Went kicking & screaming into modeling and had already purposed to return it and get my $$ back. lol... Never happened. I figured if Lincoln Brewster could make it work for him live so could i.....and I did. It actually fooled a lot of peeps who asked me things like "where is that Marshall top hidden?" While imperfect and a far cry from today. it was effective and I used it on every live appearance for about 4 years. Sold to help pay a medical bill at the time.
