Once I finish teaching at the end of June it'll be all systems go.
I play a little jazz, a little classical, some originals, folk and pop etc.
Ibanez AFJ85 into a Roland of some sort (I have several). I've gotten many compliments about the sound of this set up.
In fact I receive many compliments about my playing. I am certainly no Joe Pass but I do play in time unless it's a rubato intro or ending.
Frequently I am grateful for all those that have complimented my sound or playing over the last few years. It helps to make it all worthwhile.

And I never found a drummer who could stay with it for more than one or two choruses before losing it, even with IEMs or great stage monitors.
