Would your Razor's Edge work with a Universal Audio Dream 65? I assume the RE has a built in power amp? Thanks Doug
Sculpturing an artistic melodic line that weaves in and out of the changes seamlessly is how the the greats improvise. But, I think for mediocre mortals, like myself, it's better to try to play...
