    Re: Mandobird pickup replacement ideas

    +1 on the Wilde Bill Lawrence. The LS45 gives you a great twin rail with wiring options.
  2. Re: Pedal novice question re: preamp pedal

    Boss AD-10. I moved up from the Baggs Venue DI. Amazing gear.

    Re: Single coil upgrade suggestions?

    Wilde Bill Lawrence pickups. Twin blade is silent, and a great option.

  4. Re: Amplifiers/pdeals for playing in an electric band

    I have two pedals listed on Reverb that would meet your needs. The Source Audio Collider (delay-reverb) and the SpiralFX Yellow Overdrive. All you need beyond that is a decent floor tuner. I'm in...

    Re: Dillion mandolins?

    With a decent set up they are a fair value for the money. I had the 335 style for a while.

    Re: Buzzing amp

    Ground issue likely, and most likely the Eastwood. Compare on a different amp with no known issues. If buzzing continues, it's tech time to chase the ground.

    Re: Preamp VS Booster Pedal

    That Baggs Venue was my secret sauce, especially for my Rigel A. That said, the AD-10 is an amazing upgrade, starting with the two instrument input. Each can be programmed with lots of presets;...

    Re: Preamp VS Booster Pedal

    I have an older Loudbox, and it does amplify the K&K inside my MD-515 nicely. That said, IMO piezos will always be well served by sculpting the sound with a good preamp and EQ. I used to love my old...

    Re: What Preamp Do You Prefer

    Boss AD-10. Had the Baggs Venue; thus is a much better piece of gear.

    Re: Ibanez Model 524 (1978)

    Congrats on a great purchase. The 1970's M-I-J mandolins can be a widely varying bunch, but I think Ibanez (and for that matter the Aria Pro II) often put out well-produced, great sounding...
  11. Re: Mandolin Case/Gig-Bag with Backpack Straps

    Boulder Alpine gig bag or a Travelite foam case. Own both of them and both are good but different, solutions.

    Re: John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band

    Caught John as part of the Desert Rose Band at Rams Head in Annapolis just over 10 years ago. Incredible musician, no matter what is in his hands.

    Re: Even the Rolling Stone gets it

    OK, so let me ask how many of us generally turn to Rolling Stone for bluegrass coverage? Or forward on pieces covering bluegrass/newgrass/any grass from it? For me, that's a never. Would I expect to...

    I've had good experience with the Travelite. Sold one with a mando, so picked up another one to have "just because."

    Re: Bill Bussman passes

    Stunned to hear this. Don't forget his work with whistles as well. RIP Bill.
  18. Re: Is an Eastman 315 enough of an upgrade over a well set-up Iba

    For those interested, also not far from DC in Loudoun County is Melodee Music. They have a wall of new mandolins that include The Loar, Kentucky, Eastman, Troublesome Creek, Rose (local builder!),...

    Re: What PA gear brands do you favor?

    Charlie, I'd take the JBL over the Bose no question. Bose is fine; IMO JBL is better sounding at less dollars.

    Rockville makes decent stands that will hold the weight no worries.

  20. Re: Acoustic/Electric Mando in $2,000-3,000 Price Range

    Is less money an option? The Eastman El Rey covers a lot of great tones. Also, Jonathan Mann offers options at that price point. A used Rigel is great is a piezoelectric pickup works for your friend.

    Re: Anyone use an octave pedal?

    Since the thread has been revived, let's update, it. MXR has released the MXR M306. This poly-octave offers two octaves up and down, plus fuzz, plus modulation. I'm still tempted.

    Have you looked at the Wilde Bill L45S? Bill Lawrence's wife and daughter are keeping his legacy alive. IIRC, I had one put in the Kentucky. The original install messed up the wiring harness, but the...

    Cables are the critical connections in a signal chain. I've found that Whirlwind Leader cables are incredibly well built, and are supported by a lifetime warranty. Still have my first one some 20+...
