If they're travelling that far with all their gear, I doubt they'd just play one show. Might be worth keeping an eye on the week around it for different places?
Yea I would think the same... but kind of odd how this is going on so far. All we know is a Toronto Radio station is doing a contest to attend this gig, but it includes air fair which means the gig obviously isn't in Toronto, but it is some other big city. You'd think they would do a contest for the local Toronto show if there was going to be one. No word of any other stations doing a contest for any small club shows either.

So James... NA small club Muse show in a 'Big City' probably may 9th. I'm hoping it is NYC...
-
Yea I'm going to want in on the PCBs!

Does anyone know the fuzz used for Matt's guitar in Dead Inside? Sounds like the same effect he used during The 2nd Law tour.
Dead Inside totally caught me off guard, after Psycho, but once I got passed what I expected, fantastic 80s vibe jam.

That seems like more hassle than actually learning chords
Can only play songs that are all Major chords, or all minor... Sneaky though, for someone who doesn't play guitar, they think wow this is a great cheat system. Then they buy it and realize fuck, all these songs I love, I Can't learn cause they don't use all one chord type.
Edit: Guess you could jump up and down the neck using 5th string roots for minor, and 6th string roots for majors, but damn thats a pain... overall dumb invention

Also, the MIDI assignments are different I think?
This is a crucial factor for some. There is no global On/Off signal for the 5/DT. Each program has a different code to be sent for on and off, making it harder to interface with a touch pad. If you aren't doing MIDI in that sense, it wont be an issue for you.

I purchased from JAParts, they don't carry anything, but instead they deal directly with Gotoh. So you can order anything from their catalogue, any style, with any button, in any color with any features (locking, HAP, etc).
-
apparently he bought two of those stacks... will they look like this by the end of the tour?
and yeah, it was one of those new customs he threw at the amp yesterday.
I wouldn't be surprised if the actual head sitting on top of the stack is a prop, along with the cabs partially. Generally Muse has always had fake amps on stage, sometimes they have been turned on/off as a monitor or for feedback, but not as the main source of his sound.
-
So what's on Matt's guitar in the new video?
I noticed that too... some questionable little black box where a XY pad would usually go... It appears to stick up above face of guitar...
Did anyone ever figure out what the box on the back of the headstock of the glitter 7 string was?

Oh shit... psycho is available on iTunes
It is fucking glorious
-
Anyone know if they're still taking orders that can be shipped out in the near future? Or whether i'd have to wait a few months? Decided I might pick one up with a sustainer in it as I'm gonna buy an Axe Fx and fuck it, I've got money left so why not pick up one of these as well
They've sold out until June/July I believe is what it said on the Manson website.
-
Damn, something's been announced but I can't link it because the main site has crashed
UK Psycho Tour, tickets already went on sale. Album June 8th, first single 'Dead Inside' March 23rd.

Neil....
We still know nothing
We now know this!

I had an Epiphone one at some point..
I hated the thing and got rid of it. I ordered this one on impulse due to the price, figured if I still didn't like it I could flip it and make a few bucks on it. Turned out just loving the thing, can't put it down now.
And James, yea I want those kind of tuners. I have a set of Grover vintage tulip tuners on my les paul, they work great. I could drop in another pair of those, or possibly the Gotoh ones, since so far I've had great tuners from them.
-
That's weird. Maybe it's just the truss rod cover that says 50's tribute, and was a left over from a 50's tribute LP?
Nope was an actual run of 50s SG tributes that Gibson did. They stamp the back with prototype to be able to explain why there is a 50s tribute to something that didn't exist in the 50s ha. It was released alongside the 50s tribute LPs which also had P90s.
Need to find myself some Ivory tulip tuners for it, hate grover kidney beans.
-
nice one, what model is that one exactly? I'm really not a fan of any of the current ones they're doing, but I've mainly looked at LPs so far.
sort of unrelated, but I played a 70's SG not long ago and liked it a lot. Through the old Marshall they had, it was pretty much instant AC/DC. Sorry you couldn't be there, Witz
edit:
I'm pretty sure this was the exact guitar.

Its a 50s Tribute, funny enough, SGs didn't even come out until 62 iirc. It has a 'prototype' stamp on the back of the headstock since it wasn't a real thing yet. Beautiful 50s neck, and the P90s are great. I couldn't say no to that price! It's a 2013 too, I cannot stand anything in the 2014/2015 lines.

Picked up this guy earlier this week.
Got it for $399, couldn't resist, and plays like a dream.
-
I just watched this yesterday, pretty solid. The thing I love about Royal Blood doing a cover, is that they completely make the song their own, because they have no other option with just the two of them.
It is cool when other bands cover a song, but doesn't do much for me when they just sound like a general bar band cover. Takes it to a whole new level when someone takes a piece of music, and makes it their own.
-
They use wilkinson tuners they told me. Do you think a string tree will solve it? I will probably purchase some 510 HAP from Manson and change them. I fear the wilkinson ones will be unstable, forcing me to tune it every minute.
I'd expect them to be stable, at least reasonably. It takes a pretty terrible tuner to be that unstable. Often some tuning stability issues also comes from a poor quality bridge/nut.
The HAP tuners will resolve your need for string trees. Strats/Teles all have string trees for a reason, because without then, there isn't enough of a break angle over the nut. Gibson gets away with it because they have the tilted headstock.
When I was building my MB-1 Replica, I didn't even know the HAPs existed, so I bought just a standard pair of Gotoh tuners. High E sounded terrible, ordered the HAPs and it resolved everything.
-
Well they´ve been kinda slow, but I guess its because of christmas/chinese new year etc. It has been routed and drilled. Only missing the electronics and fine tuning. Will show you the final pictures when I receive the HQ pictures from them.
Looks like they use stock tuners, and you might end up needing to replace them with HAP ones or get string trees. When I did my build, I tried with standard tuners and my high E was an unbearable sitar sound. B string sometimes too but not as much.
-
Yeah they are. They were much cheaper than the others, and they were sold in a pair (unlike most others in the price range ) but they seem decent enough. I do plan to upgrade though.
Yea, for $100 I felt they would be good entry level. I don't use speakers a ton anyways, I generally use headphones, especially since I upgraded to the HD 598s and the D1. Just need some new speakers to plug into the D1 so I have the option when needed.
-
James, those some maudio AV30s you got sitting there? What do you think of them? I was planning on picking a pair up just for the price point.

Hi everybody,
I'm new here and was wondering if anybody had any experience with the Manson MBK 1 or 2 or even the Bare Knuckle Mississippi Queens. I've pre-ordered a Cort MBC1 and plan on putting a Seymour Duncan cool rails in the neck but i'm unsure as to what should go in the bridge. I have a few Gibson's with humbuckers and a Harmony h78 with single coils so i'd quite like a p90 sound. However, i keep seeing in posts here that the MBK 2 is brilliant and i would like to try it. Anybody who can chip in with help would be much appreciated!
Thanks
MBK 2 is a hot rockin pickup, I have them in the bridge of two guitars, they really rip, and clean up quite nice. I also have a Mississippi Queen P90 in the neck of my one Les Paul, thing is fat and creamy. Never used one in the bridge though.
-
Surely almost everyone who buys this will end up upgrading the pickups to MBKs
You'd be surprised about that. I expect a lot of these guitars will end up in the hands of fan boys who don't really play guitar or know anything of tone.
Will show you the final pictures when I receive the HQ pictures from them.

General Gear and Tab Season IV: Can it play barre chords?

So you get $200 spending money for this contest, and total value of winning is $900 Canadian. Subtract the $200 and you are left with $700 for the two peoples expenses, Flights, Hotel for two nights (and possible face value of tickets?).
$700 between two people is $350 each, which means there is no way in hell you are flying to LA and getting a hotel for $350 a person from Toronto. Makes it sound like NYC is the closest 'big city' that I would expect it to be in.
