Jean-Luc Pickguard

Looks okay if you date it according to this guide: https://www.fuzzfaced.net/serial-numbers-stratocaster-japan.html

Ferrari in a Demolition Derby - Trembling Bells & Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

It doesn't create a good impression and may influence your future purchase decisions, so it doesnt make good business sense. I assume you bought it having seen online pics - did the pics show the grime?

The lovely minty green scratchplate is going I'm afraid

I couldn't resist the Andertons exclusive black fender vintera 70s hardtail stratocaster with custom shop '69 pickups so I placed an order over the weekend and it was delivered today. This is now easily my best sounding guitar - perfect with my GTX100 amp. It feels instantly familiar as the neck profile is very similar to my '72 reissue MIJ tele thinline. I wonder why a wiggle stick was included in the case candy though; I'll probably put that on ebay. I've already received a (genuine fender) black pickguard to go on it and I'm expecting a set of pickup covers, knobs & switch tip in black within a day or two.

Let's hear it for the Boycott - Deniece Williams

I believe the bass belonged to Del Palmer. It's a 70s Precision body with a 70s Jazz neck, a badass II & a bunch of other mods.

Hey Girl Don't Botham Me - The Tams

Freddy's Dead - Curtis Mayfield

Saturn - Sun Ra

Who Are You - The Who

Broadway Freeze - Harvey Scales & the Seven Sounds

"Requests can only be considered if they are submitted in writing on a fifty pound note"

The reply "We don't play that song, but the next one has some of the same notes in it" is often acceptable to a punter making an unsolicited request.

Bottoms Up - Van Halen

Acquiring the taste - Gentle Giant

Ain't no one here but us ducks

Jaco only needed four ...ducks for cover

Buy My Album - Harry Nilson

The white one looks rather nice as well

Weird - I just checked on my iPhone and it displays fine

The Bottomless Hole - The Handsome Family

This looks cool https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/fender-fullerton-precision-bass-uke-wn-tspg-3-color-sunburst If I didn't already have a very nice kala which I hardly get the chance to use I'd probably be tempted by one of these.

Shared ownership of gear isn't worth the hassle. I'd look for any solution other than that even if its one person buys a mixer amp and another buy speaker cabs etc. Also if your instrument isn't amplified by the PA, and you don't use a mic for BVs, the PA is not your problem.
