Yes Ken, I must confess to being a little confused too. I think they must be using American humour like we get on Television.:confused:

Rabbath endpin.

Has anyone here used a Rabbath endpin? I've seen them and thought about them quite a bit. I'm thinking (only thinking) about getting one some time. I saw a video of Rufus Reid and he had one.

Buongiorno, il mio nuova amico.

Should I say 'nuovo'?
Ciao.

Shane, did you find out about those Corelli strings? I had a friend who tried them and they're lighter than Spirocore Weichs. I tried them on his bass.
