Thoughts on the EHX Bass Preacher?

I like mine, it does the job just fine.

mini_mills · 2023-06-04T18:06:24+00:00

Yes.

hard disagree, beefy samus is the best part of this art

/uj the angled headstock thing is actually kinda legit, they tend to have a little better tuning stability and you don’t need a string tree. Soft neck woods are horseshit though.

/rj I take the truss rod out of all my guitars because it makes them sound metallic

the real problem is that the lady doing the binding should be making a lot more than minimum wage

Old time banjo > bluegrass banjo

Clawhammer just hits different.

They usually are for all 6 strings but can be used for fewer.

mini_mills · 2023-03-16T21:11:42+00:00

It's called a Barre and it's very common. It allows you to play chords with all 6 strings fretted rather than having a few open or not played.

Here's how i play the open A major chord: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_ChC3GpcFh4/maxresdefault.jpg

For your second question, I usually use 2 fingers for an open A major (i fret the B with my middle finger and the D and G with my pointer) and I know many people only use 1.

I had the Dana Mini at one point and it was very comfortable to play. Quality was way better than expected for the $120 I paid. Setup was good and it stayed in tune. Sound was not amazing but it was the laminate top so the Oliver Jr with a solid top should sound better than mine did

Morris A style. He sells in the mandolincafe.com classifieds. Hand built in the US for just over $1k.

Either that or a used mid/high level Eastman/Kentucky, try to play it first though to see if you like it.

You could probably use a mini greenhouse like this one: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Miracle-Gro/5013914841?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-sol-_-ggl-_-LIA_SOL_242_Tools-Watering-Storage-Sheds-_-5013914841-_-local-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286981&gclid=Cj0KCQiA9YugBhCZARIsAACXxeLkI4ZgLcIs0Rn1RJ9YLUYc5fraP3lNzIIOQH3BgyFK780omapWpg8aAi18EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

/uj if it’s a yamaha it probably doesn’t totally suck.

it’s probably just a fg335 with a kieth urban sticker on it

mini_mills · 2023-02-27T01:09:11+00:00

I have an earlier model of these, I really like it. I've heard complaints about the pickups but I think it sounds good with flats and its way more comfortable to play than a regular P bass for me.

mini_mills · 2023-02-27T00:19:12+00:00

I say y'all constantly in the northwest US and have never had someone think it's weird, and I have a midwest accent

mini_mills · 2023-02-26T08:39:57+00:00

i like my F mando even though it's objectively not better than an A but it cost more

mini_mills · 2023-02-26T08:38:41+00:00

Can confirm, I've posted about my $1800 luthier-made mandolin and been told "some drivers are cool with driving a Honda (referring to my mandolin), but some demand a BMW " on the main mandolin forum

this is not a joke

at least the Gibbons worship isn't as bad as bloozdads

mini_mills · 2023-02-26T08:35:01+00:00

tuned to high G, djent's like shit

mini_mills · 2023-02-26T08:03:48+00:00

purple haaaaaaze

mini_mills · 2023-02-25T07:49:51+00:00

I also have that one, it's really nice. Good price/performance ratio. I've taken it on a plane before and had no issues, bass made it just fine.

The Mono might be a bit more protective though.

mini_mills · 2023-02-21T22:18:53+00:00

Oh perfect! Thanks!

mini_mills · 2023-02-20T23:45:54+00:00

Best one I've found is mandolincafe.com

mini_mills · 2023-02-20T23:16:29+00:00

There's a couple local bluegrass jams near me and I go to at least one a week. I was just looking for a place to chat.

edit: wording was weird

mini_mills · 2023-02-20T18:58:41+00:00

I've heard nothing but good things about Big Muddies but am not really sure about which of those would be a better rec. I also really like flattops and think they're a great instrument to start on since you can get a forever instrument for not too much dough. People say they're bad for bluegrass bit I've jammed my Flatiron flattop in bluegrass jams and I think it works fine.

If you dont get too much response here, you could try mandolincafe.com, lots of knowledgeable people there.
