No, it's fine for you to buy a fake bass yourself - just be a control freak and complain like an idiot on the forums when it comes to people doing what they like with their own property.
Yes! But I'm sure I don't deserve any awards for helping the homeless, though. I would choose: 'Discreet, a bass player.' Er... that's it. I've done various different things to make a living, but I've been playing bass for forty-odd years.
