When one dies, I'm not replacing it; we have too many cars the way it is.

I see you're from Kentucky, do you perhaps play bluegrass? Fun fact: I can get a bass fiddle, amp, amp stand, banjo, guitar, mandolin, and fiddle in my short little truck bed with a tonneau cover. Can fit the whole band in the cab but they're not happy for very long. I didn't think it was possible, but we did it. That's pretty utilitarian if you ask me.
Yep, I'm actually "from" Missouri - moved to the Bluegrass state 3 years ago but I've played bluegrass for about 15 years. Mainly guitar, but I fill in on bass when somebody else already has guitar covered.
