The answer is

First song I played at a gig on bass was "Back in the USSR". I'm pretty sure we then did an original instrumental called "I love you so much I can't shit".

And, indeed, during the time between setting up and taking down.

The button says it's a flan, so perhaps that's a flan flinger (not a flinger).

When I was looking for an extremely tall stand for a Warwick Buzzard, that was the tallest I could find (and the grabby bit disintegrated after a little while so I don't think much of them). Could you fashion something that the strap would hang on with a cradle of some sort to stop the neck pivoting round the securing screw? Or maybe you could just swap the EUB for an Omnibass.

Tab, notation, or by ear?

Active v passive too.

But if a low D (below bottom E) and a D on the 5th fret of the A string are played, you can tell the difference and that the low D is lower than the next D up. So although the fundamental may not be coming through, your brain can work it out.

And clothes or not?

Mostly unambiguous, but should it be Go Jira or Jo Jira? 😁

The VAT would still have to be paid, at the German rate, when buying it.

As Nick Drake has been dead for years, why would he be bothered by Mark Lamar?

All of them.

I'm not sure that any of my active basses with passive pickups (all of them except the Warwicks) have buffers prior to the blend. My Sei Original did originally (see what I did there?) have a Bartolini preamp that buffered the pickups prior to the blend, but it went titsup so got replaced by a Delano that doesn't.

Pulling my knob wouldn't help on my Ibanez EHB1265MS, or my Sei Jazz - but the toggle switch would.

No, flanging isn't the same as phasing, it's more closely allied to chorus. https://producerhive.com/ask-the-hive/chorus-vs-flanger-vs-phaser/

But the G of Garage is a hard G. The g of garage, however, is a soft g.

Might be worth getting one of those watch polishing cloths mentioned in the polishing up yer frets thread and cleaning up the keypad, in case there's some mucky bits - I think, as @Woodinblack says, it's a resistor network so stray resistances will mess it up. Incidentally, there's a reddit group for it (just happened across it in a search). Might be worth a look.

Maybe they thought people would automatically pronounce it "muggerfugger", like the word "melonfarmer"[1]. [1] https://greensdictofslang.com/entry/pzv2lqa meaning 2.

GR Bass's carbon fibre 4x10 weighs 13.3kg for the 800W version. It's not cheap at £1299 though (the same price as Barefaced's 4x10 which is 10kg heavier, or two LFSys Monacos which each weigh the same as one GR Bass 4x10).

At least none of us have been driven to anjer.
