I know there have been a lot of threads regarding these clip on mic options, but none that address some specific questions I have:
1) Anyone have direct comparison experience between either or...
Yes, that's the set up I use for my guitar: Xvive 1/4"out (transmitter) to Tonedexter 1/4" input (receiver). Then I cable the TD to the PA board.
But with the Meyers Feather on my mando, I need a...
As I switch back and forth between acoustic guitar and mandolin during gigs, I hate doing the "instrument cable dance". I use a Meyers Feather clip on mic on my mandolin, which has a 1/4 out from...
Just curious how you all approach the structure of your practice sessions. Let's say you have one hour to practice, and you have different elements you like to work on such as scales, arpeggios,...
As a local gigging mando/guitar player, I've accepted the new world order of band/music marketing: whether you want 5 gigs a year or 500, you have to have an online presence - website, social media...
I use a Meyers Feather clip-on mic and love it. It doesn't require phantom power - in fact, there's an annoying hum/hiss if you try to use phantom power with it. It makes my Big Mon sound as...
Thank you all for the geat expanations!
As a relatively new mandolinist, I see a lot written and discussed about arpeggios. In the mando world, what exactly is an arpeggio and can any of you point me to a few good examples of song...
Curious if anyone has had a chance to play and compare one of the new F5Gs to prior year models? I'm surprised more vids of the new models haven't popped up on YT. I know there are a few (Acoustic...
Artists make famously very little on streams/plays. The business has been flipped upside down. Back in the day, the money was in album sales and bands toured (often at a loss) to promote album...
What brand/model of guitar is TE playing? Not his usual Maton...
Saw Frank play in a tiny club in Marin County, Ca way back in the 70s; Jerry Garcia on banjo, Sandy Rothman on fiddle I believe, David Nelson on acoustic guitar. They called themselves The Good...
I'm going to keep my eyes open on the used market for a Gibson F5L. In the modern era (let's say 1980 forward), are there specific years or stretches of years where these are considered to be more...
Wondering if anyone has played all three of the better Northfield's - Big Mon, 4th Gen. F, and 2 Bar Red Spruce Artist series and have thoughts on differences?
Secondly, any of the above vs. a...
I also practice and perform standing up as much as possible for two main reasons: 1) my lower back really stiffens up if I sit for very long, and B) I like having the ability to gently sway/rock as I...
Thanks - just put in an order for one..
I have a thin leather strap that is about 2mm thick but it barely fits around the base of the end pin and I feel it is always at risk of popping off while I'm playing. Anyone know of a strap that is...
Anyone use this combo? Curious what you've found the best placement to be for the PU? And have you found there to be a difference between using the putty or the double-sided tape?
After you attach the PU using the putty, do you typically just leave the pick up on the mandolin all the time, or do you remove it when not plugged in?
If you do remove it, do you need to use...
Thanks!
I have a Tonedexter I use for my Martin guitar (with K&K) and love it.
I want to be able to use it with my mandolin but read on the TD website that there is a different firmware version for...
Just got back from two weeks in Italy. I left my newish Big Mon on the Hercules stand where it normally resides. Came back and was big time jones-ing to pick up my instruments. Grabbed the Big Mon...
I play mandolin in a trio (acoustic guitar, bass, mandolin) where the guitar plays finger style on maybe 70% of the tunes. I agree that cross-picking on the mando can muddy the waters but otherwise...
The Toneguard I originally used on a Kentucky KM1050 works fine on my Big Mon.
