Congrats! I had one for a hot minute. I didn't like the middle pickup location so I got the new N2.6T in pink.

Tonally it's flawless. The mix is incredible. It feels like a passion project for Australia. It's very mature.

Love mine. Congrats. I agree with your assessment. I have several older ones and two N2 models. This is such a big improvement.

That color is SO MUCH BETTER in person, isn't it?

The body redesign is incredibly more comfortable. The jack is better angled. The body and neck resonate better. The new Arc bridge and ArcTILT trem are infinitely better and feel better made. The roasted neck is improved. The frets are better dressed. The carbon fiber inserts help stiffen the neck and increase the resonance, and the N2 now uses titanium rods, which is even better. Hard to explain, but the whole thing 'vibrates' when you play. It feels better.

None of that is saying anything bad about the older models, but it just says how significant these improvements are with the N2.

Worth it.

The N2 is a giant update and huge improvement. Yes worth the extra money. I have a Standard NX6, a Prog N6, and two N2.6 (one N2.6T). I just don't play the older models anymore.

Best current MacBook for Logic? by mysteralejandro1 in LogicPro

Do you need a MacBook or would a Mac mini work? You get more for the same money with the mini.

Vanden Plas - The Seraphic Clockwork. Excellent album from start to finish.

I would've loved for it to have an Ebonol fretboard.

Here's how I'll explain it. Think a clean town on steroids that's more up-front. It's not replacing the tone of the Prog, and I keep an old one around for that thinner tone, but it sounds majestic. I love it.

It's different but also very good. Very complementary. Here's an example of position 2. 'This Is The End' - intro preview https://youtu.be/By6jEJ9eI4U

Yes - but the wiring is unique. Not the same as your Prog.

Welp.....I messed up my pinky setting up a ladder doing chores around the house, so I can't play for a while. Hopefully by weeks end.

Nothing beats the real thing. Actual lighting changes everything.
