If it's OK to have frets instead of simply learning where the notes are, then it's OK to have a music stand instead of simply learning what the words are.

For several years I played acoustic bass guitars (first a fretted Michael Kelly Dragonfly 4 and then a fretless Takamine B10) with backline amplification and normal eq and no feedback. Of course if you stand right in front facing the speaker with high volume and without muting the strings then there's a good chance it might feedback but it never happened to me.

Smoked and Retromatic B2 are both 34" scale.

The Retromatic bass also matched my guitarist's Retromatic guitar ...

I have not played a Peerless Smoked Bass but a bassist in another band we supported a couple of years ago had one and sounded great causing me to buy a Peerless Retromatic B2 like the stock photo below. It's an excellent bass and I imagine the Smoked is also excellent. Peerless have made hollow body guitars and basses for many years including the Epiphone Jack Casady bass and the Epiphone Casino guitar.

Have you not heard of him?

I don't use OFPF (except maybe if i get up around fret 7 and beyond); for lower frets I use Simandl. Is this not correct? I don't. I use one finger whenever I can; I only use two fingers if I really have to. Is this not correct?

Fair enough, but for me nothing autoplayed after 'Clergy'. We better have this as well ...

It's worse than you think ....

Wobble on fretted, yes. Vibrato on fretless yes. Bending, no.

Tea AND biscuits! How could you?

Great pictures. I regret not keeping more of my own.

Kaye says: 'I'm teaching him how to play bass, isn't that funny, that's hilarious really, there's a few zeros difference here'. I guess she's referring to his many millions compared to her fewer millions.

I recall Pete Townsend in an interview saying something not dissimilar about The Who.
