Write out the arrangements and place them in front of each player. On music stands. I'll get me coat...

Place the largest band member horizontaly and stack the remainder on top in decreasing order of size. Oh, wait...

There is one, I think it's called 'The Internet'.

Bought a power supply from Sean, it was swiftly despatched and arrived well packed and in excellent condition

I'm puzzled by Apple's business model for iTunes. Each new version is more buggy and less intuitive than the one before. I am a long time Mac user, and I don't know of any software that is more sh!t than iTunes.

Precision > Demeter head > BF cabs(s) For skinny-string I have 3 different pedalboards (only use 1 at once), but I like my bass to sound like a bass, specifically a Precision. I also live in a cave and wear animal skins.

My latest acquisition. I went out looking for a Les Paul Junior, and came back with this Palir Titan. In the shop ([url="https://worldguitars.co.uk/"]World Guitars[/url], Stonehouse) it was the one I couldn't put down, which is always a good sign - it hasn't disappointed since I brought it home.

Using a signal generator on my iPad, my ears can detect up to 12kHz (left) and 10kHz (right). But when I listen to music on my rather good stereo (Kenwood amp, Mission speakers) I can't tell that here's anything missing, so I guess the brain adapts pretty effectively. I've been using hearing protection when performing/rehearsing for quite a few years now, but I obviously didn't start soon enough!

Just been listening to 1996 re-master of Deep Purple's album Fireball, and inside are 3 pics of Roger Glover toting a Mustang. Here's one: Took mine out on a blues gig on Saturday and it worked really well, especially as stage room was very limited!

I think anything that broadens your musicianship is going to be good for your playing.

My balls are different sizes - would that qualify? [size=2]Obviously I'm referring to my football and my tennis ball.[/size]

When I was in the market for a serious bass amp (2000, give or take) I tried a Trace 2x10 combo, probably with a 7-band graphic. I could not get rid of the over-bright sound, or dial in any warmth. Went to the next shop and tried an Ashdown ABM500 2x10 combo, and there it was. I ended up buying the 1x15 version, and gigged that for at least 10 years. (I didn't become dissatisfied with the Ashdown until I bought a TC450 head pretty much on a whim, and realised how much the Ashdown had been masking the funky mids that I could suddenly hear.)

I play bass in a country band (mix of trad and modern) and I use a P with flats (occasionally a Mustang), but that's just my preference. As others have said, the way you accompany the song is much more important.

Although I can play with a pick (I migrated from guitar), I now hardly ever do. Even the songs that I used to think needed a pick, either for the sound or the speed, I now play finger style. So enjoy playing your way, and if some day you are drawn to the plectrum, give it another go then.
