This'll be fun! Yes, I'm playing the acoustic through the D-350/115 with a Fishman preamp.

Thanks for posting about the new Falcons, I hadn't heard about them yet. I pulled up a demo video last night and watched it with my spouse. Now we have one on the way! Love the sound, love the feature set, love the look. I used to own a 1960 GA-8T with similar cosmetics.

I picked up another MVP a little while ago. The black '86. Just got the electronics back where they should be and it's super sweet sounding. Got me motivated to order some Bartolinis for the white '90.

A mix, but all paid. I just heard the official stats, 28 orchestra members and 23 cast members.

This is a big orchestra, with two bassists! The electric bassist is just out of the shot, stage left of the drummer. Flute 1 Flute 2 Oboe 1 Oboe 2 Clarinet 1 Bassoon 1 Bassoon 2 Horn 1 Horn 2 Trumpet 1 Trumpet 2 Trombone 1 Trombone 2 Tuba Percussion 1 Harp 1 Keyboard 1 Keyboard 2 Guitar 1...

Opening night last night: Jesus Christ Superstar at Elgin Community College. Biggest pit orchestra I've played with, and we're actually on the stage! The D-350/115 is the most comfortable I've ever been playing electric upright and blending with (mostly) acoustic instruments.

I know it's a long shot after two years, but do you still have the Pedulla tuners?

I would be surprised if they kept the 1/4" speaker out. Isn't that a newer restriction on EU sales? Didn't Quilter pull out of the EU market?

I've not seen many with the toggle switch, I wonder if that's the differentiator? Toggle with blend doesn't make as much sense as toggle with dual volumes. There I go, convincing myself.

Anybody really familiar with the early '90s MVP Standard wiring? I've had two (maybe the same bass twice) with replaced electronics, both had dual volumes rather than a blend. I'm talking with Bartolini to get pickups and a preamp and am not sure if I should convert to a blend control or...

Picked up another! 2000 MVP4 with soapbars.

Glad to hear you're doing well! I've been talking with Bartolini for a few weeks to get proper pickups and preamp for my "new" MVP. It's been a journey figuring out the pickup and preamp history. It seems that the only real info they have is for what was being used in 2019, so I've been pulling...

Love it! I had a Trace Elliott Velocette in a very similar color.

@Lance Bunyon whatever you do, don't plug both heads into the same cab at the same time! Even if one is turned off, you'll blow stuff up.
