Absolutely! There's always a new piece, song, lick, trick, technique to learn. Search YouTube for Eliot Fisk, Joe Pass, Paul Gilbert. That's the stuff I look to and think, "Man! If I can just a handle on one of those licks ..." :)

I never stop trying to improve. And at any level of ability it takes time and effort just to maintain the chops.

It is a wonderful amp. It is a superior piece of craftsmanship from the design to the electronics, cab, assembly, aesthetics, the whole package is quite stunning. This amp perfectly fits my bias, my desired tone out of a machine in a lot of ways.

Years ago, I used various combinations of Marshall & Fender half-stacks. Either separately or together as the gig called for. The Marshall for clean-grit to full roar, and the Fender for ultra-clean to warm-gain, etc.

Reason's whole line is like having the perfect combination of both of those in one box ready to roll! If it was 20 years ago I'd be buying a half-stack from them. :) But since I'm old, boring and married, this Bambino is like having the perfect little scaled down hot-moded Marshall & Fender combo all in one box without having to mod anything!

I've just done some lessons with my black Strat with the Dimarzio HotRails humbucker. Wow, that is a monster tone. I'll get it in the work queue for editing and uploading soon.

Thanks for checking it out, Rick!
