[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1360398959' post='1969725'] Will do! [/quote] Thanks, let me know what happens.

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1360357777' post='1969441'] Shall I ask if they can put you a custom set together at the same time? [/quote] Yes, please, that would be good.

That sounds on the long side. The 760N-XL is only 37.75" and silk is close to the tuner.

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1360355558' post='1969375'] Would a string the same length as the ones I need do for you? If so, I could ask them to run off an extra E string and package up a third set (with the other three at regular length) for you? [/quote] Hang on, I'll have to measure it. Where is the 38.75" measurement? Is it silk to silk? Ball-end to silk?

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1360355195' post='1969363'] What length do you need? My Veillette sets will be 38.75" long. [/quote] A-D-G are standard long scale but the E string needs the extra long version which, even for the 760N black ones, are difficult to find in Europe. I got them direct from La Bella last time.

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='1360275516' post='1968096'] Here's one of the vids, you'll be able to access the rest from here I reckon: [media]http://youtu.be/owm1OVzC7o4[/media] [/quote] This video is private.

[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.
