Hopefully, our reward will be more than the ability to tell tales of life in the 2nd Depression. I'm not eating dirt yet, but we're not out of woods yet either. I hope I don't have to use my Ibanez for smashing zombie heads any time soon. A big, fat Gibson would work better for that.

I would recommend a Saiga 12 with a 50 round mag.

I am 57 and been married 27 years also. I lost my management job 2 years ago. Bummed me to no end. But I remained positive and got back into the local performing music scene. Back to being a weekend warrior and having more fun than I have had in years! The wife is supportive (always has been...where would I be without her!) and I am a LOT less stressed and the wife told me I seem happier and smile more now that I have in years!

I know the feeling about having to sell off a vintage axe that means a lot to you. Been there and done that! Years ago I had to sell my 64 P bass, my 66 P bass, my 73 P bass, my 70's Tele bass, a 60's vintage Hofner Beatle, a 69 Ampeg Dan Armstrong, etc. (Only mentioned this not to brag to maybe lessen your pain!)

Hang in there Bud! As mentioned by others, you have your health and the love of a great woman! Stay positive and keep pluckin away. That is a beautiful bass too!

GOD BLESS!!!

I know I'm not the only one, and that my problems are much less serious than millions of others. Thanks for the encouragement, and it's great hearing your life has come around.

Nice bass. Bless your heart and keep rocking. Seriously, to have the love of family and friends through those tough times are nothing short of absolute gifts. Thank you for sharing your story and a bit of your life with us here on this forum full of strangers and strange people.

Cheers and I hope someday you can get back your old bass.

Cheers, man. Times have been rough but it's nice to see people come out of it.

I hope the future is bright for you and your family. Enjoy your jam!

Well said!
