Check you are going into an XLR line input and not an XLR mic input - it may be switchable.

Truss rod plug looks black so Mex or Squire?

Use the DI - balanced XLR to Behringer XLR input - you then have the Ashdown's excellent EQ and compression.

DI from the amp to the U2 will allow use of the EQ on the amp (what amp?) - bass direct may sound a bit thin. Do a test recording using both methods and see which you prefer...

Those that spring to mind are the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop one Mustang Bass - Seymour Duncan Custom Shop the Nordstrand NM4 Mustang Replacement - Nordstrand Audio and the two Novak ones Mustang Bass – Fat – Curtis Novak Classic Pickups

All you basses are belong to us!

This with a wee cushion on it... FROSTA Stool - birch plywood - IKEA Perfect height (thighs almost horizontal with feet flat on the floor) and can be stacked when not in use...

Ouch.... hard to watch. STFU guys, more playing less ignorant gabbing.... sheesh.

Green wire will need to touch tone pot body.

The Harley Benton kits on Thomann are good, and cheap... Harley Benton Solder-Free DC Patch Cable Kit – Thomann UK Have to add 20% VAT now?

Playing parcel cricket?

I put a strap on an instrument and leave it on there. Only comes off for major maintenance etc. So, every guitar gets a strap. This is the way.

Presonus Eris 4.5 Presonus Eris E4.5 Near Field Active Studio Monitor (Pair) (dawsons.co.uk) £165.00 - they were a bit cheaper recently - hard to beat at the price

My newest Pinegrove Leather strap arrived yesterday This will go on my Yamaha Revstar RS502 6 string due to arrive beginning of Feb.

It's usually because the red stain has faded; it's the same with burst colours - red is the first to go.

The D'Addario mini one https://www.daddario.com/products/accessories/tuners/micro-headstock-tuner/ sits nicely on the back of the headstock below the E tuner... easy to see for the player. It's a bit fussy about reading low E - needs a harmonic ping.

Yes, run as dual mono or in bridge mode mono, if the amp does this.

LOL. I also dispute the "Perfectly Balanced" bit...

OK, so today I got down to some serious solstice string changing... Put new Rotosound RS66LD RWs on the Precision. Oooh that sounds nice again. Put LaBella 760FS flats on the PJ. Tuning up, first stretch and KaTwap! - ball end of the E ricochets around the room... So I now have a three string PJ. Can't seem to get a single LaBella anywhere... ? Well I'm certainly not stumping up for another set of these - they're not cheap. 😞 So just ordered D'Addario ECB81 XL Chromes on Amazon - say they'll deliver tomorrow, fingers crossed.

If you're recording solo guitar and not guitar to for use in a mix, then try a live room/space with a high ceiling and a nice open ambience. Mix close mic and room mic to taste.

JMJ or s/h MIJ all day long...

Orangey red.

Absolutely flippin' lovely! I have a 1988 and had a 1979 (bought new). Really great basses.
