Find a music shop with a decent selection of basses and try a few out. Don't just try the Precisions.

Either Tonelib or Zoom to get their arses into gear and produce Windows and Android editors for the more recent Zoom models - the MS-Plus range, the B2-4, and I think the B6 too.

That depends what day of the week it is. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are multiples of five, Tuesdays and Thursdays are multiples of four, and the weekend is prime numbers.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten Data's cat Spot.

Rash

A bit of a necro thread... I was a BF user, had a BB2 and later a One10. I found the One10 started distorting at quite low levels, so stopped using it. I later fancied changing to a combo and bought a GR Bass AT800 Cube (1x12 combo) and sold the BB2, and later went back to separates and went for a GR Bass AT212 to go with my Tecamp Puma 900 (despite having built a BC 112 Mk3, which I also sold).

Might they also be the wrong taper, lin instead of log (or vice versa)?

The ongoing chart: https://www.hellorayo.co.uk/planet-rock/news/rock-news/the-500-greatest-rock-songs-of-all-time Up (or down) to number 368 as I type.

Ibanez or Cort to make a neck-through headless, 34" scale, variants with 4, 5, and 6 strings, parallel frets, switchable active, HH, Ibanez SR series neck profile, fretless also available. Natural wood and solid colours. Roland to open-source project LYDIA: https://articles.roland.com/introducing-project-lydia/ PiPedal inna box. Raspberry Pi, the guts of a decent USB audio interface, a display (possibly touch-screen), some buttons, and some knobs.

If you happen to like science fiction and fantasy, there's a few cats in SF. Heinlein comes to mind, and after checking, there's Pixel, Pirate, Petronius the Arbiter (aka Pete), Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Miss Polka Dot Ma’am (aka Miss Pokie), Dr.-Livingston-I-Presume, El Diablo, Mama Cat, and Mister Underfoot (some of these are excluded due to gender issues). There's Mr Jones in Alien. And there's also Greebo in various Terry Pratchett books. If he's scrabbling at furniture, how about Scrabble? And for the sake of your curtains and furniture, get a scratching post. Ours have a couple of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354335902612?var=623735626888 and there's very little scratching at furniture and gig bags.

Priorities, for heaven's sake.

F10 headless looks ugly as a singlecut, couldn't they have done a doublecut as well (and preferably 34" scale)? And the M6 is only available as multiscale. Not for me.

I don't think it would be loud enough. I have one, it's a great little thing for playing at home, but not really loud enough to make much impression. What will you be competing against? Melodeon, fiddle, guitar?

When I was younger, I did smoke some dope - I never mixed it with playing though. I also used to drink rather more than I do now, and I don't think that did anything positive for my playing. Nowadays, when gigging, I have either zero or one pint, and on open mics I'll have two pints (in context, this is over a 4 hour period).

What about the goat carcasses?

Pike. Then, if someone says to him "What your name?", you say "Don't tell him, Pike". Amend "him" as appropriate. Mine were all named after motorcycles. Spitfire, Hurricane, Tona (short for Daytona), Blaza (Trailblazer), Phoenix, Trophy, Bonnie. The current two are Pixie and Dotty (Pixie was named Penny by the shelter but Pixie suited her better), which have accidentally also corresponded with motorcycles - Ariel Pixie and the DOT brand.

Mrs Zero had hers done at the end of June last year, so I have some direct second-hand experience.

I'm not sure whether I'll be able to do this now - my hip replacement has been put back and is now April 23rd, so I don't know how mobile I'll be by 20th June.

Little Fear

One case of poor handling and that condemns AliExpress entirely?

Christmas Day was forced on me, I didn't want to spoil Mrs Zero 2's Christmas as I'm not a particularly cruel man. As for her dad insisting - another not-so-irrational prejudice of mine, I hate inverted snobs, which was exactly what he was. I was middle class and worked in a service industry, he wanted a horny-handed son of toil for his daughter, which was the boyfriend after me. Who ripped her off and screwed around, but a few years later, got his come-uppance: https://solihullobserver.co.uk/news/solihull-man-jailed-after-kidnapping-and-sexually-assaulting-teenage-girl/
