Thanks-Will do! Hoping someone can recommend, though. Ideally somebody here is playing I can be supportive of.

I'll be in Alexandria this weekend and was wondering where to hear some good music....Any body here playing out this weekend? Any recommendations?
don't need a jam or a session, just good tunes....
I bought a dean for a hundred bucks once. It plays great, but has a bit thinner neck than I like. Laminated top sounds like steamed butt when it's not plugged in, so I play it out whenever I need an...
Mattg - are you learning it in Ebm/Gb? If so, you're brave. I took it up a half step.
I hear all three of you. I had a bass player for awhile who made decent money and could play the heck out of anything on the low end, but prided himself on not only how beat up his instruments were,...
I'm only at $730. Got a great deal on an Eastman from a great guy right here on the Cafe, I need to play this one better before I buy up again, I'm a believer in earning an instrument through...
Bach Sonata #1 in Gm, Adagio.
Still.
John,
Thanks-that says a lot. And well. I read about a guy who was transposing the S & Ps to bass and spent 30 years on it, sounded like he could have spent more but started feeling it was time...
I owe a great debt to the Werner Icking archive, as a guy who worked as a musician for years and had no money and a tendency to listen to bad music and play even worse
(band vans and consensus, not...
The clip on Intellitouch is an incredible value and something I never play without-it tunes in very noisy rooms and is darn true. At home where it's quiet, I love the Korg TM-40. That one follows me...
For me it's a tool. I don't care if the tool gets a a chuckle if it gets the job done.
I play bass a lot for cash because there's money in it, but I'm inevitably asked to bring the mando along....
Also In Illinois I had the terror of playing for a high school class our Bass Player taught. It was a private, affluent school in the western Chicago suburbs and I figured the kids would hate us, we...
Caleb,
I'm with you. I think it's infinitely difficult and frustrating. If it were not so elusive and engaging I doubt any of us would spend this much of our time thinking about it. It takes a...
I guess I can't add much save that I think it will come down to what your goals are in playing. If you just want some tunes to play at jams, tab's where it's at, most likely, but if you want to...
My last order was a huge string order from FQMS, late November. Got everything in 3 days to Illinois. I've never had a problem ordering online, but I've never hit a back order, either. Guess I wanted...
ok. It's awesome. Sincerely and I want to take it with me to work, but I'm dumb and maybe some one would tell me where to do the download - I'm just streaming. I wish I was smart.
Man, There's always horror stories. I had a monster break up a few years back where they kept going with the name and continued to play a set list entirely composed of songs I wrote. I stayed open,...
I love this one. I love all the answers and I think this may be the most interesting post I've found in a long time. So many of you have so many great objectives and it's great hearing that there's...
I never knew Charlie. I never communicated with him here, in fact I rarely post. I just wanted to say that the kind of love spilling all over this cafe makes me wish I'd done both. Further, It make...
I never met a Ludewig I didn't like. As always, beautiful.
As a guy looking to order, I am curious if anyone can share photo evidence of the things that delineate the good from the great. It's so easy to find online pictures of absolutely magnificent art in...
ya know, me not being the most experienced guy and considering ordering, and in the interest of pictures, can someone post good versus bad scrolls? I get the obvious-and I may own the ugliest scroll...
I was there last year and then a few years back before it got so big. Loved it. Message me and I'll give anyone wanting to meet up my cell #. Got to play 2 tunes on a Ludewig last year and haven't...
I was going to try to get together with all the orphaned mandolin players out here in the great plains, but life got in the way for a few months. There's the bluegrass fest in Naperville this weekend...
you're a good man, antlurz, and I got a mando with lower action and no buzz. I owe you a beer.
