Looking for advice
Hello Everyone,
I'm looking for some advice
1) I am looking for a slight upgrade from my current mandolin (Stagg m50E) which i have owned for a few years. I want to be able to "substitute" into a guitar position if required in my band(by playing chords) and I want to be able to still pick out tunes when required. My understanding is that the Bouzouki is great for chords but not necessarily picking tunes. Is Octave Mandolin the way to go?
2)I only have a budget of around £300. I have seen this (https://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_oc...in_m1087_p.htm) and was wondering what people thought of it. I would plan on taking it to a luthier to see their opinion on it and have it properly set up replace tailpiece etc. It has an active pick up which i might upgrade as well. The reviews seem largely favorable, with a few mentioning having to file the frets etc.
Any opinions would be well appreciated
Many thanks
