| I definitely think you should take the plunge! I got my first grand Stick half a year ago and by now it has taken the place as my favorite instrument, although I have to sometimes use other instruments depending on the job.

| Prepare for some great fun, GR has a wonderful built-in signal routing capability! Learn to handle it creatively as soon as possible and you will be rewarded (although "checking out other's presets" can be fun and also educational if you analyze the routing that makes up the sound). Two th... |
