Quitting Gigging

[BassAdder60]

Decision made bands and gigging are over and I’m quitting for good 

 

Gear up for sale and I will be adding two mint condition White Fender PBass guitars on here soon 

American Performer USA 

Player Series II With Rosewood neck

both with shipping possible 

 

Feel happier I’ve made that decision

As there are many threads around this topic (and some very recently) here, it would be a bit insulting to rehash any of those arguments here. If your decision is made and you're happy with it then I can only wish you well, and hope I can resist the basses when they turn up!!

Good luck Bassadder60. I hope things work out well.

@BassAdder60 When you know, you know.  Enjoy your ‘retirement’ 👍🏻

Sad when someone calls it a day, but if it feels good for you, then it is good.

[Lozz196]

Yep, when you know you know, hope all works out for you Martin

Cheers buddy 👍

I quit gigging at the end of 2019 but still kept two basses for recording projects, and I'm glad I did. We're all different though, and we all have different needs and wants.
 

I hope you're alright in your decision and are feeling okay with it. Best wishes 👍

When the fun stops, stop.

As others have already said "when you know, you know".

Hopefully you'll stay in touch thru our wee BC family. 

All the very best in whatever you do now.

I quit gigging but still found lots of enjoyment in learning music without any pressure. I still probably play bass 5-6 times a week!

Sad to here this BassAdder60 but wish you all the best with whatever you do next.

When I stop gigging, which will most probably be in the next couple of years, I will do exactly the same, sell everything, I have zero interest in hanging on to my gear and just playing at home, it’s quality gear and I would sooner see another musician benefit from using it.

[dmccombe7]

At 64 i expect i'll be in that position in a few  yrs too but i'll probably keep some of my gear just for sentimental reasons and i enjoy a bit of playing at home.
