Have faith - my 13 year old s#itbox sailed through its last MOT with only a few advisories, it does happen

At least it's proof that some people use the search function

Ach, you caught me using one to pry it open

This is a desperate ploy

And with that, Pandora's box lid flew open

Does it have to be a Fender?

I think I should have been clearer with my rather truncated statement which now that I read it does make me look like a bit of a douche. It has been sometimes true though - in times of trouble I've had to focus on my own situation and be less concerned with the difficulties of others. I don't think I need to apologise for that - I'm not a saint. But I do need to apologise for being a grump, so, sorry for being a grump. Gen Xers can be grumpy too, boomers - in fact, we'll out grump you, you old timers! FWIW I try to help people with their physiological needs by helping run and contributing to a community food larder, and it bothers me that it needs to exist at all.

We have a house. We've had a few wobbles along the way trying to keep it (bass fire sales, debt restructuring etc.) so frankly I don't care how easy/difficult it is/was for other people.

I'm on 9 and a bit months, if we're flexing here Ahh, you win.

12 years since last bass purchase? First new bass ever? Hand in your badge and gun - how have you managed to hide in plain sight all this time when you're so clearly BCing wrong? Kidding aside, congrats and enjoy that new bass/case smell...

Spill it - I'm getting fat eating all this damn popcorn.

If your bandmates haven't complained/noticed then I don't see what the problem is. We replaced our sax player a few years ago and he plays the older songs his way. I wouldn't expect him to be a carbon copy of the previous sax player.

That P bass has been getting freaky with some alien life forms, but it's still a proud parent.

You're about 11 years too late, but if you can find one second hand... https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2011/03/26/gibson-releases-thunderbird-short-scale-bass/

A pictorial mic drop.

Why? IIRC back in the day there was some rumblings of Fender being legally unhappy with Gibson regarding the original reverse Thunderbird which spooked Gibson enough to redesign it. That's why. Totally ready for the QI klaxon to go off

No need to apologise, one less person looking for the same things as me is always a good thing

Ooh, that's a very personal question! Assuming we're talking about basses Epiphone Jack Casady Most G&Ls (L-1000 in particular) Good (in my opinion) Gibsons 3 pickup basses Fat Yamaha BBs (the slimmer bodied ones aren't true BBs in my opinion - the B stands for Broad) P basses which are subtly different from Fender/Squier (like my G&L Tribute LB-100) Humbuckers

Yup. They leave me utterly cold.

I think it's ugly because it's a Jazz

It wasn't meant to be an exhaustive list of all non-flying personnel in the RAF

I have Christmas AND a birthday to navigate in that time. I have £500 burning a hole in a savings pot in my bank account that was set aside for the utilities price hike which never (fully) happened. I have ideas of making my Epiphone Les Paul passive again, and fitting a 10 way switch to my Reverend Triad. Neither things need to be done this year. Must. Stay. Strong.

In response to above, I don't think monitoring stuff counts - it's PPE, innit and removing a wire makes it safer, so I think this is fair enough. So, October now, who's still in, apart from me?
