Well, with no job you might need to reconsider returning to gigging, At least it puts food on the table.

Playing live has gotten me through some tough times. I'm very fortunate in that I only play for fun now, but things are looking up around here. Best of luck to you.

Thx for the uplift ...We're starting to get some gigs roll back in...that will help. It will feel weird not having a 410 thump at my legs
I'm going to shop for a really good stage monitor and just use that, the one I use for vocals can't handle adding a bass through it.
