    Human Gear Animato

    in Kit & Tab

    Posted

    Okay, I've decided rather than clutter up the Recent Purchases thread, I'll post here.

     

    So an Animato fell into my hands today. After band practice tonight I can say it's definitely a keeper. We tried it on guitar first. No. Just. No. On bass however with a LS-2 it was freaking sweet, with the dist and tone knobs at about 1 o'clock. It seems to have a really nice high end and keeps some body with the tone knob down and with the hot pickups, has quite a lot of distortion.

     

    I'm just going to stick it all in an imgur folder and describe it as I go along. I'm going to take some voltage values tonight when I get a chance. :)

    Do you plan on doing a schematic?

    How so? I haven't had any problems with cubase, except that it closes "unexpectedly" when I close it intentionally.

     

    This was a few years back but it seemed to crash randomly when there were a lot of VST's running.

    I recall Tom! found the guy (daniel bull) on Facebook a couple of years back when they were his pedals. He was surprised that they were still floating around apparently

     

    There isn't much information to be honest. He built pedals for maybe about 2 or so years back in the mid 2000s, and used to post here and sell through ebay.

     

    This pretty much.

    But I would probably argue that it isn't rare.

     

    All I'm trying to say is that with the cost you are asking, I would rather ring up Mansons, and have them build me an MB-1 to the spec I want. I would save money (though not much more but still) from getting it new from them.

     

    Don't get me wrong, I'd have to wait much longer to recieve it, but investment is investment at the end of the day.

     

    Look at it this way, when I saw you had one for sale I got a bit excited and considered it, until I saw the price... and location. All I'm giving you is feedback from the consumer perspective.

     

    They wouldn't build you an MB1 to your spec though. You can't even order a custom in that shape.

    Nope I never had the originals. I bought it for £200, I'm not sure if it was second or third hand (or more) when it got to me but it was in mint condition. It doesn't sound like a strat at all though. I would do some sound clips/video but it's not with me at the moment :(.

    hopefully his MB-1 won't end up like that pacifica!

     

    was that white strat of yours MIM or MIA? i recently bought this mid 90's MIM squier series (basically a MIM fender with cheaper hardware) fully intending to modify it... but it sounds really nice in its stock form for some reason. still need to change out a few parts due to wear and tear though

     

    MIM but it doesn't have stock pickups, I'm pretty sure it has Bareknuckles in it but I've never opened it up to check what they are. That guitar is the best guitar I've ever played, it plays itself.

    That's my guess too. The screws have springs which are compressed as they're screwed into the body, but I suspect that it was unstable without the additional support. It just seems like such an inelegant solution.

     

    The more I've studied this guitar, the more I'm convinced that Hugh just chucked it together. I suspect that he had this youngster coming in giving him a vague description of what he wanted, and Hugh just got it done as quickly as possible. Stuff like the big rectangular slot for the GK wires, and the piss poor routing on the P90 sort of suggests that Hugh had no idea that his creation would be seen by millions of people worldwide.

     

    I wonder at what point he realised that Muse were sort of a big deal?

     

    I've often thought this also. If he had had any idea how big and how much income that guitar and that man would make his guitar shop I wonder if he would have done things differently.
