Get a Tascam GB-10 trainer. All problems solved.My neighbours have complained about my bass practice. They were ever so polite about it, so I knocked the session on the head. I'll either use headphones, or set it up to play through the computer and keep the amp and cab for gigging

If that's sufficient, great. But you get pitch change, tempo change, section loop for fiddly bit learning, built-in effects, etc etc. And unlike my older one, uou can record uour efforts too. You can already do that via the Behringer and Audacity or similar, of course. I bought an interface for remote work during lockdown. Unused...

RIP another great bassist: Francis Rocco Prestia.
From the San Francisco CBS local: 'Inspired by bassists like Motown’s James Jamerson, Prestia developed a style of playing that utilized a mix of “staccato 16th notes, ghost notes and muted left hand techniques,” according to Bass Musician Magazine. Prestia and drummer David Garibaldi became the band’s rhythmic backbone for its hard-driving funk sound....
His syncopated style would prove to be a substantial influence on other bass players during the 1970s, most prominently Jaco Pastorious, who incorporated Prestia’s approach in his own busy contrapuntal playing.'
With David Garibaldi, an incredible rhythm section in a great band - Tower of Power.

Lovely guitar.
I used to struggle with Teles - heard too many set up with a treble that would shatter glass.
Hearing Robben Ford play a 1960 Telecaster completely changed that - how could it have such a fabulous tone?
It was good to get rid of that prejudice.
