I once owned a bass with a wenge neck (it was amazing) but hadn't thought of it as a tone wood. Sounds great!

I'm thinking of thinning the herd a little, mostly to raise a little extra cash to pay for the Eastman MDO305 I have on order and was wondering what a reasonable price to ask for a mint condition...

n+1 :grin:

FWIW I went to my local shop a few years ago with a Kentucky model in mind and went home with an Eastman MD504, it was love at first strum and has only gotten better sounding over time.

A belated thank you!

As long as you're this side of the sod you're never too old.......admittedly I find at 57 it takes a little more time for things to sink in but it's good for your brain (use it or lose it) and it's...

I shipped a bass to Italy a few years ago, other than filling out the customs declaration (and the cost) it wasn't really much different than shipping domestically. It was insured and could be...

The LM-600 would make a very nice first mandolin (I owned and enjoyed one) but my suggestion would be - if possible - visit a shop with a variety of mandolins in stock and try a few out. Between your...

Rule #1 when I sell anything via PayPal is that the...

Love the scroll (appeals to the bassist in me....)

Very nice!

If it's on the Internet it must be true..........:)):)):))

Who Knows Where the Time Goes - Sandy Denny / Fairport Convention

First heard it in the early 70s and it still gives me goosebumps......

Loved it!

Maybe you can! LOL

For those of us who's primary mandolin will, for the time being, be of modest pedigree we could experience the joy of owning 2 cheap mandolins! Seriously though, having a beater...

Hi, not trying to hijack the thread but I'm in a similar position - trying to decide on my first mandolin and I noticed a couple of recurring pieces of advice.......

Can anyone recommend an affordable, reasonably accurate hygrometer?

I picked up a similar item the Harmony Wheel a while back - great tools, worth every penny!

Thanks for the link, it looks like a really good excercise. Time to dust off the metrognome.

Maybe I'm still thinking too much like a bassist/guitar player but aren't these licks based on scales?
