I like the idea of amp sims for gigging when someone else is running the house sound. :)
I use an old Line6 POD 2.0. The cool thing about pedal amps, if they're digital like the POD 2.0, is that...
UPDATE:
Did a bit of a light service on the JBovier EMC-5 today. Unstrung it, cleaned the fretboard, dusted all surfaces, ran some WD40 through the pots (MUCH better!), changed the strings, and...
Like other folks here who play mandola as well, I've experimented more with tunings on that than on the mandolin. For a while I did the Yank Rachel thing and tuned my Weber (17" scale length) to E B...
Inconceivable!
That's great. Thanks Bill.
I'm going to give 11-16-24 (which I already use -I was wrong above) 38-50 a try.
The hammer-ons and pull-offs are on the G string frets 1, 3, and 4.
Very kind!

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

Anyone know whereabouts in France Paul lives?
(Suddenly wondering about the feasibility of actual mandolin jazz lessons!)
Daniel in Laon.
I'm asking because after trying Kenny Burrell's "Midnight Blue" on both my 5 string emandos, I am reg=considering the massive gauges I have been using.
They are strung with 13 - 53 electric guitar...
Another vote for the Orchid Elelctroncs preamp. I love mine. I run a Paul Hathway octave mandolin through it.
No eq or tuner, but it's a tank, it's utterly silent, and it does the job...
Hello John,
I have a bunch of little amps. But my current favourite is my Ampeg Jet II (1x12) reissue that's pushing 20 years old now.
It has both reverb and tremolo, which can get dangerous if...
I'm with you on the scale length. My Arrow G5 has a 15" scale length and my JBovier a standard 14". I much prefer the extra inch. It makes a big difference to the feel and reach.
I'm (probably...
I have sat down with the chart several times, and listened to Henderson's version of the tune dozens of times, but I am finding it difficult to keep the tune in mind when reading the staff.
I...
:popcorn:
Wonderful! Keep it coming!
I have class Monday evenings at 7pm here in France (1pm EST/10amPST) if you have any last minute thoughts. ;)

Sounds great Tom! Love the tune and the way you execute it.
But I'm not giving up my 5 string emandos. ;)
Daniel
Thanks Everyone!
I'll refuse to re-invent the wheel by staying in the first position.
My class has been working on improvizational theory, so I have been working gently on the scales Bruce...
Hello all,
I almost posted this to the Jazz, etc section but I'm thinkng as request for some help learning the piece is more appropriate here.
I've started taking a Jazz improvisation class at...
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...
Cool stuff!
I like the Monaghan set a little better than the first set, largely because I think you got the drone and the tempo well matched there. It has a (dare I say it?) quality that brings...
Probably just marketing. Most players will look at "travel guitars" before they look at electric mandolins.

"4 string fully electric guitar"
4 strings... 13 7/8" scale length... that's a mando, not a guitar.
...
I dig it. :)
The location of the truss rod adjustment screw makes it difficult to get the pickup closer. But there's room at the back for a second one!

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...
Ooo! Magnatone! I wish I had the cash for one. The stereo effects are very cool.
(I have used two amps to go stereo at home, and I love using a chorus effect in stereo.)
Have a look at...
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...
