Keep in mind the Cali is a bit larger than the MXR. You may want to move your voodoo to the underside of the board. That would free up space for more pedals though, so a dangerous path to go down.

I'm surprised so many people still use Amazon. I thought their atrocious company ethics, staggering destruction of resources, appalling employee treatment and mind-blowing knob headedness of Bezos would have deterred most people by now.

All that can be achieved on the open string while eating a banana with your free hand. Keep your energy up, you're in this for the long haul!

I'd change the drummer. Twice.

Very nice collection! I'm curious how the block'n'binding neck (bottom) would work on the natural P body (top). Would love to see a pic of that combination. I've recently developed GAS for the fat 62 precision sound and am kind of looking for a bass I can haul around.

As you're going to be using your audio interface I'd not worry about an amp for now. Decent headphones or the in-ears you already own are fine. Instead you could get a preamp like the behringer v-tone bass bddi21 to give your bass tone some flavour. Budget for a comfortable strap and the correct cables, maybe a gig bag if you plan on taking the bass to different places (Thomann offers a package deal, not bad!) Put the rest of your budget towards lessons, a quality audio interface if needed, or a DAW and plugins or a spare set of strings. Most of all, enjoy and keep at it!

This type of thing? There was a thread on songs with nice vocals a year or maybe two ago. Can't recall the title now...

Really seals in the funk!

Not to be disrespectful but did someone throw up over your pedals?

The DT770 pros are excellent, widely used headphones. Buy with confidence. The 250 Ohm are the standard unless you plan to use mainly portable devices, then get the 80 Ohm version that is a little easier to drive. The 250 sounds a bit better.

You don't see many glow-in-the-dark basses do you? You'd think they'd be easy to spot.

The Electro Harmonix Battalion is missing from the list. I've just gone through a similar search and have found a second hand one. Waiting on it to come in the mail.

Seeing this is recorded to be an advertisement for his educational course maybe consider that the signal is heavily processed at the desk (or post-production in the box). As far as I can tell there's an octaver in the signal, a direct in to the desk and a mic in front of the cab. Just going 'ah, flats!' While stroking your chin, taking a puff on the old pipe and staring into the middle distance really doesn't do the process justice.

Batmobile, always such an amazing show!

There are people that buy their bass in parts, but not me. Good luck!

It's good to keep in mind that a significant portion of all research is done to exclude wild guesses for once and all. 'maybe ducks float better when coated in peanut butter? Ah no, but dogs seem to like them even more though!'

There are a hundred new Metallicas. There were never so many bands with that quality potential. But the time that there was one Queen, one Stones, one Madonna, one Metallica etc is long gone thanks to the www.

I believe I speak for my entire Department of Audiology at the university hospital I work at, we train ENT doctors, when I say that if there was even a shred of cause to look in to this, it would have been researched and be part of the curriculum by now.

As soon as I'm GAS free I start a new hobby.

Finesse? On a bass? Could you describe the sounds you want from it more precisely, this is a bit vague.

Free shipping to Russia? Yeah I won't be giving them my business.

Not the costumer service but the product is below par for me. 'gold plated' ultra lite tuners started flaking off the plating at first use.

These price hikes have been in the making for years now. The damage to global goods markets done by Trump and Covid can't be overstated. And as UK steps away from Europe, Russia steps forward with their land grab in the Ukraine. So many factors to consider all putting in their bit, like dominos.

What was so bad about Murph & the MT that was so bad for Dunn? Or was it just Jake and Elwood leaving only a few minutes in?

Have a look at Flare audio https://www.flareaudio.com/products/earshade That said, please see a medical audiologist and/or a psychologist specialised in hyperacusis. It sounds a bit like that's what you're struggling with.
