So I recently got my used Mandobird VIII up to speed, but after trying it out I didn't make the transition from acoustic to electric as easily as expected - it's really a different beast compared to an acoustic mando.
Now, it's worth noting that I got it primarily to play in my celtic-punk band. I've used an acoustic w/ piezo for a while, but constant feedback and/or low volume has been getting to me. So I figured, a solid-body should take care of that.
Any suggestions to make the transition easier? I don't really need/want it to sound like a second electric guitar. That said, if there are any special, unique things an e-mando can do that's neither 'mando' nor 'guitar', I'd also like to know.
Also in this regard, are there any e-mandolinists I should definitely, absolutely listen to?
Thanks!
