Here you go.

YouTube - Music Man Y2D Bridge Pickup through channel 3 of Steve Morse Engl amp

I'm still getting used to the 9s and the 12 inch radius, but you'll get the general idea.

cool video! thanks for sharing!

Joe for some reason though you have 4 JPs I always had the feeling the Y2D was your main player, I think I will be right pretty soon though.

don´t want to hijack! just a short answer:
i´m a longtime DT fan and so i bought my first JP (the mystic dream) back in 2005, 6 month later i bought my first Y2D (ps-floyd) for playing with my cover-band, the Y2D fits better for the music but i had a progband for about 2 years or so and there was the JP the best guitar to play with....the finish of the blue dawn is awesome and so i bought my second JP...and the DDII - nice as well and not available on a Y2D...so go for another JP....and yes a BFR JP is the king!
the BFR and Y2D are my main guitars right now, but overall the Y2Ds get more play-time because of the different sound of the hardtail Y2D....the DDII and the 2007LE are hanging on the wall most of the time. the MD-JP is tuned to dropped D for some tuff-stuff things and for 65% of our setlist i play the Y2Ds and 25% the BFR the other 5% is dropped D on the regular JP.

but i´ll add a piezo brigde to my hardtail Y2D the next weeks and maybe there will be more play-time on this instead of the BFR...but often it is my mood, which lets me decide which guitar gets play-time.

what i like with the Y2D is this solid rock-sound you get with it. the JPs are more heavy sounding to my ears.
and sometimes i pickup my good old EVH - which was my main guitar for 10+ years.

My debate is, will I need the 4th pickup that is on the Morse standard or will the Y2D be enough. Anyone have both or maybe decided to keep one over the other? Richie's clean video really shows of the tones and style that I'm into especially using the right hand fingers a lot in my playing... What will that 4th pickup add?

Here you go.....you'll get the general idea.

Fantastic, thanks!

Exactly what I was looking for.

Love it!

Great Y2D and nice demo Ritchiesos. Congrats on the new Morse man!

 

[Richiesos]

Thanks. I'm getting set up for 10's. Hopefully that will make it feel a bit more familiar.

Thanks. I'm getting set up for 10's. Hopefully that will make it feel a bit more familiar.

hope that works for you. I tried them all with mine 10s then 9s then i tried the way steve morse does his strings but after all that i settled on 11s it felt the best to me.

Very cool vid richie....

 

[straycat113]

Nice demo Rich, I was looking hard to see if you had a seat belt on as it looked like you were fighting from flying out of the chair any minute lol.

Joe thanks for the break down on your axes as I always admired your herd.

Too much GAS inducement in this thread..please....lock...........PLEASE!!

(If it sounds this good on this lowish volume (guessing it's lowish, I can hear the pick hit the strings quite clearly), it must sound mind-blowing on gig volume!)

 

[Richiesos]

I'll let you know when I use it on a gig. I'll try to get some vids of that up, but I'll probably end up using the Axis, because that's my security blanket.

 

[Mark-NL]

I meant the amp, because it's obvious that any EBMM sounds mind-blowing at any volume
