Some people find them useful, some don't. I have quite a few basses, only one of which had a ramp on, and on balance I preferred it without. As the ramp was simply wedged between the pickups, it could be removed and replaced non-destructively. I don't think that the use or absence of a ramp is indicative of the skill level of the player.

The hole's already the right size, there's just a groove round it where the teeth of the T-nut go. I was inclined to go with gluing the T-nut in place as @stevie says, if I put the araldite on the wood-facing surface of the T-nut (after making sure that it's got a good thread), put a little 3-in-1 onto the bolt thread in case of accidents, and pull it into place with bolt and washer, that should do the job.

I have a B2AV with Hohner-branded jazz pickups, which I assume is the Mk II. Before that I had a B2V, passive with those pickups, which sounded rather thinner than the B2AV. I had to replace the active preamp in the B2AV as it wasn't working well, can't remember what I used - I think it may have been a Delano Sonar.

But some people like them, just like some misguided people actually like headstocks.

That's a bit sad, I remember meeting it at a Moffat bass bash.

Yes, I wonder if they'll do a 5er. I was searching for Sqoe headlesses and happened across a webpage about headlesses which was obviously written by an imbecile. If you want a laugh (Fender being a leading manufacturer of headless basses, headless basses having short string length, headless basses mostly being cricket bats, and many other examples of complete ignorance) have a look at https://www.bassox.com/headless-bass-guitars/

Cracking amps. I kept mine when I sold the BB2 and went to a combo, and it's getting used with a BC house jam microcab 6" cab now. I thought mine might have got hot and shut down (I was wrong, it was the 4x10 cab I had at the time blowing a speaker or two) and Thomas Eich helped me with fitting a small fan inside which the later Puma 900s have. I don't think it was necessary, as it turns out.

Having finally restored my morale sufficiently to attack the bolt with a Dremel (it succumbed quickly enough once I decided to not be a wuss and whack the thing up to full speed), and refinished the back where I put the corner protector screw holes in the wrong place, I now have the task of putting the speaker in again. I think one other T-nut didn't want to thread up properly so I shall check them all. This does leave me with the problem of the knackered one, as my endeavours to extract the bolt have basically cut a moat around the hole so I'm not sure that there's anything for a replacement T-nut to bite on at the moment. Would Araldite, the goddess of mending things, work? And if so, smear it over and into the moat and let it cure before putting the T-nut in, or fix the T-nut in place using it?

It seems a lot of work to go to to rescue a body, especially if it's plywood.

Do I sense a "name the cab and get a free one" competition in the offing? 😁

Dab of oppo?

So, rather than my real life situation, in this fantasy world I'd opt for a Lekato wireless and an MS-60B, the same as I have in my little bag, as I've got less than an hour and I've got to knock up a suitable patch without the benefit of ToneLib on the PC.

What are the fretboard extensions above the zero fret for? Bendwell? I've got an EHB1265MS which I haven't put the ramp on, and I've now taken the ramp off my Sei Flamboyant - it didn't seem to be of any benefit to me.

The Why

That's all very well for you young people, if I had to try to pick up a plectrum from the floor I'd never manage to get up again.

Shame that "Krankie goes to Holyrood" breaks the rules. Fucus (or, at the cost of a Hard Stare, Mucus)

Well, the rusty old van was a Jag estate and there weren't any talent scouts, and there wasn't a massive music store across the road. But I did forget my pedalboard, and hadn't bothered bringing my little bag with an MS-60B and Lekato wireless, so I just had to plug the bass into the amp...

Slipknob

Great for the wealthy professional gigging musician, an utterly extravagant waste of money for home practice as the OP wants.

Slice Cooper The Bertles

What would be the purpose of that bit of wood at the neck heel filling in a hole where one might expect to find a truss rod adjuster on some instruments?

Wouldn't a broken coil on a P result in it not producing any sound at all? Looking at the circuit for the tone control on a P, a shorted capacitor seems the more likely culprit.

Nothing for bass - I very rarely use a plectrum and keep a couple in my wallet. For guitar, I have a (black) pick holder stuck to the front of my (black) Variax 300 to hold my (black) plectrums but haven't done anything for the JTV59 yet as I'm a bit more wary of detracting from its appearance.
