  1. I've noticed a very small patch of "glossy" paint on the headstock right under the strings... not too bothered about it as I'm guessing it was something during the set up has rubbed against the paint. As long as it doesn't happen on the body ill be happy :)

  2. I reckon the matt finish (or any matt finish to be fair) will be suceptible to finger prints and the like if you don't wash your hands etc before use...

     

    Out of interest, how are folks cleaning there's? At the moment I'm just trying to keep dust off with a light wiping with a microfiber cloth

  3. This.

     

    Expect a silver finish as an almost dead cert, and as an outside chance, a red glitter finish.

     

    Even then I would expect the silver finish to be just paint opposed to any aluminium effect stuff...

     

    Guitar delivered whilst I was at work, on the bus home now to go and admire

  4. Was aware of this when it was released... back then I was a busy final year student so it slipped off the radar. But now I have a full time job! So i put my order in an hour ago!

     

    Despite what lots have said on here; I went for the MBK2 pickup and coil tap upgrades alongside schaller strap locks and since I could do with a new strap I got the red deluxe strap.

     

    Very excited to say the least! Will be getting rid of my Ltd EC-1000 once the MBC arrived - It'll be nice to get rid of the EMG's and have a nice set of passives.

     

    Anyone know what the protocol will be should the guitar arrive with issues (i.e cracked gloss etc)?

  5. Preordered the deluxe version yesterday afternoon - received the confirmation email pretty quick but have yet to get a download link for Psycho which is a bit disappointing... Ill hold out hope just now.

     

    Its a shame the FAQ section doesnt work... Ive sent a query through the contact us page but cant say im expecting much from that.

  6. Nearly time for the Christmass rush... Which means nearly time to out Christmas songs on the playlist...

     

    Favourite Christmas song has to be Oceansize's awesome twist on Walking in the Air so decided to cover...

     

    EDIT: Had to remix as the bass wasnt as strong as I'd have liked...

    Suppose I'll embed it this time.

  7. I was going tot say it sounded too trebly! :LOL:

     

    Really to get simon's tone you need single coils into a high gain amp with a fender deville clean blend. But then again we're not in arena filling rock bands :(

     

    Oh :(:LOL:

     

    Yeah, I'm thinking of getting a classic player 60s strat soon, which will replace a squire I've got who's pickups are so quiet it's hard to get a good rock sound

  8. My joint second favourite biffy album :LOL:

     

    Good cover... the tone isn't quite right, it's a little too fuzzy. Good muse tone, less good "pure" classic rock tone for biffy.

     

    Yeah I agree, it's also a bit bassy.

    Was trying for a big, wide sound but with mega it's hard to make it uncompressed. Plus i don't run 4 amps like Simon Neil :LOL:

  9. Mer Biffy lads.

    My amp has an attenuator in it too, but I dont find it sounds better when cranked, unfortunately I can't 'cause both my neighbours have small children and my room in right between them, plus I dont have a condenser mic to record so have to use the headphone jack which just means cranking the master volume which doesnt make a difference :(
