I propose we ditch the "blues name" BS and we all take on gang names. I'll go first. From now on please refer to me only as "T-Dog"
Dave ... ooops, I mean ... T-Dog |

Your thumb is out... which is, "I Love You", in American Sign Language. |

Silly me, I always thought that was a sign for satan...

I bought mine in '05 for $955 delivered. I lucked out. It was a new model with OP50/XLR. The owner of a music store ordered it as a unique gift for his mandolin playing attorney. The gift was appreciated, but would not have been played, which is how I became its caretaker.
We asked Adirondack at the time for a price and they wrote back, $1430 w/case (on order).
Rarely, they come up used on ebay (or at one of the specialty shops) in the $800-$1000 range.
Can you control your Mando-Gas long enough until one shows up again? |

| I'm sure I can - and I was only joshing about "the other stuff".
What you say chimes with the others - the one on the bay now at $2400 just didn't seem right at all.
I'd buy a new one but it's a long wait - so I'll wait twice as long for a used one. I'm stupid that way.
Guess I'll just have to play my 13 course lute 'til a measly little 8 stringer turns up :eek: :D |

Or was that comically in-tune? |
