Creatures 1st Any Spare Change Rally 2007

[toad]

thems the lasses that had a good write up in one of the mags awhile back!

[creature]

Stevies just passed this info onto me..............(hes offerering one of his Mandos for Raffle prize)

OK. It's a Crafter Mandolin, I exchanged an Aria fretless bass (to my eternal regret) for it in 2000 as I needed another mando to take on tour with Cactus Jack as my favored Harmony mando needed some repairs. Here's some general info on the model:



Crafter
M70E - Blue Burst

This is an excellent ‘on-stage’ mandolin, designed and built by one of Koreas finest manufacturers. It is one of our most popular electro acoustic models available in a range of attractive colours.
The body shape resembles a ‘mini’ guitar. It is fitted with a two-band passive EQ system. You will find other look-alikes but …this is the original, and the best.
The Body Assembly… The bowl back and sides are High-Tec fiberglass. The body has a cutaway for easier access to the higher fret positions. The two-band PR-40 slide EQ control box is fitted to the topside of the body. The tiger maple soundboard is finished in a high gloss sunburst finish. (Several attractive colours are available) The hardwood mahogany bridge is designed to accept ball end strings (I've probably got a couple of packs layin' around - Stevie). White plastic binding protects the front of the instrument.

The Neck Assembly… The profile of the hardwood neck is very comfortable to play …not too narrow! it is fitted with a rosewood fingerboard, nickel silver frets and pearl dot markers. The headstock is the classic ‘Crafter’ style and is fitted with gold finish oval machine heads with pearl buttons.

Scale length: 351mm (13.812”)
Width at nut: 28.57mm (1.125”)
Weight Approx: 1.356kg (2.99lbs)


OK, so there it is. There is some slight damage to the front of the mando from where it was dropped a couple of days into the tour. It hasn't altered the sound at all an' is only cosmetic .... hey, at least you know I've used it. The photo that Creature first posted was taken at the Rattlesnake Saloon in Munich whilst on that first tour with Cactus Jack. I've used it as a back up whilst doin' solo gigs since. So when it comes to it, get your hands in your pockets an' buy loads of tickets. Ya never know, you may win somethin' good .... an' if ya don't, well, there's always my old mandolin
