You're supposed to use them for keeping bass straps attached, not as nipple ornaments.

The question is rather 'Is metal any good without them..?', to which the answer is 'No'.

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

Hence the expression 'a bed of roses', maybe..? (Wrong war; yes, I know, but the joke doesn't work, otherwise...)

Not in Leicestershire. In Paris, however...

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

Mmm... Tea..!

Mmm... Tea..!

I'm sorting out (by 'Hiding' an awful lot more 'Double Posts' than usual, in the Sections that I peruse. I suspect there are many others elsewhere. Just sayin'; it may all calm down once folks get used to things; meanwhile the Double (or more...) Posts abound.

But deaf folk would not clap; they'd 'wave' their appreciation...

How odd..! In this browser (Chrome, Windows 10...), 'Enter' provokes, now, a single line feed, whereby before, it was double. I preferred it to be double, using 'Shift + Enter' whenever I wanted a single line feed. Is it now double for you, @skankdelvar dear friend..? Can we swap, maybe..?

Whilst I'm here, I've another complaint, and not the least... Where have the 'power' and 'base' format options gone..? How to express 3ft2, or show binary numbers..? I can 'cheat', calling up the Windows Character set, and get 3 ft² (Alt 0178), but for 102 (2, in binary, base 2...) it's even more of a faff. Why have these formatting options been removed..? (Progress, eh..? More like regression, I say..! Can't leave a Good Thing alone; has to be tinkered with until all the qualities that made it Splendid have been squeezed out, 'dumbed down', all in the sacrosanct name of 'progress'. Progress my eye..! Harrumph..! ) Potters off to put the spuds on, can't find the kitchen door and wanders outside muttering to ... nobody...

Mmm... Tea..! (Bugger this new formatting; it doesn't understand mixed text and links..! )

I think they're like badges for Scouts, given randomly merely for attendance and/or lighting fires with woggles. It will probably evolve, with BC members squabbling over who has the most [insert puerile reason for squabbling over things here...], until The Admins get tired of all the complaints and return everyone to simple, modest 'BC Member'. That's enough, isn't it..? No..? Oh dear... ...

Clicking on the photo brought up a 'zoom' mode; it's 'Brawley Basses' on the headstock, but I don't know which model.

It's going to end up with an internal volume of one very silent cubic metre..!

Yes, you're right (again...), I think. Maybe @Waddo Soqable could go into Soundcloud and change the sharing of the file to 'Public'..? That's how all of mine are declared, there.

It shows up correctly for me (but then again, I always have been a bit special...).

S'not going to help with the 'strumming'.

42 seconds; couldn't get to the 'Pause' button any quicker.

It worked fine until yesterday, 09h00..!

'Chums' is already in the Smiley set; I use it in other Fora, and coupled with other text, which is why I have it saved in Imgur. You can remove the one you've added, as it's now in the BC collection twice. Just sayin'; you did good.
