Greetings! Just got up from the floor after going bananas with my camera. Stand by for shots. Oh and the TNT guy left with both jewels intact;)

 

I was sure mine had a few fingerprints on it when I got it ... I always assumed it was sent like that.

 

How do you like it?

Here are some of the photos I shot earlier today. Enjoy!

First impression: incredible craftsmanship. My expectations were high but even so I was blown away when opening up the case. It´s pure beauty! Will plug it in later today. A little out of time just now.

Wow. Fantastic photos! What camera/lens do you use?

 

Thanks Olly! This was a Nikon D300s with these lenses: a wide angle Nikkor 10-24mm, a telephoto Nikkor 70-200mm VR II and a macro Sigma 105mm. Photography is one of my other (expensive) passions:)

Hmm it's strange that they're all fairly similar. It was the same with the MB-1s. I know Matt wanted random serial numbers so the first one wouldn't go on ebay for a ridiculous price.

 

Hmm that is a bit odd. Looks like they have some sort of system after all then.

Had a quick go at the DL-1 just now. First impression:

Loud guitar but still very warm and open sounding, almost a bit accoustical at times. Pretty high output it seems but without mud and screech to go with it.

Never played a P-90 before so that was a cool first one for me. What can I say? Fat fat and then some fat on top of it. Warm and big clean sound in the neck position. The MBK-2 also: warm and round sounding with a little single coil twang on top. This guitar sounds a lot more bluesy than I had imagined. That´s good for versatility.

I compared it to my Axis and my Les Paul. The Les Paul is loaded with Nailbombs so was kind of an equal match. They sound a bit the same but once again: DL-1 sounds more open and warm. Few guitars can match the fatness and mids of a Les Paul, but the DL-1 actually did quite well in that field also.

Conclusion so far: warmer, rounder, more open and bigger sounding than I had imagined. MBK-2 is not as high output as I had thought but even so more vintage, bluesy and responsive. And an internal Fuzz Factory was actually more fun than expected:)

 

Well don´t know if that made any sense at all. Trials continue!

Cool. if you think the FF is fun, then you're in for a treat with that X-Y pad!

 

I'm curious how the DL-1 sounds with the MBK-2...rust_relic said it has a bit more top end than the MB-1 I think. Do you find it to be bright at all?
