Re: Mando Acquisition Syndrome and the Mandocello
This website spreads MAS, so if you have any doubts whether you will get it, keep coming back. :-)
I for one just went through a bought of electric MAS, I now own an e-mando, e-mandola, and e-OM is on order.
I don't like long-scale instruments, the bigger the scale the slower and more painfully I play. I have to switch to one-finger-per-fret (like guitar players) at around 20" scale for 1st position. The OM is an experiment to restring an 18" scale mandola as an OM. I know I can play all over an 18" scale since I have the mandola already and really like it.
My next MAS thing is I am thinking about commissioning a custom ~18" scale GBOM, not sure anyone is willing to build that though.
Davey Stuart tenor guitar (based on his 18" mandola design).
Eastman MD-604SB with Grover 309 tuners.
Eastwood 4 string electric mandostang, 2x Airline e-mandola (4-string) one strung as an e-OM.
DSP's: Helix HX Stomp, various Zooms.
Amps: THR-10, Sony XB-20.
