As you've already demonstrated that your taste is rather different to the average Planet Rock listener, I'm sure that there will be at least three RHCP songs in the 500.

Whole Lotta Rosie hasn't appeared yet either, nor Highway to Hell. Number one will surely be between Stairway and Bo Rhap. I was just looking for Sweet Child O' Mine, which hasn't appeared yet, then remembered Sweet Home Alabama - and then, thinking of American states, Hotel California. None of them in yet, so they're in the top 155. And then California led me to RHCP, and there's none of their songs in yet.

Trex - that cooking fat.

What happens if you update to 3.80 then 3.81 then 3.83? Alternatively, can you update online rather than from a downloaded file?

If the active/passive switch has an unused pole, you could use that to switch the power to the preamp, assuming the pickups themselves are passive, then practice with it in passive mode.

Well, that went downhill quickly. "Do you want to buy it or are you just being a clever dick?". So I said I was just telling him he'd described it wrong, and he was too arrogant for me to buy anything from him.

Messaged him to say it was an Explorer not a Blitz, and he's messaged me back to say Hamer never made an Explorer, that was Gibson, 100% it's a Blitz and he has a collection of Hamer from 20 years of running a Def Leppard tribute. I've messaged him back to suggest he googles Hamer Explorer.

GR Bass AT212 if you can find one cheap. And there's one for £50 less than £900. https://reverb.com/uk/item/86885913-gr-bass-at-212-slim-carbon-fibre-2020s-carbon-fibre

Rest of the band watching the bassist set up the PA after they've plugged in their cables and the drummer has got in the way.

Took the Poseidon V out last night and remembered that I still haven't changed the strings from 45s to 40s. A night of technical hitches - my Variax acoustic wouldn't power up (battery holder, not the Line 6 original which I've mislaid, played up), someone else managed to turn the volume right down on his guitar while putting on a capo, some shenanigans around a guitar and pedalboard, and at the end of the evening, in our final jam (the customary Freebird outro) after I'd gone walkabout to the back of the room and was heading back, my sound cut out. Not wireless, not pedal, amp. The power lead had pulled out slightly. With that pushed back home, we finished the song. Featured band was a punk and post-punk band doing assorted covers, Green Day, Weezer, Beastie Boys to name a few.

The product description on that very page includes "Integrated Bluetooth allows effortless audio streaming and remote mix tweaks via the Alto Mix Control App." (third paragraph).

Some of the staff have come via Musical Exchanges and PMT. I was in there very recently - bought a second-hand GK MB150 combo which had the speaker cone disintegrate on first proper use, and they were very good about seeing if it could be repaired (the 12" driver is now unobtainable and substitutes don't work so well) and refunding me when it couldn't.

Another point is that every single image of a Blitz bass shows them with PJ pickups, not twin soapbars. And the Blitz doesn't have a scratchplate. However, the Hamer Explorer has twin soapbars and a white scratchplate with what I assume is a pickup selector switch.

Absolutely stunning.
