I wonder if he normally kept a combo amp in his car or if he was just expecting to be called into service that day.

The Flamingo ballroom is now a Morrisons. The local nostalgia groups are very grumpy about that turn of events.

I know that works with eBay purchases because I've done it, but does it work with Reverb as well?

Speaking personally I can appreciate the technicality where someone's playing a blizzards of notes, but quite often it just seems really out of place or just showing off for the sake of it. Pretty much every time I feel like that is when players are playing fast slap and all you can hear is the clackityclackityclackity of the string on the frets but there's no time for any kind of timbre of note to be heard because the next fret clank is only a tiny fraction of a second behind it. The problem isn't that I don't like the sound of it - I love the sound of it but would actually like to hear it!

Are we talking about something like an audio version of aphantasia?

Same, when he's playing melodically I quite enjoy it but there's too much of the slappityslappityslappity in most of the stuff of his I've listened to for me to get into it.

I got put off iTunes and iPhones when I had one back in about 2009, and I loathed iTunes with a fiery passion. I had a work iPhone in 2017-2019 but feel no desire to have one again as a personal phone, and iTunes is definitely a part of that.

Spotify because I use it for music, podcasts and audiobooks and it's handy to have all that in one place.

I've gone down a bit of a rabbit hole...

Time for Hayseed Dixie yet?

Or just this bass face in general?

Sick of playing Go Your Own Way? Are you sure you want to join this band?

Break a leg!

Or if you don't nail all the audition material then at least demonstrate that you're nearly there and are prepared to put in the effort. When I auditioned for my current band they just sent me a set list of 21 songs but didn't ask me to prepare any of them in particular, so I worked my arse off and made sure I was there or thereabouts with virtually all of them. Apparently it worked because I'm nearly 2 years in now.

Indeed, Fender for one has so many minor variations on a limited number of themes that anything they can do to make one model stand out above the crowd is worth a try.

Presumably only almost unlimited because eventually the volume will be 0?

We don't bother usually. Maybe we've just been blessed playing in pubs with decent lighting though.

I assume you're looking at playing with others including a drummer? For that, and assuming your drummer has an acoustic kit, I think you need an amp rated at at least 200W to give you some headroom; you might get by with 100W but it probably won't sound good if you have to push it and that could damage the speakers. If you like Ampeg the Rocket Bass 115 would be worth a look, or the Fender Rumble 200, Trace Elliot Elf combo, Ashdown Studio 210, etc. Most of these will give you about 130W with no extension cabinet, which would be good for rehearsals, but could be expanded to 200W or more with another cabinet when you're ready to gig.

That's putting it mildly!

I've recently been loving Krist Novoselic's tone with 3rd Secret and would happily have that for myself.

Aren't Fender strings made by D'Addario though?

NatWest Barclays Midland Lloyds - Manic Street Preachers

Not with that particular combo, but there are certainly combos out there that effectively have a standard head in a cabinet with a speaker enclosure and you can see the lead from one of the speaker cable sockets disappearing elsewhere into the box, for example on this old Markbass combo:
