Yes. I shielded my JMJ Mustang from the pickup rout, through to the control cavity (making sure it connects with the metal control plate) and it is noticeably quieter.

Always use your own bass if possible. PITA? Oh yes, but it’s the best test. Yes, PJB stuff isn’t as cheap as some sadly. I’ve never seen anyone else using them live at gigs I’ve been to, although Pino (with PSP) and Kyle Eastwood are among their most prominent list of users.

The problem isn’t always the speaker either, but the cabinet it’s house in. I know it’s not always practical, or even possible, but trying out combos beforehand, preferably side by side, is the best way forward. FWIW I use Phil Jones rigs for both EB and EUB, which feature multiple 5” speakers (as alluded to by @Beedster above) and, IMO, sound great.

Make sure that that pacifier is returned to its owner beforehand, or you’ll be on the end of a baby’s hard stare.

Puppet on a String - Sandie Shaw

Hey Joe (90) - Hendrix

It’s Chapati And I’ll Cry If I Want To - Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin

Peter Gabriel’s So has 2 brilliant runs of 3. Red Rain - Sledgehammer -Don't Give Up and then In Your Eyes - Mercy Street - Big Time.

Blowin’ Free - Wishbone Ash

Always happy to contribute to this type of question. My list doesn’t really change that much to be fair: Pino (as always) Tony Levin (again, never leaves the list) Roscoe Beck (one of my biggest influences early on) Bobby Vega (possibly the funkiest man on the planet) Lee Sklar (absolute legend) Dee Murray (just so musical and hugely missed) Chuck Rainey (mainly for his work with Steely Dan, which leads on to…) Walter Becker (often overlooked for his bass work) Danny Thompson (DB tone monster)

The Winner Takes It All - ABBA

Where Have All the Cowboys Gone? - Paula Cole (what a voice!)

Loved her on OGWT and it’s hard choice between her and whispering Bob for my favourite presenter of that show.

Thorn in my Side - Eurythmics

I had an LS2 many, many years ago and I swapped a couple of the jack sockets to facilitate better/easier cable runs. Perhaps this is his solution or maybe he bought my old one

Losing My Religion - REM

Skateaway - Dire Straits

Right now, I’m listening to something a good chum and ex band mate has released.

She’s Hexagon - Hall & Oates

Running With The Pack - Bad Co

Pulling Muscles From A Shell - Squeeze

Anthony Jackson’s Fender hybrid was the ‘Career Girl’.

The Kidneys Are Alright - The Who
