Yes I am in demand to go out and play bass.Not to play guitar.So it is to work or not to work and I am a bassplayer,I belong to that elite club.Just because a guy is a good guitar player does not automatically make him a bassman.Most guitar players sound awful doing bass.It is a whole different ball game.Immediatly a bassist plucks with his fingers for power and tone.You run high gain and touch lightly.If you use a pick and it touches the pickup it makes an awful click!Oh I still get all of my guitar in at the studio.And rehearsals.I want to make a mark with it that is going to last forever.I am married to it you see.For better or worse.To play it in a bar is not that important to me.My concept of it is much more advanced that that.It is big money to me you see.A hundred bucks a night is not going to work for me there.My living for playing the guitar comes to me via royalties.
