Big Weber fan, and am very much enjoying my recent Oval Bitteroot F. This being said, the Weber family appears to be heavily involved in this merger, with Bruce Jr going to Bend, Bruce himself...
Take a look at my avatar, that'll tell which Del McCoury album I enjoy. Moneyland is my favorite though.
I have traded in on other instruments with two dealers; TMS and Mando Mutt and would do it again. Its true you're going to get less then if you sell it outright. In those cases that I dealt with...
Just installed the Brekke Armrest/Tailpiece Combo

Couple of notes (no pun intended)
Kyle Dunn was a great resource as during the...
Congrats Bob;
Looks great. TMS does a good job of answering questions, I've worked both Dennis and Brian....they know their stuff.
Really Glad to see that Gibson is coming back, after that...
Okay, so TMS has two mando's that would qualify to the OP. A used wide nut Lafferty F syle and a Breedlove F Style, also wide nut I believe. Both look like very good deals. Kyle Dunns Mando Shop...
I have a Weber Bitteroot Oval F Style on order currently. Satin Finish and Red Spruce top with upgraded Maple sides and back, wide nut width.
I have had a few other high end Mando's but always...
The Ultrasound Pre will match the output impedance of the K and K as well.......something to think about
Bruce;
Duly noted. I have had good experiences with him too. I realize that Lafferty's are American built with recent models at a low price point coming from PACRIM.
I think everyone would...
No one is suggesting Dennis is not "being a straight shooter", sorry you couldn't see that. I've dealt with him and his son numerous times, and gotten good deals.
As I mentioned, If I had...
I thought the Lafferty's were China built mandos ? Thats not a bad thing, I have a Loar thats pretty dadgum good mando
If I had $2000, I'd go after the Weber SE.......great mando for the price,...
Both shops are a treat.......
Based on what I have seen, heard and felt since I made the change....yes I notice the effect of the CA bridge on tone and playability.......
Better materials and manufacture with the CA bridge I...
I have a Loar 600 to play out with. It has a K and K twin p/u.....and plays and sounds pretty good. The only change I made was to add a CA bridge....which made a huge difference in the sound...
There is a Weber SE for sale in the classifieds (not affiliated with seller)
I'm biased and squarely in the Weber camp, currently working on my fourth a custom build (an Oval Hole Bitterroot F...
Cant really go wrong with either model. The SE is essentially a Bitterroot without binding. Both great values. THe wide nut helps if you are coming over from the guitar world. Good luck, Weber...
As a former Weber SE owner, I would recommend the model to any one. Fair price, good build, very good sound. If you are coming over to the mando from guitar, you may consider the wider nut spacing...
Neil, we do that song anyways, knowing its from Scotland's own Proclaimers;
North Carolina has a heavy Scottish influence, since so many came here in the 17th and 18th century.....I'm Huntley,...
I half kiddingly suggested doing Dark Side of Moon with Banjo, guitar and Mando....they of course shot that down.......
I would like to do a few sing along tunes
Hello MC World
We got hired out to play on the 17th of March, looking for just a few suggestions for tunes besides "Galway Girl" (Know that one already) that we could pepper throughout the set.
...
Outstanding very intimate version there !!!
I have had very good luck with the Mando Store and Acoustic Vibes on line. I have dealt personally with Mando Mutt, but I live in NC. All dealings were very good. Would deal with each of all...
Got my BRW F from him this past Spring. Good Man, always has some good in inventory. Very cool house, two great dogs.
