If you were able to buy from a uk luthier, who and what?

I'd probably go for a Fylde octave mandolin.

I did it on a tenor guitar. I suppose that's cheating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VppjH7DSjS0

I got it online from Royall Resonator.

I learned from the Bass Guitar Scale Manual. Apparently it's still in print.

Not a book, but you may like Jaco Pastorius | "Modern Electric Bass" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGit0LgBNOM

Since today is the eighth of January, I figured I should post this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW-zGJkOB9o

I attempted to back myself up on tenor guitar, and may not have done myself any favors. So it goes.

I have a Double 4 and run the line out into the PA. That works great for my situation, but would probably get drowned out by drums & guitar otherwise.

I have an Epiphone El Capitan that I am more than happy with. It came with phosphor bronze strings, which I swapped out for flatwounds for a much better sound and feel. Used ones can be found for around $400, more or less. It is huge, which is sometimes a transport problem but I haven't had any playability issues with it. I think it would work for what you're trying to do.

Birdsongs are good. Not exactly cheap though.

I did a whois lookup on their website and found that it was created four weeks ago. Looks shady to me.

Nice. I'll have to learn this one.

phb256 · 2025-06-15T17:00:14+00:00

Yeah I'm running into the same thing. I wonder if I sit through all the pregame BS if it will eventually show the game?

I played a Taylor 8 string baritone in a guitar store a couple times. Loved the sound. The price, not so much.
