Beautiful lush green countryside.
The allergy part was the reason I left, figured it would only get worse as I got older and I was already nearly debilitated half the year. Haven't had any real allergy issues here in SoCal yet.
Pretty beaches, I love how far you can wade out and how warm the water is compared to west coast beaches.
Awready retired and I like this area(Stuart, FL), but probably Mt. Dora, FL-a little north of the Mouse's house.
Pretty soon Nevada will be able to say that.
Dang! I got that much with my 87 F/L C350. Loaded.Since we're keeping it to the US......I like Sacramento
Probably here 'til the end, barring unforseen circumstances.
My old '69 Coronet got 7-8 or so, but by the time I had fiddled with it for several years, it wasn't stock any more. Hot-rod 440s aren't exactly fuel efficient, especially in a car shaped like a brick
Yeah, but cool lines for a brick.

There is one in the music room, but whipping out a baby grand is asking for a sprain.

That is a part of living in Ohio I don't miss. Allergy season is pretty bad at times here, too, but there is more to make up for it.
One of the few bad things(aside from hurricanes, gators, mosquitos, humidity, tourists, etc.)is that allergy season is 1/1-12/31.

I honestly need to see more of this world, like New Zealand and Scotland for example........
For what I know right now it would be Pt Angeles, WA. it's a small (but not too small) town surrounded by beauty, it's affordable, has a music scene, good food, nice people.......So that's the plan for Frank and I.
We used to call 'em Shovettes - coz you know, they needed a little extra shove to get going..
I drove a Chevette once...We used to call 'em Shovettes - coz you know, they needed a little extra shove to get going..

When I was growing up in TN in the '70s-'80s, I think that's why some people had kids - so they could get out & push to help their car up the hills....
(not a joke, either)

First gig with the GrecoBird done and dusted! A mind blowing local instrumentalist named Robbie Crowell pretty much insisted I buy one (he even found this one for me!) because he considers them to be way better than a Gibson. Let’s find out 
Pros- this one is personal, but this bass sounds a lot like my beloved Fano JM4 that was recently stolen. I’m glad to have that sound back! Very punchy bass.
It looks pretty nice.
It plays pretty nice. Plays as nice as my Fano or Gibson TBird? Well, no. But it does play nicely.
Cons- it’s a bit heavier than the Gibson, but not terribly and I’m not really that sensitive about that sort of thing.
Big Con- Neck Dive!!! My Gibson has no neck dive at all. Not even a tiny bit. I might try to experiment with strap button location, but it’s kind of a drag. We’ll see. My NR has some neck dive and I just kinda got over it, so maybe that’ll be the case here.
Gotta get some strap locks and ditch the Rotos that are on it, but bottom line is it’s a good looking and great sounding bass!

Can't go wrong with an L2000.
My first brand new bass was a G&L L1000 the first year they came out. Great bass! Would love find another early 80’s L1000 for the right price

If outside of the US?
