  1. Re: Using a K&K Trinity Preamp in mono mode

    So I just want to add to my post here that perhaps I should be looking at a different preamp entirely. I really only used a volume pedal and a tuner when playing mandolin for my local church group. ...

  3. Re: Debating on whether to self-install a K&K on Collings MT Oval

    Mandobart, I'm really challenged now to do this myself if I cannot find anyone qualified. I've had numerous issues with repair people in the Chicago area who overcharge for work they cannot even do...
  4. Re: Debating on whether to self-install a K&K on Collings MT Oval

    If anyone knows a good luthier repair guy in the Chicago area that can do a pickup installation for me, by all means send me the info.
  5. Re: Debating on whether to self-install a K&K on Collings MT Oval

  9. Re: I'm trying to find out what Pick I bought 8 years ago

    I think Barry hit the nail on the head, it is a Red Bear pick and was bought from Elderly or First Quality Music Supply, both which I have been dealing with over the years. I send the pick image to...

    Timbo... do you want it back?
  11. I'm trying to find out what Pick I bought 8 years ago

    I bought this pick and it ended up being too thick although the bevels are nice.

    I'm looking to have my F4 setup with a bit lower action and I'm thinking the nut grooves need to go lower. Is there a standard action height for the strings at the nut?

    thanks,

    I somehow acquired those CDs and I think they are great. If Grier is unhappy about it, too bad.. if not for the bootleg, I would have never heard of him and not have bought one of his solo CDs.
