Boots; where else..? (OK, maybe a car boot sale..! )

Finger buttons. They're called finger buttons, although some will say 'valves', others 'pistons'.

10/10 for that; it fits my present mood perfectly, so thanks. In my head I was taking it in different directions. Splendid resolution on fade out. Good Stuff; I approve. I'll listen to the other later; it doesn't do to try to assimilate too much at a time.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Maybe a bouquet would help..?

Would that I be so lucky..!

Jealous..? Me..? You betcha..!

The way I read this, it would appear that you're suggesting (and therefore agreeing...) that, with mass-produced instruments, which most of us play, there is, indeed, no reliable way of telling from tone alone what the finger-board is made from, nor the body, nor which strings are used etc. It may be, in esoteric isolation, that expert ears can identify woods, and hone the instrument to the way required; not many players are concerned, I'd suggest. For an enormous chunk of the population of the planet, including a vast number of bass players of all persuasions, a bass is a bass is a bass; end of story. A light-coloured or darker neck is, I maintain, about as important as the material used for the strap. Leather, nylon, string..? Not such a big deal as all that. Disclaimer: I'm a drummer; what would I know..?

Good afternoon, Membo, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. (... but you knew that anyway, didn't you..? )

And the winner is... Bleat..! Here, then, is your Winner's Certificate (download and save as pdf file, then proudly print and frame...) ... BC_Chal_Cert_2018_01.pdf ... which looks like this (but bigger, of course..!)…

Sorry, my fault. I'll try to be better for next month.

Lateral thinking... Any mileage in persuading the Other Half that basements make ideal office spaces; that they are the 'new black'..? Make it cosy enough down there to have SHMBO want to relinquish 'her' space in favour of your basses..? Just a thought.

PM sent.

Good evening, Nrthnr, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good afternoon, Yaumegui, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

I hear shades of NIN in there. Well done; thanks for sharing. An earlier entry in next month's Challenge, eh..?

Good idea. Which row..?

None here, either. I'm not keen on any notices at all, in fact.

Good evening, Sara, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good evening, Dave, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Aha..! Kick-a-Richard..! Makes much more sense now; thank you.

When you type 'can', is that really 'can' as in 'tin can', or is it another euphemism I've not yet heard of..? That's the trouble with all this slippage; once the basic rules are gone, there's no foothold, so it all goes to pot. If it continues, we're doomed as a species. Doomed, I tell'ee; doomed.
