I think we all like and appreciate the really good stuff, so I'm not 100% immune to some snobbishness, but with experience comes understanding... We have all known Squiers nicer than Fenders and Epiphones better than Gibsons - great setup is what makes the difference. Ultimately it's how good a player you are - what's cooler, a great player on a £200 bass or a mediocre player on a £3000 super bass? Are you a collector of instruments or a player of music? Instruments need to make music and it's the quality of the music that counts. (Please ignore the list of not-at-all-snobbish instruments in my sig... 😉 )

Some brass bar stock is close in dims, so not too much filing... Here is 6mm x 10mm x 500m bar - one cut and some filing... Z-fiber Brass Flat Bar 10 X 500mm/19.7inch Long 1 Pcs H59 Brass Bars Stock for DIY Crafts Panel Metalworking,Thickness:10mm : Amazon.co.uk: Home & Kitchen

If you cover the labels with masking tape before applying the velcro you protect the labels. Also use some alcohol to degrease the pedals before sticking the velcro on.

This should fit OK unless you have some very high pedals... Stagg UPC-500 500x255x90mm ABS Guitar Effect Pedal Flight Case Int. dim. (HxWxD): 255 x 500 x 90 mm https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/guitar-pedals/pedalboards/stagg-upc-500-effect-pedal-case

Love it - I'm a sucker for block inlays on rosewood.

Stick a walnut truss rod plug in there too...

Same here... MS Edge can't connect to their website as it gives ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR - there appears a problem with negotiating an https connection. It does work with Firefox browser.

Me too... I had nothing decent to compare it to so I was happy in my ignorance.

Yes, this. Be sure to remove any conductive plastic (thin black layer) around the central conductor.

Most likely the jack socket is faulty and not switching off when jack is unplugged.

The VONG filter kits are really good. I've got a mini LPF on a guitar pedalboard as a 'fizz killer' and the VONG Filterung (sweepable HP/LP filter) is very useful on guitar and bass.

D'Addario EXL160M 50-105 Med Scale are great on a string-through Mustang.

What's with the four holes between the bridge and PuP? Has it had mutes removed?

Do an Amazon search for bass guitar dust covers...

TC Electronic BG250-208 2 x 8" combo - inexpensive and sounds good at low volumes.

You can use a tapped audio transformer like the Cassidy bass does.

Make sure you are recording to an AUDIO track and not an instrument (MIDI) track

Have you armed Rec on the track? Is there a record button as well as a play button that needs pushed?

The room being square is the main problem as the H and V room nodes are the same frequency. Something like these will be required...

Not easy. Not easy at all... 3m x 3m (square) means same standing waves across and along the room. You'll have a very pronounced ring around 114Hz and 228Hz. If the ceiling is also at 3m ish thing will be even worse. Dealing with these low frequencies needs thick absorbers - 75mm spaced 75mm off the walls. Any irregular surfaces for dispersion will help with the mids and highs but a large low frequency peak like you have is difficult to stop. 2m x 1m x 75mm hard fibreglass panels or Rockwool filled frames (cheaper option) covering most of the walls with corner bass traps are called for but they would take 300mm off the room dimensions. https://www.studiospares.com/acoustics/acoustic-panels/primacoustic-broadband-panel-beveled-24-x-48-x-3-grey_464772.htm or similar Tuned membrane absorbers matched to the room node(s) can also work. Use Audacity to generate pink noise and put this through your speakers. A decent LDC mic at the listening position and Spectralissime Spectrum Analyzer will show where the big peaks and dips are and their amplitude.

Not sure if these are tall enough, but... Heavy Duty Drum Throne | Drummerworld Forum

Two options like these... J Bass blend pot wiring.pdf

Could be a weak magnetic polepiece for the A.

And the blurry font for the serial number - genuine US Fender's serials are crisp and clean...
