My first ever bass purchase was a black Thunder 1A from Impact Music in Preston Road, sometime around 1985. The bloke that ran the shop was called Pete. Nice bloke.
Most very welcome Sir. 5 string Ernie Ball slinkys for my BEAD setup were £30 back in the day and I got through tons of them. I think I still have a stack of unused G strings somewhere (fnaar fnaar)

My Musicman Sterling Bass Guitar, circa 1995 for an entire year's student loan. Have played proper big gigs and recorded with it all over the world. Can be heard on various commercially available recordings. My baby 😁.

I am indeed aware of 'Maskirovka' but to suggest that only the Russians engage in such behaviour (and not us or the Americans, for example) is...
I genuinely don't care. Just because I engage with this thread doesn't mean that I agree with everyone who posts here, or care what their opinions are.
I'm not Russian, but any fair-minded person will tell you that the last line of your post is racist.
You just carry on rattling your sabre...
