I often play standing up at home, depends how the mood takes me. I have my strap length pretty much the same length for standing or sitting, so no deviance there (or very little). However, the OP needs to sit, so let’s help with that.

I bought one of these years (over a decade in fact) ago, it does the job very well, in that it makes you sit upright and in a dissimilar upper body position to standing. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/bergmund-bar-stool-with-backrest-oak-effect-gunnared-medium-grey-s99384706/#content However, a guitarist I once worked with did his back in and bought something along these lines https://www.thomann.de/gb/gator_frameworks_gfw_gtr_seat_with_stand.htm. You can get cheaper ones without the back rest from Stagg, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stagg-GIST-300-Guitar-Stool-Stand/dp/B00FMK9N38

Salesman snake oil. Short scales have more pronounced fundamental and less harmonic overtones, which is why they, on the whole, track better with the likes of octave pedals, etc. So they are more bassy and less guitar like. Lee is wrong. I watch quite a few Anderton’s videos and, as much as enjoy them, they are all plainly sales pitches. Everything is amazing and brilliant and… oh, just buy one!

I seem to remember that there is a Rick Beato video where he quantises John Bonham - it’s all kinds of wrong feel-wise. -

This argument seems to raise its head about once a month in one form or another. There are those who subscribe to the wood makes a huge difference and those who believe that it either doesn’t or that it is so minimal in the grand scheme of things, as to be inconsequential. No one ever moves from their entrenched positions, as far as I can see. With that in mind, I’m afraid that this is a case of, move along, nothing new to see here.

You have £300 and you HAVE to buy a new bass today…..

A solid choice, but doesn't fit the brief due to the time scale... -
Every one a good reason to give them a wide berth. You’re not wrong about the set up either. Fortunately, once done, they don’t need revisiting that often, if at all.

Before owning my 4003s, I’d have probably agreed with you, as previous examples at shows had been disgracefully set up - see not at all. However, when I picked one up many years later (just to check my previous experiences) I was blown away and I had to have it. TBH, if it hadn’t been so heavy and my ageing frame so sore, I’d still have it (same goes for my EBMM Stingrays).

There’s a video (on SBL I think) of George saying how most people play it wrong, Pino included.

The bass lines to Cissy Strut and Sneakin’ Sally Through The Alley are iconic.

Down for series, up for the other 2. -
Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you. We followed this up by recording Don’t Give Up, but the lockdowns ended and people in the collective started gigging and teaching again, so we never got around to making a video to accompany it, which is a shame, but great that the other folk are back out there and busy. There is talk of putting the music to a generic video image, but even this seems to be taking time.

Danny’s tone is just to die for IMO. I first became aware of him when this sound emanated from a friend’s hifi…

The original version of this song always makes me happy and playing it even more so. It was a privilege to be asked to play on this and a delight to record and film. It’s not a hard line, but that doesn’t matter to me.
