Knead You Tonight - INXS

Doctor Feelgood - The Crüe

Weather with You - Same Bunch

I could chime in here, as I have in the past, and talk about mechanical to electrical transduction, blah blah blah, but I really can’t bothered again. No one really moves from their entrenched positions. The only thing I will say is that manufacturers and retailers are in the business of making money, so we should certainly regard what they have to say with a modicum of scepticism and trust to our experience. FWIW the video in the OP would certainly persuade me to buy a Seymour Duncan pickup for a cheaper instrument that I was comfortable with (I have in fact done this, just not with an SD).

Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jacks

Back on the Chaingang - The Pretenders

Lavender - Marillion

In Bloom - Nirvana

Build Me Up Buttercup - The Foundations

Yeah, measures the same as my Delano MM.

For The Whom The Bell Tolls - Metallica

Hanging on the Telephone - Blondie

I feel a day trip to the Borders might be on the cards for me.

Trust In Me - Kaa the Snake (Jungle Book) voiced by Sterling Holloway.

Geek Stink Breath - Green Day

Down in the Sewer - The Stranglers

I'll Follow You Into The Dark - Death Cab For Cutie

When Tomorrow Comes - Eurythmics

Very true.

Born Under A Bad Sign - Lots of folk, but let’s go with Albert King. FYI written by Booker T no less.

Your Song - EJ

@A.G.E.N.T.E. Makes a good point about budget. If money is tight and you’re experimenting with compression, something like a Behringer pedal might not be a bad start point, not robust at all, but an affordable gateway product and probably a clone of one of the name brands https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=P0605 https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=P0592 Just for balance, there is the other end of the price spectrum with the often revered Cali76 https://origineffects.com/product/cali76-compact-bass/

Shotgun Blues - SRV

Drop Dead Gorgeous - Republica

Goodbye Girl - Squeeze
