I just read the explanation on their website and this is fascinating. I’d love to hear one. I wonder if the wave map technology could be used to build IR’s for acoustic instruments.
Unfortunately...

It kind of sounds like he just wanted to sell you an amp if that is what he implied. A Mandolin is an acoustic instrument. Any pickups or mics we use are in an attempt to get as close as possible...

I thought this wireless was very easy to use and had great life on the rechargaeable battery. I did have issues with dropouts but only when I went to walk the room. There was other WiFi in the...

So THAT'S who got the username I wanted. I'm betting you are likewise a Dan with a "G" last name. I have 2 jackets from different hospitals I worked at where my name reads "DanG!" and I always...

It really was a quality unit. I think it will serve you well. It's one of the few pieces of gear I didn't sell off when I bought a Helix. I happen to know wher eyou can buy a LR Baggs Acoustic...

The venue doesn't really have presets. I used one heavily for a long time and my method was:

1 - Set it flat
2 - adjust notch and phase to kill feedback
3 - EQ to taste for the room/instrument...

Here's my everything gig rig. If there is a PA with sufficient AUX I only bring the top rack which is wireless, Helix, and Wireless IEM. Everything else is optional. If they need me to have an amp...

Thanks for all the input. I’m not particularly bothered by the drop off area now that i have seen all the responses. It was just affecting how I perceived the rest of the necks curvature. I did...

Also, when you say dropping off, are you talking about the section past the neck joint? If so that doesn't really bother me because I don't really think I'll be playing up there any time in the...

"A lot of mandolins with elevated fingerboards start dropping off like yours with age, I have two that have the same thing."

When you say with age, what kind of timeframe are we talking? It's a...

"If it's pitching downward from the neck joint to the bridge, this may be fine if you don't fret up there. A little relief can be okay. I think I would check the truss rod/neck adjustment. I would...

as an added note, the ruler definitely rocks back and forth across hte neck joint fret.

That’s what was bothering me but then i was wondering if any relief in the neck occurs in the section between the headstock and the body meaning this is normal.
Here are a few photos from the side...

Is this a normal amount of curvature, is it in need of a truss rod adjustment, or is this some deeper issue?

About 6 months ago I purchased a Line6 Helix (after years of skepticism about digital modelling and especially Line6). I think that the technology is finally good enough to make them a good...

I had considered trying radius on a resonator Banjo. I now have a spare Radius from my old Fender as I just received my new mandolin with a radius preinstalled from Robert at FolkMusician.com.

Sorry about that Jim. I understand now. I revived a half year old thread last night because I finally got the replacement and need to decide what to do with this now. I DID buy the Grovers as they...

I'm not planning on buying upgrades. I'm planning on pulling upgrades off and selling them.

I will probably do as Belbein suggested and use it as a learning opportunity. I've been wanting to...

Sorry. I left out the top photo.

I bought something better. I was looking for a fair price to expect to pay for a neck reset so I can decide for myself what to do with the old one (which is still quite playable and has been serving...

I'm wondering if I should start a new thread as this is very old, but here seems to be the beat place. I just got my new KM-1500 in and am trying to decide what to do with this Fender now.

How...

I took delivery of my KM-1500 Friday Feb 7th. I'm not sure if it is considered a 2013 or a 2014 but I waited all month for Saga to get some in. Robert at folkmusician.com Shipped...

Regarding power supply, forget the onespot. Spend the money on a voodoolab pedal power series. I use the 2plus abd it is rock solid. It even included a plug that terminated in a 9v snap that would...

How would you compare the tone of the 815v with the tone of the km1000? To me the 515 was a much tighter focused sound which had its own appeal to me, while the km1000 was very rich in harmonic...

I have tried the Loars several times at several shops based on the feedback they get on these forums. The best one I was able to play (I think it was a 600, I never could find a 700) was a marginal...
