rust_relic Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I talked to Hugh manson, and asked if he could show me the rear, but he said no. Did anyone else go to Mansons on Saturday? I went, I was with Musecasters and Olly, I wasn't allowed to touch it either, even though I had put my order in for one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 you can't even touch it? i wonder why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooropa1310 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 you can't even touch it? i wonder why I guess the secret was going to get out eventually.... they commissioned me to build it. If you would have picked it up, it would have all one wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly. Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Nah they didnt want people touching it because they had a whole load of guitar magazines and journalists taking photos for review so they didnt want finger prints or scratches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell_A Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 oh supposed to have strap locks too fuck sake, so this isnt a prototype then, basically a rough, rough outline of what one would "partially" look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 oh supposed to have strap locks too so was the second MB-1 run, but none of them did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 so was the second MB-1 run, but none of them did Really?! That's pretty shit. I'd make a fuss until they sent me a set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk Dizz Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 So just to clarify, is it looking like there won't be a third MB-1 run till the first DL-1 run is finished? Just trying to do some guesswork really. Are they already taking proper orders for the DL-1 or just getting people on the reservation list? I was informed by Mansons that there would be an announcement for those interested in the MB-1 by the end of the year. I'd guess that they might announce info for DL-1 orders at the same time? Oddly, the DL-1 is starting to grow on me I wasn't blown away by it at first since I missed the Abso era of Muse (yes, I discovered B3ll0z and co. late in the Blackholes era. AM NOT WORTHY! ) but it is pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to guess I'd say they won't do another MB-1 run until January, since that's when they were released this year. Unless they told you something about MB-1s would come out by the end of this year, in which case I wouldn't expect it soon. But then again, I'm not Hugh.......OR AM I??

But then again, I'm not Hugh.......OR AM I?? well, seeing as you've already shown me the rear, you can't be. and i'm not sure, i'd assume they'd finish up the DL-1 run first...that'll be a good 10 months, unless they're going to be taking orders for the MB-1s before that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk Dizz Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I imagine it would be very difficult for Mansons to produce the MB-1 and the DL-1 at the same time. Oh well, if it still won't be for a while I've got plenty of time to sort money out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, if it still won't be for a while I've got plenty of time to sort money out I'd rather they took their time and made less good quality replicas, than rush their work and start to churn out poorly built look-a-likes a dozen a week. Especially if they expect us to shell out that sort of cash for them. Quality, not quantity is the way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
