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!

Thanks for all the welcomes guys... I love this forum!!!

Big Congrats on your new Y2D and welcome onboard!
What amp are you playing it through?
Richb

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.

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.

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. ;)

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!
