Bs Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I swear it had silver cavities, but then didn't take pictures of it because I was afraid you'd be angry This was the last I saw of it, and it looks fine to me - I just meant that I don't think it's the textured sparkly type effect as on the original DL-1s was the point - not a massive issue though. It was more trying to express the idea of them matching the aluminium well really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB2ster Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Top right corner of the fifth photo just shows the aluminium - paint join... its really quite subtle at a glance That's completely put me off having one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 That's completely put me off having one! Matt's Son Of Delorean guitar is the same if it bothers you that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 If I was getting a custom I'd spec it down to the tiniest detail, if you're paying so much for something then I think it's important to get EXACTLY what you want. I guess it doesn't matter so much for Marx though... Yeah, there have been some details with mine which I didn't think of at first. The first custom I had done was pretty straightforward, and the last one had a few things changed along the way. Main thing was getting the exact finish I wanted. http://imageshack.us/a/img402/5271/photo2po.jpg This was the last I saw of it, and it looks fine to me - I just meant that I don't think it's the textured sparkly type effect as on the original DL-1s was the point - not a massive issue though. It was more trying to express the idea of them matching the aluminium well really. Yeah that's what I recall seeing. To be honest, it's not going to be easy to find a paint that matches swirled aluminum well. That's completely put me off having one! How come? I think you should still get one Matt's Son Of Delorean guitar is the same if it bothers you that much. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-34vulzAe9DQ/T-c4LD7CHVI/AAAAAAAAKE4/g0Ph7KJ4xVk/s1600/manson.bellamy.31.jpg D: That reminds me... the gloss black M1D1 has a kill switch cavity, but no kill switch. Does he really change his mind during the build as much as I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Yeah that's what I recall seeing. To be honest, it's not going to be easy to find a paint that matches swirled aluminum well. Yeah, as long as it's close enough, I'm not really that bothered, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB2ster Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'd want it to be exactly like the Delorean really. If it isn't going to be I'd rather get the red carbonita with black custom hardware and spec it with fuzz and phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazybobbles Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 i wonder if Matt gets sentimental over his delorean, picks it up and then throws it back down complaining on the weight of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it isn't going to be I'd rather get the red carbonita with black custom hardware and spec it with fuzz and phase. This one is mine as it looks now, Tim @ Mansons did most of the mods over the last couple of years, added Roland & Piezo Pickups and changed the bridge pickup to a Motherbucker Iit's true it sounded better with the MBK-2 and no piezo but you can hardly say that the original is lacking in tone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgggZqzh06k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I wouldn't let that be a deal breaker. If anything it's the chrome bridge pickup that bothers me! but I still haven't changed it Unless rust_relic still has is Simno relic'd MBK-2 #forsale?

james90 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 You can soon sort that out though! Nice reference, James! Now write it down slowly And not if you keep cleaning it off like I do It's not really working though, and is starting to look a bit more like DL-1 Dave's one.

Bs Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Read it out fast. I have a lecturer here in one of my classes who says 'aluminum' and it drives me crazy - I find it very difficult not to mutter 'aluminium' under my breath, haha! Stuff like that really gets on my nerves somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DL-1 Dave Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 never been too keen on the DL1 series because they look SO clean Just play it and gig with it for a bit, and it starts to wear in and look better and better. I love how it wears, if you dont constantly keep cleaning it in like 6 months it will look worn and awesome! I think too many people are scared of letting it get like that (I dont know why) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Is he american? No, but he learned English in America. He's like 'Oh, you're from England! Do you say "How do you do?"' - I said "...No" as politely as I could, haha! Same as when he asked if we used Euros! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Here's a question then. How do you stop the metal top from oxidising through use? Mine will be all scratched etc, and I don't want mine to oxidise I think it's going to be hard to polish that stuff off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
