I find this...

I'm becoming your friendly neighbourhood video embedder :) :

Cool stuff Gary!

Thanks Don,

One of the things I miss most about living in California was access to all the great mandolin content: teachers, concerts, instruments, instrument repair etc.

I don't know if...

Lovely stuff. Wish I could play like this.

Don, what are you running your signal through. Is it just the amp? (what amp is...

If it we a 5 string I'd have told you about it after I bought it. ;)

Daniel

Thanks guys. That's helpful. I'll probably be having a chat with my friend Etienne van Hove soon to discuss pricing and design issues.

Mike, not overlooking CGDAE at all. I have an Arrow G5 5...

Howdy folks!

I'm interested in the idea of designing a 5 string electric octave mandolin which would be tuned either GDAEB or a step lower to FCGDA. I have a Paul Hathway octave mandolin tuned...

I changed some Schallers on my Vessel F5 to Rubners. Love them.

Daniel

I got an Epi mandobird some years ago from an online retailer selling them cheap. It was the end of the run and the gold sparkly ones were not selling as well as the tobacco burst or the black.

Dont drop it!

I posted about this before I think... I have a Mooer octave pedal that does various combinations of one or two octaves away from the source note. I use mine in a bit of a counter-intuitive way. ...

I think Etienne put D'addarios on it.
He used loop ends and then re-used the balls from the pervious set. I told him it would have been OK to buy electric guitar strings, ;)

There have been a...

Got this little guy back from Etienne Van Hove yesterday. He did a full set up. Hard to put down now.

Yes, and lengthen the scale to 15" and it would be, for me, pointless to try to resist buying one.

I have realised that almost all my effects are actually boost pedals in one way or another...

Mooer octave pedal
Origin Effects SlideRig (2 channel preamp with compression)
DOD FX-10 boost ...

If you know about John Jorgenson, this will not surprise you.

But this is a really wonderful 15 minute video that includes discussion about Jethro Burns from Sam Bush and Ricky Skaggs.

That sucks. But thanks for staying on the job. (I offer my thanks to the French guys who do the same!)

I'm on furlough until 21 April when my resignation is effective. Then I'm unemployed. And...

The problem I am having now is that the mic goes to channels 1 and 2 and the instrument input goes to channels 3 and 4, or vice versa. It seems to me that the browser is only picking up channels 1...

I pulled my Line 6 Tone Port UX1 outta moth balls yesterday. Spent 3 hours updating drivers and trouble shooting the thing. Gave up in frustration. I just could not get any signal out of the...

Ok. Wow.

Daniel

Hi Doc,
The El Rey has an electromagnetic pickup in it, so it is meant to be played through a 'guitar' amplifier, rather than directly through a PA or 'acoustic' amplifier. People hereabouts have...

That's gorgeous.
What's the scale length, and what gauges are you using to string it?

(Been jonesing a Yanuziello electric mandola since I found out about his work)

Daniel

I disagree! France has a lot to offer including some regional folk music in the north and Bretagne.

Bretagne: One of my favourite bands is Sonerien Du. There's also Tri-Yann, Dan Ar Braz, Les...

You won't need distortion, a bit of overdrive will create as dirty a sound and be a bit more versatile with 8 strings.

It's fun.

But I prefer to use an 8 string in place of a 12-string guitar...

Bought myself a foot switch for the POD 2.0. Wrong one as it turns out. I need an FBV not an FB4. (Good lord why did they switch from Arabic numerals to Roman ones?) Mince. As they politely say...
