Great job, you should be very proud of your mandolin playing. I'm 12 and am looking into buying a mando-bird mandolin. I've started out playing a Johnson 8-string A-model mandolin. I was wondering if you could make a vid. of you playing this mandolin without an amp, just to see the comparison between an acoustic mando rather than an electric one... thanks, and great job!
The MandoBird is a solid body instrument much like an electric guitar. The instrument requires an amplifier to be heard unlike the hollow body acoustic "A" style mando you are playing now. I bought it to play in church on the Christian country songs we perform. It was easier to plug it into an amp rather than mic my "F" style acoustic mandolin.
Exactly what effects did you throw on that little gem ? Kinda like the tones you're gettin. I'm running my Jonathan Mann 4 string elec mando thru a Dunlop MR Crybaby Wah, Danelectro PBJ delay (mediocre delay BTW) Bad Monkey distortion then a small 25 watt Fender Frontman. Keep workin it !!!
I'm hoping for one of these things off Santa, sounds great.
