I was taking Zoloft for about a year and quit cold turkey. I was alright for a little bit. But I've noticed the need to get back to it.
I feel the same. I hate admitting that I need meds, even to myself. But it's just a fact of life.
I'm much happier with my 810 than when I had a 15 and a 410. Both were same company but having all tens sounds perfect. I thought I would lose lows, but like everyone says. It doesn't work that way. I feel my tone is thicker and better than ever. With just a few 10s!
My first stack was a fender 400 head (I think that's the number), a fender 410 and a fender 15. I know mixed cabs.
Now I run all ampeg. Svt 4 pro into a heritage 810.
Speaking of making use of techniques, this has been posted here before but it deserves a retake. Check this kid out...

I knew you had to have some skill to pull off playing successfully over seas and what not, but you truly are skilled. And like you said, whether or not you can still do it. It lives on in your soul and mind and memories. And thanks to your video, all can share in it. Props my friend.
A new fireglo 4003, will be my rickenbacker number 2. Happening as soon as taxes come in and I can't wait.
Then I'd like to see what's going on with Gibson grabber.
