I have a Peavey Classic 50, Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue, and a vintage silverface Fender Princeton Reverb. The Princeton is by far the best with mando. IMO the best anyway.

I recently purchased a 5 string from Jonathan Mann tuned CGDAE in 14.7" scale. I could not be happier with the instrument. Jon is great to work with and I'm sure he'd be willing to make you...
I play electric guitar as well as mando and have been experimenting with pedals for about 20 years now. The best overdrive and distortion pedals I have ever used are the Fulltones. The Fulltone...
I have a older Peavey Classic 50, a Deluxe Reverb Reissue, and a '79 Princeton Reverb (model with the pull boost that you should never pull). The Princeton is by far the best, a bit warmer than the...
Thanks very much! I've been listening to this for years and always thought it was an SCI tune. Thanks for straightening that out for me. One of my favorites as well.
String Cheese tune. Anyone know if it's original or if it comes from something else (like how they play a tune they called "Rivertrance" but it's actually Cooley's Reel? Does anyone have music for...
I wish I could just stay home from work and do that! Here's the thread about it:

Sounds great!!! Congrats! We are in a similar boat, my Jon Mann shipped today. I will be staring out the window until it comes.
Wow it's done! Shipped today.
I used to own a Zeta Acoustic Pro that I really liked. Zeta is out of business now but the head luthier now has his own shop: http://fournessviolins.com/
I've wanted a 5 string electric since about 1998 and wouldn't even have known about Jonathan Mann if it weren't for this site. Thanks very much! Super excited.
Another update. The level of customer service is amazing! Looks like I'm even going to get before promised.
I don't think they're gold, must be just the light. I'm sure he would have said so if it was, but that would certainly influence my decision about the hardware.
I'm thinking chrome hardware and black pickup rings. What do you guys think?
Yeah I've been obsessing over his site for a while. I actually sold my zeta acoustic pro violin and codabow to get this. I was tempted to leave it natural but I decided to go with honeyburst. Like...
Can't wait to put my hands on this thing. Jon has been sending picture updates, this includes the first and second sets.
I really like the Fulltone Fulldrive and you gotta have a Boss chromatic tuner pedal.
IMO digitech and other inexpensive multi effects are more toys than useful devices. Be careful when you look at them, they can seem really cool in the store and then after a few weeks of having them...
Thanks for posting this! It's so refreshing to see young musicians (SHEL) playing this kind of music at this level. Awesome!
I like mogami or canare cable. A 15' cable with high quality connectors can be found on eBay for ~$25. IMO the super expensive cables are a big waste of money.
