Nah, such brain stretching  is a way to realise you are too old for your own good .... had no idea about this one.

Over 500 views but only one correct answer and very few attempts.  C'est la vie.  I thought that last clue would make it obvious that all the players in my team share a surname with a bass guitarist. 

The meaning behind each clue:

1.  The answer looks fishy.     A type of fish is the bass which looks the same (but is pronounced differently).

2.  Usually 4 - but not always.  Bass guitars usually have four strings, but sometimes have five or six.

3.  Fred BASSet cartoon.

4.  Perks.  Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman was born Bill Perks but changed his name.

5.  Jason McCartney.   A blatant nod to Beatle Paul McCartney who played bass in the band.

 

Here now is the team with the bass players' names:

B:        Ron Carter     Bootsy Collins     Ray Brown

H/B:    Dee Murray     Dave Holland     Donald 'Duck' Dunn

C:        Kim Gordon     Mike Mills     Bruce Thomas

H/F:    Willie Dixon     Mark King     Lewis Johnson

F:        Cliff Burton     Jack Bruce     Geezer Butler

R:        Geddy Lee     Marcus Miller     John Paul Jones

I/C:     Esperanza Spalding     Berry Oakley     Stu Cook     Stanley Clarke

I'm looking forward to a real one: great violinists, cellists, conductors, none of this pseudo music junk...

Who am I? I got into trouble in 2022 for being too Franz Lizst at a restaurant in Prahran.

Let me guess, if I may? 

Our daughter has nominated this same restaurant as her birthday celebration event later this month.

Welcome to the 'Annoyers Club', PD!

You're allowed to set up your own thread (though I'm sure @Demonstone is flattered!)

Meanwhile, 🤔

Timothy has cracked it!  

I'll leave it open for a while for others to ponder.

Oops......seems it's been done before.

All Melbourne Cup winning jockeys. 

OK, at the risk of WCW letting down my car tyres, I will work on something a bit more unique.

Good remembering @WalkingCivilWar. I'd hope PD would faithfully report that my PM-ing showed I didn't recall it, but, 'post-race', I do realise I felt a nag-ging feeling when it finally came to me... As I did when selecting my Norm Smith coached team. Though that has seemed to prove to be not the case!

It was actually Demonstone who advised me Timothy (very graciously I might add). WCW was mentioned only to ensure I meet the EFFS test. I fear your Norm Smith puzzle may put you at risk. 😰

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
