Check out the Alto TS110A on the Musician's Friend website - 600 watts of power at $250. I purchased two of them in January of this year for my solo acoustic gigs and quite please with them so far....

I have a Summit F100 and based on my experience you are going to be quite happy with your purchase. Summits have got to be one of the best quality buys out there.

I have no idea why the top collapsed or what I could have done differently as I took good care of the mando.

I have had a Small Dog case cover for several years and have no regrets - regarding the standard pocket opening, a Tonegard fits perfectly, does not look like it would with the custom sideways (I...

Miller's Mule has 6 members: bluegrass banjo - upright bass - mandolin - dobro/resonator guitar - fiddle/guitar - guitar/(+ some clawhammer/mando). 4 of us sing or add harmony.

My Small Dog case cover has an outside zippered pocket which is almost a custom fit for my Tonegard. Strings & tuners still fit underneath the gard.

Play in a band and also jam; get more musical satisfaction with the performing band. - Jams tend to be social occasions but quality (& resultant frustrations or satisfaction) can vary quite a bit.

Our camp group goes down earlier every year before land rush and keep getting pushed further out from electrical outlets. We did get electricity again for 2010, not sure how we're going to plan for...

I have played in a bluegrass band for about 5 years now and dings come with the territory (specially since going to single mic). Same is true for jams. Fortunately my son has no problems with...

Phil - You can also find some good friendly jams in the open grassy area north of the Pecan Grove (east of the horse barn), I'm with Camp Brigadoon out there, stop by if you can find us. If you could...

I have the Fender Super Champ XD which puts out great sound with my Tele & Strat and weighs only 24 pounds. Having said that I don't feel that the acoustic setting on channel 2 was intended for good...

Try to get in at least one practice before a gig if not two. Individual band members work on their own parts & vocals in between times. Recently started to focus on working a single condenser mic and...

One benefit of playing in jams is finding out (generally quickly) where my shortcomings are and what needs to be worked on. A well run jam with friendly helpful folks can be a great experience, but...

I try and get to the 2nd Friday bluegrass and the 4th Friday rock n' roll jams when time permits, I've met a number of area musicians over there.

If you want to evaluate how the passport system works the Emma Chase Cafe in Cottonwood Falls uses a Passport system for their Friday night jams (bluegrass jam coming up on July 8th). It has been...

Buddy Holly.

Agreed, lots of good jammin' Friday night & Saturday.

I have two of the AT Pro 37's which I use for live mics on mandolin & guitar - to my ears better sound reproduction than a Shure 57 which I also have.

Couple of observations regarding playing for tips from my previous bluegrass band's experience - tip jars get filled better when the proprietor makes a couple of tip jar notices during the...

Recently bought a set of the the GHS Silk & Steel strings, so far liking the sound (less metallic even for new strings)

I've been looking for a relatively inexpensive decent A model mandolin. The 305 might just be it. Are there any Eastman dealers in Wichita, KS where a person might go to check one out?

Nice looking & sounding mando, since it sounds like you bought it from a local shop, I would take it back to them and have them adjust all the little issues you have noticed. The sooner they are...

Does not fix the number of wires on stage issue but we use On-Stage Stands MSA-9508 Posi-Lok Side Mount Boom (7" extension) to mount the instrument mic on the vocal mic stand to cut the number of mic...

Mustang Sally by the Rascals

Anybody know if Brent Pierce still has a music shop there (originally from Hutchinson, KS)?
