Somewhere between 'Jesus Built My Hotrod' and 'Overkill' is The Almighty's Powertrippin'.

A lot more money than the SB50, but there's a lovely Yamaha Samurai on ebay at the mo. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-SBV-J2-Samurai-bass-/174699058283?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

Happy The Man - The Cure

I can't quite tell, is he fingering Am?

Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - The Smiths

That's more like it. 😄

"Italian made Precision bass copy". Or Japanese made Telecaster bass copy. You decide. 😁 It's nice though.

Welcome to my Nightmare - Alice Cooper

Back at the Funny Farm - Motorhead

I'm assuming it's much more recent rather than when they were relevant, probably signed at one of their anniversary/reunion cash ins. "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" Yes John, as does the owner of this bass probably. 😄

Drops of Jupiter - Train

Fairy Cakes Wear Boots - Sabbath

Toast - Streetband

I didn't know about that version, thanks. It works well as a crooner tune. Parklife - Blur

Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden

They just need to come up with a marketing angle and they're onto a winner. 'The all new Stingray. Now contains Toneworms.'

I can't afford genuine, vintage undercrackers so I buy the cheap ones from Lidl's 'Middle Isle Of Mystery', a twenty-four can slab of brown ale and a couple of microwave curries and get to work relicing my own. A top tip is to unpick a bit of stitching on the elastic to give a vintage vibe sag to the gusset.

Flash, Bang, Wallop! - Tommy Steele

Be My Baby - The Ronettes

You have now hit on the correct answer. I have a mirrored one on my mint green Longhorn and really like it. If you really must go with one of your three original choices then the plain white works best, but it would look better as an off white cream/parchment one. 😉

I've made a replacement control plate for my Hofner Club with no labelling on. It makes more sense than the original. 😄

If a mini humbucker gives a more focused sound due to 'seeing' a shorter length of string compared to a standard humbucker, then a pickup which could 'see' 100% of the speaking length of string should just be a sludgey, booming mush shouldn't it? But who knows? As Andy says, with all three of the Simms pickups on in MM mode you'll have a lot of the normal pickup area covered all a the same time.

I must be a weirdo. In every thread about straps, one of the key features seems to be a grippy inner. It's the one thing that puts me off a strap. I'm fairly animated and like to be able to move my bass around and even when I don't, a grippy strap just results in whatever top I'm wearing ending up all bunched up on my shoulder. I honestly don't get the love of a grippy strap, but hey, we'll all different right? I use the Mono Betty as it gives decent support without being grippy. 🙂 I've just re read that and a 'grippy inner' sounds like a rectal issue. 😖
