A party piece should be a tune very one knows really, that’s why Simon Fitzpatrick’s let it go arrangement is so brilliant. Once upon a time I learned super Mario on bass like this: It tended to be my audition piece. -
A lot of guitar players influenced my younger years - mainly Angus Young but also Nile Rogers. These days I love a good horn section and favourite sax player is Bob Reynolds.

I wouldn’t sleep for that week

It’d be good if it stays in the UK. I suspect it will have collectors worldwide scrambling for funds.

I forgot about the open B 😂

Nothing to do with talent (does that even exist?), you just need to know your fretboard and scales/ chord tones. It’s only 4 extra notes 🙂 I’ve got my first fiver in 10 years and I’m really enjoying playing through the songs I’ve avoided to learn in that time due to lack of string. Plus the budget choices now compared to ten years ago is insane.

You can get perfectly good German made Warwick’s that are 20 ish years old. The only difference being the necks are chunkier. But to answer your question, it completely depends. Some basses will be played on occasion at home, others will be gigged 3-4 times a week all year round. Have a look at it and check for pitting and ensure the trus-rod turns. Also switchjacks often go on Warwicks.

For me, its value would depend on if it plays well and sounds good. From this era there was just as much rubbish as good.

What you’ve described is the difference in sound between maple and rosewood fingerboards. The pickups would have been an iteration of the US pickups used at the time, although now I believe they give them a vintage voicing.

I’m guessing the shower is for washing away your sins after playing electric guitar? 😁

It’s width at the nut. There are three; A,B and C the widest.

I don’t even own an amp anymore. Always bass into interface into MacBook and out in headphones. Used the same setup for around 10 years.

The original Phil Jones Bass portable interface. All the specs and features are online, but this is a fantastic bit of kit, one I’ve never made the most of. Everything is in very good condition. Only mark I can see is a slight white scratch on the top, which you can see if you zoom in on the photo. Comes with cloth bag, jack to jack and USBC charging cable. £100 + postage or collection from Alsager. -
Changed my mind! I want this one. Don’t see many with an A neck and the tone is perfect. https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/bass-guitars/products/1974-fender-precision-bass-black

It wouldn’t be the same price if it did though. You never know the new pickups might make it a much better bass. I’d love one in this kind of condition.
