OK, let us know how they are. I might try them on my Takamine B10 which also needs order direct from La Bella.

Try this one; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n03g8nsaBro

Are they coming to you direct from La Bella?

I had a Precision with a double J humbucker at the bridge. I sold it because I was only ever using the P pickup.

Very nicely done Nige.

If I like something I like it, and I'll explain why to anyone who is interested. I don't understand why anyone would feel guilty or embarrassed about such a thing.

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' timestamp='1360275192' post='1968085'] Just search on YouTube using Musselerran [/quote] They are all private now, you need a login.

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1360274813' post='1968073'] There's nowt there! [/quote] They were there 20 minutes ago, he must have deleted them in case we were accidentally entertained.

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1360274221' post='1968053'] How do you pronounce either? [/quote] Pronounce it however you like, on Basschat no one can hear you anyway.

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1360273301' post='1968025'] Where can i here this Antiloco's music? [/quote] There's a Youtube link in his signature.

Why not use a PA cab with it's own pole? I've seen people do this and I'm sure people here have done it for upright bass at least.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1360269892' post='1967927'] good post Mcnach. this thread did make me miss the big beef chief just a little. [/quote] The BBC versus Antiloco would sell a lot of tickets I think.

[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1360269702' post='1967922'] One reason not to....'Stranger on the Shore' OK-2....Acker Bilk [/quote] I have to admit to quite liking old Acker. But I was really imagining myself as Sidney Bechet.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1360262047' post='1967746'] I never figured out how to pronounce silddx. I'm doubly confused now. [/quote] It can be pronounced it 'Nigel'.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1360261652' post='1967736'] Personally I think this is one of the most expressive recordings I've ever heard: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzSinO6l1Go[/media] Hope you like it Steve. [/quote] I love that one. Exquisite tone.

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1360261403' post='1967726'] Alice Coltrane? I suppose she might! [/quote] Robbie Coltrane might know too.

Is xilddx pronounced the same as silddx?

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1360257980' post='1967621'] is that from art or entertainment? [/quote] 'Go ask Alice, I think she'll know.'

[quote name='Antiloco' timestamp='1360220659' post='1966780'] ...You need to learn the real meaning of words... [/quote] "I don't know what you mean by 'glory,' " Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't—till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!' " "But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument'," Alice objected. "When [i]I[/i] use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you [i]can[/i] make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master[s] [/s]that's all."

[quote name='Antiloco' timestamp='1360256925' post='1967578'] You clearly don't know the meaning of the word "shallow". But I guess you folks are willing to do anything in order to show politeness, even misunderstanding simple words. [/quote] Shallow, in this context, means lacking in any depth of understanding. That's exactly what I meant. You appear not to know the meaning of words like 'music', 'art', and 'entertainment'.

[quote name='Antiloco' timestamp='1360217997' post='1966768'] That's a pretty shallow statement but hey, whatever makes you happy. [/quote] You are extremely shallow and I was extremely entertained by Coltrane.
