice but it gives me a palette of sounds that I can’t get from a guitar or...
It depends on how you want to use it for and how likely pets, children or other family members are likely to knock it over! I’ve got a variety of stands.
One similar to this:...

Using a set of EJ76 as a starting point and putting in your scale length suggests that a. 012, 022w, 030w, 044w will have a similar tension to EJ76 on a 1 3/4” scale
Thanks that’s a useful tool. Wouldn’t have been too much effort the other way - I was planning to let Tabledit do the hard work :)
Hope that’s worked?

I found the abc on abc notation so could make a tab for you from that. But possibly not for a few days as its a holiday weekend here.
If I tuned my OM that way it would be a bouzouki :) I tried for a while but went back to GDAE because I was getting too confused switching between OM, mandolin and guitar in DADGAD. For some tunes...
Perhaps he was trying to tell you something? :grin:
For what it's worth I use the same gauge stings on my electric (8 string) as I do on my acoustic but obviously in steel rather than PB.
Yes, as foldedpath says can be easily done. For gauges just go for ones that are half the diameter of your current G and D strings or if you have spare A and E strings you can use those.
The nut on my Ashbury is 1-3/8”. It’s wider than my mandolin but i have no problem switching between the two instruments. For me it was just a case of getting used to it.
I think you’re all showing off! :) Save for the 12th fret (to check intonation) I never go above the 7th, that’s nosebleed territory.
TimeOut magazine and their website timeout.com is a good source for London listings
Probably waiting until we have a definitive answer so as not to confuse the issue by posting a picture of a “wrong” one :)
In the meantime here’s mine:

Yes, it’s what I’d call a “standard” mandolin bridge for a flattop. You can move it fore and aft for intonation but if you want to change the intonation you need to get the sandpaper ot
Are you set on a Mandocaster or will you look at other shapes?
I’m very happy with my Ashbury AM240

After all the praise here I decided to take the plunge. I’m a little disappointed.....

The output from Tabledit makes an attempt to indicate the length for quavers, semi-quavers and dotted notes but doesn’t distinguish crotchets and longer notes
I’d suggest that you learn to play an instrument that you want to play. You’ll be more motivated to practice and will improve faster.
If you then wanted to learn something else you’ll have the...
