groan.

actually, my wife not being a fan of bluegrass or mando would prefer my mandolins be reduced to firewood.

Sweet nice Mando! Let us know how it cuts thru in the mix?

jeff, it worked great at a winery doing the duo gig. (easy enough.....smaller place w a quieter, and mostly polite crowd). man, did it sound good thru the PA! exactly like a good sounding acoustic... only louder.

real test will be tonight at the truckstop. i'll be bringing along my solid body mando as backup just in case i can't get the necessary volume w the Rigel to hang w the band.

Cool keep us posted. Being trained classically on violin and the fact I am from Texas once I started becoming proficant on violin fiddle music came very naturally to me. By the 8th grade it was amazing what young kids are able to do. By the 10th I started to become bored and had an eye toward Rock guitar. I was at a friends house his dad was in a country band and they had an old Gibson mando laying around. I picked that thing up and from day one it came as naturally to me as fiddle music! Though I haven't played one in 20 years I still have a great respect for mando player especially in bluegrass music!

damn, jeff ya oughta get yourself one of those cheap solid body Epiphone Mandobirds i was telling scott about. w your chops i bet you'd KILL on that thing. and think how that would blow people's minds when ya pulled it out on a gig, plugged it into your rig, and wailed!
