    I love real Record Vices (pre-Irwin 🙂 ) I have a No. 3 and was delighted to spot a Record No. 1 in Dad's... living room. Hopefully the huge 4" QR vice I used as a teenager is somewhere in Dad's workshop.

    I'd make the rebate deeper and face it with solid wood but grain vertical. But I'm a metal basher so don't trust my wood vice advice...

    Just an observation, but any bass balanced on a knee (unless suspended by a strap) is in unstable equilibrium. Plus, balancing a bass on your knee is very uncomfortable and not conducive to good playing, consider balancing it on your thigh instead. Note, any bass balanced on a thigh (unless suspended by a strap) is in unstable equilibrium.

    It's the British habit to mock such people freely; it's not meant as any disrespect to others.

    Early Tudor. It's made out of a door and something's chewed it.

    I think the word 'affectation' may be appropriate, without meaning to be rude?

    It's not unusual behaviour for some people- they start a topic with a good idea of how they will respond to some predictable replies.

    You could add a diode in series with your dropper resistor. I suspect your partial 'cure' is stopping the preamp output dropping rapidly to zero before the power amp has shut down.

    This ^^ Unlike most YT bass-cover channels she interprets basslines rather than aping them, so the answer to: Is apparently yes.

    I had prepared a longer answer but decided it was teaching granny to suck eggs. In it I proposed a unity follower to give a nice hi-Z input stage, then a conventional volume control, followed by inverting amp with a gain of about 10 or so all fed by linear regulated supply derived from eth main one 🙂

    Tell me more of this mythical 'audience' of which you speak? Is it truly some strange gathering from the maskless days?:

    Long ago I shared a flat with (among others) a chap who worked in a computer shop. He told the story of the BBC computer that came in for a service full of dog ends. The owner thought the cartridge slot was an ashtray.
