  • Gear Corner | Bluegrassbasics

    Gear Corner Mandolin - Ibanez M510-BS - Sharon is hoping to pass this along to someone who will give it a good home and some playing time! Although not pictured, she does have the tailpiece cover that was taken off to facilitate string changes. Resonator Guitar - Flinthill Square Neck - Here's Tito's description: For sale is a Flinthill square neck Resonator Guitar that was modified by Paul Beard. Before selling these guitars, Paul would remove the factory resonator cone, bone nut, pick up and spider bridge and replace them with the better quality parts he used in his guitars. When I was taking lessons from Mike Auldridge, he played this guitar and even he was pleased with the way it sounded. This guitar is in excellent condition having spent most of its life on a stand, the only flaw is at the base of the neck where a small section of the body has a small crack. This does not affect the guitar and has been that way as long as I have owned the guitar (24 years). What's included with the guitar: 1. TKL Guitar case 2. Sabine AX2000 contact tuner (attached to guitar body) 3. Fender Auto Chromatic LX-12 Tuner 4. 3 sets of D'Addario EJ42 Phosphorus Bronze guitar strings 5. Guitar string pro-winder and clipper 6. Dunlop 925 tone bar 7. 3 Golden Gate thumb picks & 4 ProPik finger picks 8. Guitar neck cleaner brush 9. Guitar polishing cloth 10. Rosin 11. Teach yourself Dobro book 12. Guitar shoulder strap 13. Ultra Guitar stand Everything needed to play is included, the only thing not included is your time to play it!I live in Olney and I can bring it to the Bluegrass Jam if you would like to see or play it. Banjo - Gretsch G9400 Broadkaster Deluxe - The Gretsch G9400 Broadkaster Deluxe is a 5-string resonator banjo with a flathead tone ring - a bluegrass banjo. The action is low and the head is tight for a traditional bluegrass sound. Tuning knobs have been replaced with ebony to match the black finish scheme on the back of the neck. Unique inlay on the back of the resonator. Very, very slight fret-wear and head-wear from resting fingers. Finish chip on the peghead. Comes with a ProTec banjo case.

  • Guitar Capos | Bluegrassbasics

    Guitar Capos Kyser Quick Change Classical Guitar Capo - This is a "trigger" style capo with no radius to the pad. It can be used any instrument that has a flat fingerboard. The major drawback to this capo is that the tension is not adjustable. This means that there is often a lot of re-tuning needed when using this style capo. One-handed operation is possible with this style capo. It can be clipped to the headstock when not in use. D'Addario TriAction Capo Black - Another "trigger" style capo but this one has an adjustable thumb wheel on the spring. The wheel lets you only use as much tension as is needed and reduces the need to re-tune when using it. The bulk of this capo "hides" behind the neck and is not very apparent to the audience. One-handed operation is possible with this style capo. It can be clipped to the headstock when not in use. D'Addario TriAction Capo Silver - Same as #2 but in a matte silver finish. G7th UltraLight Capo - This capo is barely there! It has hardly any profile to it, it has adjustable tension, and it is CHEAP! It requires both hands to adjust it on the guitar. The only thing it's lacking is the ability to store it on the instrument when not in use. Paige Original 6-String Acoustic Capo - The "yoke" style capo is popular with bluegrass musicians and this is the most affordable version out there. The tension screw means it is self-centering and there are no bulky springs on it. When not in use, it can sometimes be stored behind the guitar's nut. If the guitar has a thicker headstock (like on a slotted peghead), it might not fit over the nut. In that case, a different style of capo would be best. It also requires 2 hands to operate effectively. G7th Heritage Capo - This is the fancy version of the "yoke" style capo. The finish is very refined - sometimes described like jewelry. It boasts G7th's ART (adaptive radius technology) which adjusts the pad to a wide variety of guitar radii. This is a very expensive capo. G7th Performance 3 Black - This style uses a unique internal ratchet. It is squeezed into place and hold that tension. It also utilizes G7th's ART and can be stored on the headstock. One-handed operation is possible, but some users may need to squeeze with both hands. G7th Performance Silver - The original version of the G7th Performance. The ratcheting system was reversed in versions 2 & 3. *Not Pictured - Shubb C1 - This is a very popular and reliable "lever" style capo. It requires two-handed operation and usually isn't stored on the guitar.

  • Bass | Bluegrassbasics

    < Back Bass The upright bass is a very valuable instrument to the bluegrass ensemble but it can be somewhat misunderstood at times. While the electric bass guitar has been used in some bluegrass groups, the upright - or double bass is what's typical of the genre. Like other orchestral stringed instruments, basses come in fractional sizes. Unlike the violin counter parts, in the United States a "full-sized" bass is actually a 3/4 size bass. It is extremely rare to encounter even a 7/8 bass. In bluegrass music, the bass is traditionally played without a bow - by plucking the strings with bare fingers. It is well worth investing a little bit of money into having it set up by a professional as many of the more affordable options are shipped in less that ideal playing condition. Palatino VB-004 3/4 Size Upright Bass - This bass is made out of spruce and maple plywoods with ebony fittings. This is a great option for jam sessions where an instrument of this size is bound to take some bumps. The outline of this bass is gamba shape, rather than a violin shape. Again, the lack of delicate corners is helpful in crowded company. Previous Next

  • Tuners | Bluegrassbasics

    Instrument Tuners Being in tune with everyone else in the jam session is of the utmost importance! Checking your tuning often is essential as environmental changes like heat and humidity can change your tuning over the course of a jam session as well as putting on and taking off a capo. There are a wide variety of tuners available. As a multi-instrumentalist, the D'Addario Micro Tuners are appealing because they are small and discreet while providing a consistent tuning experience across instruments. They also tune using the vibrations of the instrument so a noisey jam session doesn't interfere with tuning. D'Addario Micro Guitar Tuner - For attaching to the headstock of various instruments - not just guitar. D'Addario Micro Soundhole Tuner - For attaching inside the soundhole of most guitars. D'Addario Micro Banjo Tuner - For attaching under the brackets of the banjo pot. D'Addario Violin/Viola Micro Tuner - For attaching to the body of a fiddle. D'Addario Eclipse Tuner - Great for multi-angles, especially on a dobro. Snark Super Tight Tuner - Another great option for a variety of instruments.
