Hey ya’ll! I subbed in for a bar bad yesterday (and they did a damn good job playing whiskey before breakfast for the first time. Haha) I mostly play acoustically/with a mic and I am noticing that my brain gets really distracted by the live mandolin tone. I have the K&K pickup up. I use an LR baggs DI and the whole thing and I feel like it’s equalized okay, it just still has that really bright and intense tone that I am not a huge fan of. Any recommendations?

Difficult conversations are hard. Here are some tips.

I haven’t played contest style in almost two decades, but I had fun.

I don’t make the rules, I just observe them.

This was a wild wild gig. Haha

Many things may change, but fiddle remains.

An old banjo of mine that’s been living in the closet finally got some new nygut strings, some fret-dots, and a second hand never been used case!

One of my first finger style arrangements from a few years ago.

It shouldn’t work as well as it does!

If it’s not Data playing the violin, I don’t want it.
