Well, I know it hasn't gotten any better, that's for sure, but we are still able to talk on the phone just fine. David is playing mostly these clawhammer banjos these days since they seem to grate...

Hi everybody! I just thought I'd let everyone know there is a new song out that features David McLaughlin on mandolin and banjo. David was nice enough to record with me one day at his inn. Here is a...

What's the general concensus on these early 50's (this is a 1950) Gibson EM-150's? I hear good things about the 50's and not so great on the 60's...

Hi gang. A friend of mine is selling this and I thought I'd post it here in case anyone is interested. I played this mandolin this weekend and it really is amazing, acoustically too. If I wasn't...

David is a friend of mine. I stayed at the inn a few weeks ago with my girlfriend and we went to an oldtime jam with David. It was a real treat to enjoy playing music with my friend again, that's...

I attended this... well, the first half only. Got started a little late (understandable for bluegrass world, I guess) and I had to dip out to get ready for my own band's sound check. It was neat,...

Thanks everyone. I guess it helps with 8 string, that I am a long time 12-string electric guitar player.

So I've been playing an eight string Rick electric with my band lately. Last night, at rehearsal, I was hoping they wouldn't call a mando tune, because I wasn't in the mood to play mando and the...

Hey gang. Sorry it's been a while since I rapped at ya. The guys at band practice last night finally twisted my arm and got me to bust out the Rick 5002 and play Gin and Juice with them. I discovered...

Hi gang. Here's a thread over on the RickResource Forum I help moderate:

On that youtube video I did recently, I played a Rick 5002 through a 1965 Gretsch 6150T (tube amp). You can judge for yourself, but I think it did well. A mando-specific EQ and/or amp is a great...

Nope, I'm on another day. going to pm now.....

That's pretty damn close!!! pm sent

Yep, that's it. A David Peters book, with a reference to mandolincafe.com in the title/contents section.

I live and work in Tampa. I study with Mike Godwin of Gypsy Wind, at his Modern Music...

Anyone near Tampa?

Hey, neat! David is a friend of mine. Great guy. It's funny, I started taking mandolin lessons recently, and last week saw some of his solos transcribed in a book. I thought that was odd, so I did a...

Cool idea, but the R tailpiece is, like, half the size of a 5002... it might be tricky!!! :LOL:

CM - I hope you're not feeling guilty about so-called thread hijack. Over on RRF where I moderate it happens constantly and is often useful and fun. So no worries, dude!

How about just using one...

I put a video on youtube of the AFG 5002. My username is jhitviews if you want to check it out. Sorry my playing is not very good. I don't play well sitting down. I almost always play standing.

Sea Green, Monty Brown, and Burgundy would be cool too, if they even exist.

Hi there. I have a few Rick 5002's. Is anyone here into them? Cheers, J
