Hello and greetings all you grassers. I am in the market for an acoustic around $500 USD and need some help coming to a conclusion. I really like the look of the Martin X Series, but the fact they're made with HPL makes me more hesitant to go with one. At that price, I could get an all solid Recording King, Sire A4, or used Epiphone Masterbilt. Is all solid always a better choice, or am I overthinking all this? Is there any other guitars around that price that I should consider? Thanks in advance, I will strum a crispy G chord in commemoration of all who answer submitted by /u/YukatanSuckama ..read more

Howdy all, not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but here goes. (Disclaimer: im not a sound guy, I just play) I'm currently in the works of creating a bluegrass band, I'm on guitar, my cousin on bass and a family friend on mando and hopefully a banjo player soon. The gear for guitar and mando are (for the most part) worked out. Currently, for bass I have a 52' Kay C-1 with a basic piezo pickup (KNA BD-1) and its ok-ish, but whenever he throws slapping in it really distorts the sound with the piezo quack. Thinking of adding a fishman platinum pro as a preamp, but I'm not sure if I s ..read more

Hi everyone, peaches in the summertime, apples in the fall. I am making a microblogging app for bluegrass music fans. It will be same as any other app where users post stuff but only for bluegrass (and maybe other country music). You can follow other bluegrass creators. Seems like a cool idea? Will people join it ? Suggestions welcomed. (I heard shady grove by doc watson and fell in love with bluegrass). submitted by /u/Key-Court-6501 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Per the Toy Heart Podcast. If anyone knows what this means, I’d love to hear it. It seems to imply we’re losing a member. Unless this is to say Adam Steffey is back, I don’t want to hear it. submitted by /u/dantyminski [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
