If you're going to be a tribute band then you have to try to be spot on with the music. You don't have to look anything like the band but the music should be as close as possible to the original.

But if you’ve spent all the time and effort it takes to get really close musically it takes comparatively little effort to change your shirt. 😉

Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos - Public Enemy

Have you checked all of the screws on the machine head? Check that the big screw through the centre of the tuner hasn’t worked loose, and also the 4 screws that hold the backplate to the headstock would be my next step- also, is there any ‘wobble’ in the tuning key itself when the string is tuned?

I wonder what the total bass-count is for all of BC? 🤔

X-1, where X is the perfect number of basses.

I'd oil that board too - looks as dry as Ghandi's flip-flop!

Tapes are MUCH wider in diameter than rounds, I’d start by checking the size of the groove for that string.

"Oom Bop"?

 

That wasn't The Beach Boys in the 60's, that was the Hanson Brothers in the 90's!

 

The Hanson bros. iteration was in fact ‘Mmm Bop’, which loses a lot in translation from the original Sanskrit. 😉

Edge of the world - FNM

Nice! I prefer the white guard as it gives a more ‘danelectro’ vibe.

Dance to the music - Sly & the family stone.

Blowerbox is quite simply the best Rat based circuit for bass; that is a scientific fact!

Vans? Shouldn’t you be wearing crocodile shoes?

I play sat down too, but stick to using my right foot (I'm right-handed) as I can only reliably control three limbs at once.

Reliably? That puts a different slant on things… 😄

Tongue - R.E.M.

Train in Vain - The Clash

Secret option F - both feet as I play sat down 😄

Touch-a touch-a touch me - Rocky Horror Cast

Wont Get Fooled Again - the Van Halen version.

That version introduced me to the Who’s back catalogue!!

If you’ve already got one (and let’s be honest, you really should do) then get this as a second!!

Holiday in Cambodia - DK

Cowboys from hell - trouser-tearer

Still not sure how the Michael Jackson legacy seems to escaped his very dodgy past

Jacko wasn’t ever convicted.

Running round the fountains in Trafalgar Square - George Formby

Play some Primus - you’ll have a LOT of fun on the bass, and Ler’s guitar parts are so unorthodox your guitarist can pretty much play anything and most punters won’t be able to tell the difference! 😄
