I’ve been playing a Kentucky km-150 for a bit now. It’s been great. It’s loud, it has a nice “bark”, I enjoy the sound of my chops on it, etc. I saw an ad for a loar lm-600. I read a lot about how people liked them and the price was really good so I said to hell with it, let’s get it. I HATE IT. It feels heavier than my Kentucky, it sounds kinda quiet and I feel like it’s just got this dry boring almost tinny tone. Is this how these just are? It’s had a setup and it’s comfortable to play but aside from that I’m scared to invest into a new bridge and waste money if it does nothing for the mando. Does anybody think a bridge can do THAT MUCH for a situation like this? Do I need to just cut my losses and put it back out into the wild? I’m trying to convince myself that it’s ok and maybe it needs to “open up” 😂 or maybe it’s a good tone and just something I’m not used to. Maybe my expectations of it sounding like a better version of my Kentucky have skewed my thoughts?
