    Re: Bringing a Mandolin on a long trip

    I have 2 little kids and their myriad of crap/car seats/diapers/etc and still just carry with me. I just got a very low profile case so I am hoping to get a carry on bag that is big enough to hold my...
  2. Amazing live Mandolin Orange/Watchhouse recording

    I spent some time in the Archive.org rabbit hole listening to some live recordings and found this Gem from Prescott Park in 2016. The source is from the soundboard and the sound quality and playing...
  3. Re: Article: Crossrock Announces Two New Carbon Fiber Mandolin Ca

    I’d love to see this A/Bed with a Tura. I have a Tura and like it very much. Only improvement for me would be more secure latches which this appears to have.
  4. Re: Wanting a better treble out of my Collings Mandolin

    I would say DON'T pick closer to the bridge. That is typically going to give a harsher/ more brittle/staccato tone, atleast with an F-hole mandolin. To get a warmer/fatter/more smooth sound I'd try...

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    I'm actually tempted to add the pickup system. I have some quality preamps and nice mandolins with pickups in them so it wouldn't be my first choice, but nice to have the option and I do think it...

    Re: How to combat memorization tendencies?

    This is pretty typical for where you are at experience wise. It will come in time. Make sure you know the chords well to the song, of course. If you want to practice, get an app like Strum Machine...

    Re: Tyler Grant

    He seems to post the setlists in advance on social media (FB/Instagram). I imagine you can contact him through those sites or through his website if you want to get in touch with him. I think in the...

    While I don’t know if this is considered a traditional version, I quite like it

  10. Re: Best way to test preamp sounds at home?

    So, I ran the Tone Dexter and Grace Bix through my Scarlett Interface and played around with 2 different mandolins with K and Ks. In my opinion the Tone Dexter has a much more natural sound than the...

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    I originally ordered it with the Carbon timber, then I went back to the basic. Now I just upgraded again. I did feel like I noticed a little difference in the video of the tone. I also think it does...
  12. Re: Best way to test preamp sounds at home?

    Thanks for the tips everyone! I do have a scarlet interface so will try running them through the scarlett to Garage band to hear what that signal sounds like.
  13. Re: Best way to test preamp sounds at home?

    Thanks. I guess I just need to stop being lazy and plug in my PA to test these out.
  14. Re: Best way to test preamp sounds at home?

    Everyone else seemed to understand my question just fine. You can save your rude responses for someone else. I am not talking about contact mics or SM57s or I would have asked about microphones. If...
  15. Best way to test preamp sounds at home?

    Hey,

    I have a few preamps. I test them at home sometimes by plugging them into the Fishman Loudbox Acoustic Amp. I suppose I could plug them into my PA speakers. When we gig, which is not all that...

    I learned the Monroe version from Chis Henry. Good visualization of fingering here:

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    The risk is really only in the cost of shipping as they have a 30 day return policy.

    This is the cutting edge of sales these days. When someone orders something you send them the more expensive item “by mistake”.

    Re: Monster sound on this mando

    Yes Jarrod Walker is a hoss of a picker. Billy’s band is playing the biggest venues for a bluegrass band out there (ever?). I think much of the kudos goes to their sound man for helping bring quality...

    Clinch Mountain Backstep is a great modal standard with lots of blue notes.
  22. Re: Jam Etiquette / Rules Question - Should songs be banned

    I agree that it is cool to hate on Wagon Wheel. I would never call it, but I don’t think it should be banned. When I was at Telluride in 2015 there were the no wagon wheel stickers and signs posted....
