New member with a new Y2D

[Geetarfreek82]

Hi all, my name is Noah and I am a long time lurker that finally joined the Music Man family by scoring a sweet new Purple Sunset Y2D this past weekend. Steve Morse is without a doubt my favorite guitar player, and I have wanted a Y2D since they came out and I have just finally got one after trying out about a dozen of them. It was definitely well worth the wait!

I am seriously considering getting a Tobacco Burst with a Floyd... I think it would look awesome with the Zebra Dimarzio Steve Morse pickups i have laying around in it

Currently my main amp is a '59 Fender Bassman LTD RI that i had gutted and rewired point to point to vintage spec using NOS components:

I also have a Crate V16 Palomino (made in USA), and a little 1962 Gibson Skylark GA-5. Up until recently my main rig was a 1994 Peavey 5150 through an Orange 4x12 cab loaded with 2 Celestion Greenbacks and 2 Vintage 30's...

I had to dump it though, at 110 pounds i just couldn't stand to lug that Orange cabinet around lol. I am currently looking for a more compact yet still loud high gain rig with decent cleans... Any suggestions??? I'm looking at either a new 6505 combo or maybe the new EVH 5150 III 50 watt head and 2x12 cab.

great top!

Thanks! I got her at the philly guitar show this past weekend, and out of the 4 Purple Sunset Y2D's i saw there, she was definitely the most attractive!

Nice one! One of the best guitars ever!!! Mine has been my number 1 for about two years now. Such a versatile and easy to play guitar. Must sound insane through the 5150...just like Morse used to have back in the days with DP.

 

[joe web]

congrats to this beauty! as Roubster said, one of the best guitars ever!
the top is awesome looking, love it!
a tobacco burst floyd would make it a nice double and would be vice versa to mine.

 

[guitarp77]

Damn, it is sweet.

Congratulations once again!!

I use the 6505+ (essentially the 5150) with my Y2D and it is unbelievable. There are alot of things that I prefer about its sound over my JP12. Definitely can get it done, so to speak!
