Before i started driving i was in a touring band. I play bass and have been shopping around for a cheap acoustic one to travel with. I have a Musicman Stingray HH, but i dont feel good about bringing that in my truck with me. I enjoyed playing shows but not all the other things that came with touring. There are some similarities between trucking and touring. The biggest difference though is getting PAID to drive/work! Making money through music was never easy. I had some great times that ill never forget though.

Yep, there can be a lot of "free labor" with trucking or gigging, unless you got the right trucking job or music gig!
When I was at the end of my gigging career, I was playing jazz gigs and finishing up before midnight - no johnny twelve pack bar scene gigs ... Gigging at a bar from 9-1am for $150 or less, not counting setting up and packing up gear, playing John Mellencamp and Skynyrd tunes, is for the birds. I'd rather play jazz at a country club or hotel for 3 hours and make more money.

I'll take that Stingray off your hands if you're going OTR! You won't be needing it ....
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
My three basses, tenor sax, and steampunk Fender and amp are still in storage more than a year after starting. Hoping to get organiz-ized this year so I can at least get the acoustic bass guitar on the truck, or the sax. I just can't find room or time for both.
Meanwhile, I sing a lot. Better than nothing.
Sorry 6 strings I'll be holding onto that bass forever lol. I do miss playing live music, but a fulfilling career feels pretty great.
