More than enough for me. I'm just a home player.

I replaced my Ampeg 15 with this. I was shocked I didn't get any complaints. She only asked if I was going to sell the other one.

Thanks for the response. It sounds like you have a good thing going. It's nice to hear from other older relatives beginners!

Good points, thank you. At my last lesson I mentioned that I wanted to work on telling the difference between what's "part of the song", as he puts it, and what isn't.

Good points, thank you!

He did say when I first played for him that he didn't know why I was there, so I must be doing something ok
