That amp is awesome. See my pic in #7 above. Everything from clean dark jazz to screaming metal.

Can you show me your 1x8" guitar amp?

The Summer of Rhythm Guitar 2024

I called which one was which on the warmoth demo. Ss are slightly more strident. It's less of an eq thing over recording.

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

There have probably been more major advances for people without the seemingly unlimited financial resources that appear to be the norm on this forum ;) : better (if not much better) cheap instruments...

Can you show me your 1x8" guitar amp?

These Dumble style amps are made for the solid body and semi hollow crowd. I used to own a real Dumble back in 1980. And it made my Strat and ES Artist model sound really Fat! Id venture to say...

Two Rock Bloomfield Drive vs Classic Reverb Signature - Fat Clean Tone

Glad to have another player join in! As you said learning them is relatively easy. The work is in getting them presentable as a piece of music that listeners can enjoy.

When Sunny Gets Blue - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #3

Small woofers handle high power. I use an Eminence Beta 8" with my Elf amp head. Sweet tone, 200W capacity.

Assuming you're stealing that for your jazzguitar I'd say you first, let's hear it (and don't cheat with a looper) ;)

Debussy it? Steal that classical lick!

I do the same thing. I find myself employing, with the LEFT hand the 'La Pompe' technique from Manouche style and aiming to play the top 3/4 strings for pure rhythm/comping and additional strings...
