To comment on the reddit feed... Not all sound engineers are music sound engineers. Or another way, there are multi disciplines of sound engineering. I couldn't engineer a tv studio sound with multiple lapel mics, but I can mix and record a band. It's not easy to swap. Yes, they should use engineers who can mix music, but just because it's the BBC doesn't mean they have enough avaliable. Mrs B is fed up with me complaining about the sound on tv from Glastonbury. A tale from a long time ago. Back in the early 80s, I did the sound for a Bristol band that got a slot on Pebble Mill at One. I sat in the control room while it was being recorded and the chief engineer said "ooh I like this" and mixed the whole thing on the studio Tanoys. Not even checking on a small tv speaker. Which i found odd at the time. When we came to listen back in the Green room on the tv, the sound was terrible. Really tinny and weak. I know i can't tar every BBC engineer with the same brush (I've sat in on Radio 1 recordings at Maida Vale studios, which were fine), but I've never completely trusted tv engineers to mix bands.

Labella Olinto are purple with a white stripe

Hi, Labella only do 2 strings with purple silks, the low tension flats are like this

Sorry , my bad . The Burns has LaBella LTFs , the 760FX are on the Yamaha . They have snot green silks .

The reason I got my first BDDi was to warm up my MB LM3 years ago. took me a while to get used to it but ive pretty much used a BDDI ever since, and I play a lot of varied music. I can see how the Laney would work well with MB, and I may one day try another, but im hoping to go amp less asap, and the BDDI gives me a bit more character.

Labella 760FX . Got em on My Burns Bison and just had a look .

Easy deal with Jimmy who bought my Mustang bass. And clearly a man of taste as he kept the white pick guard 😁

Can anyone help please ? Recently acquired a bass with flats on, the silks are purple/mauve. I’m pretty sure they’re La Bella but which ones I know not !! Theyre great to play, not too much tension with a nice thump. I would like to buy some more but unsure what they are… Any help would be much appreciated Cheers.

Super easy deal with Joel bought some IEMs. Royal mail let the side down, of course, but alls well that ends well 😁

My Fender custom shop bass was actually a Kubicki. I had 2 Kubick's, one made by Kubicki, the other (for some reason) made by the Fender custom shop. The only difference was the Fender had a nicer neck (for me). A tad slimmer and faster.

Indeed! And the only time I've enjoyed Country and Western is when Hank W. did it.

When people start discussing any music with 'core' at the end of its name, expect fireworks...

He was, genuinely, a gynaecologist.

This has been taken

I bought some wireless IEMs from Paul - good price, fabulous item (exacty as described), quick postage and great communications throughout. Deal with complete and total confidence!

I like them, they scream a decade more than any other bass imo, even more so than the original Precision basses.
