Never needed a backup so I won't bring a spare. Discuss with the band if, when and why you want to switch basses.

In Metal I stumbled upon Tribulation this year, Swedish metal but very catchy! In Non-Metal I realised that many awesome tracks in cool movies were credit to The Heavy, catchy soul kinda stuff!

Voted before watching the video, sorry edit: in the video the BB with both pickups takes second place.

If you'd just call them by their name much of the 'confusion' would dissipate. Musicman, Sterling By Musicman. The Musicman Sterling bass also has a different neck profile than the stingray does. It's really not rocket surgery.

In conclusion it turns out that yes, anyone can explain the Musicman Stingray series!

Ernie Ball Musicman instruments are made in San Luis Obispo, California. Sterling By Musicman instruments are made in Indonesia I think. Maybe they get a QC and setup in the USA. Musicman makes an instrument called Sterling, this complicates things a bit, but that is to a Stingray like a fender jazz is to a precision.

They've branched out and now make a range of products, from silicone spray to brake cleaner, and still make the original water deterrent.

Motip, 3m, Griffon, kontakt Chemi, etc,etc,etc ... It's WD that's late to the party. My favourite: Woah that pic is way larger than it needs to be, sorry.

Beyerdynamic 770 for closed back or 990 for open back are great headphones and there are aftermarket cushions available to further customise them. Can't go wrong there. The higher Ohmage ones are harder to drive well, for barely any improvement IMO. Akg m50 have a smaller but enthusiastic fan base. Sennheiser hd 25 for good on-ears, HD 300 for over ears or if you want to stretch a bit the HD 600 are fab.

Not sure what your budget is and what accesoires your kid already has. +A set of straplocks is always great. Schaller, Dunlop, Loxx.. can't really go wrong with the name brands. +Behringer v-tone Bdi 21 pedal Always good to have a direct line to the mixing desk with a bit of your favourite sound. +A set of his favourite strings. +A nice guitar strap has been mentioned, I like Marusczyk padded straps. +D'Addario Guitar Maintenance Kit for Bass. Has every tool for setups to string changes. +Mono cases bass gig bag. The best way to protect a bass on the go that's also portable. Headphones for silent practice at home, a comfy padded stool, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface for the computer, LESSONS or a workshop, a good guitar stand, Driver's license... So many things! I tried listing in ascending order of cost a bit. Oh last but not least, all bass players really really want one thing above all else... Another bass guitar.

Oh good shout!

Loxx strap locks are the very best I've found over the decades. https://www.thomann.de/nl/loxx_security_lock_gd.htm?msclkid=e35230d12d7e14bb51b455a07292edd9&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping NL&utm_term=4576167415641879&utm_content=GI Flat fit, strong, lasting and secure, no squeeking and faster to click on and off than the Grolsch washers.

Cliff Burton and Rob Trujillo please

I thought the original, while not as technically advanced, was at least a better experience. None of that 'classical music starts with class' snobbery, but just contemporary tunes for those that want to enjoy them!

Planet of the apes but with a less developed group of humanoids?

I'd sand the fender decal off but other than that it looks about 18% better than an actual fender

Not the year I remember but I listen/look on youtoob a lot too.

Where would 'great' score?

"guarantees a lifetime beyond 10,000 mating cycles." I'm getting two!

I can't stress enough how isolation is only going to make dealing with mild sounds more and more difficult. Please see about retraining to accept sound into your life again under care of an audiologist or psychologist that is familiar with the problem. I'm saying this as a medical professional in the field of audiometry. Avoidance can only lead to more misery, social isolation and possibly deep depression. There is a way up and out but it's hard work and nearly impossible without professional help.

These have been serving me for about four years I think. Zero issues!

Looks ideal for the job.

I either wear a longer t-shirt or tuck it into my trousers.

Mumford and Dads?

I think it's the dapper moustache.
