Phill Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yeah, I hate wasting strings. At least with these vintage tuners where you slot the first part down inside you don't end up with a string too short to wind back on after you take them off.

Lexical_Whale Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) holy shit Raurie!!! Porn synth is porn! I'd love to eventually get my hands on something like that. I've always wanted a Korg Delta, but they're rare and expensive. /disappoint Just had a listen to some Youtube demos of the Delta - definitely lots of synth win there. I've wanted a Prodigy for about 5 years since dicking around with the one we had at college. Only downside is that one of the oscillators on mine is playing up at the moment and I'm so far too scared to open it up properly to try and fix it. The idea of missing out on huge bass loveliness and being able to do the sync stuff (~55 seconds in the video below) is slowly spurring me on to do it though. @Jamie: I really love the Orange, just about everything I want from an amp at the moment. Hopefully you'll be able to hear a bit of it in the KnT Factor entry I've just sent in for round 4 Edit: Helps if I include the video link 1cew7dAbDh0 Edited August 19, 2012 by Raurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboMansonMB-1 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Moot Prodigies (Prodigi?) are the best. Definitely have GAS'd for one....because I'm a dickhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don'tPostThePear Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Nah, needs more prog. lel the best thing is when you turn the resonance@max, mute the two oscillators, turn keyboard tracking@full and turn contour amount@0 instant gangsta:doobie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Posted this in the Manson's guitar thread but I'll share it with you guys too. My Metallic Red Anniversary MA-2. Just wondering if anyone could give me tips for cleaning it, body? neck? hardware? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if anyone could give me tips for cleaning it, body? neck? hardware? Cheers. I've always found that a dry microfibre cloth works well enough to get any fingerprints and most marks out of the body and hardware and if there's any particularly stubborn marks then very slightly moistening the cloth seems to shift them. Personally I've never needed any special cleaners or polishes and managed to get a set of about 4 cloths for about a quid I think which means I can keep them in the cases with the guitars and give them a quick wipe over after playing if necessary (I don't really make a habit of it but I know some people that do). If the fretboard is rosewood then get hold of some lemon oil to clean it and help prevent it drying out. No hard and fast rules on how often to apply it so far as I know, just whenever it starts to look particularly dirty/dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Pretty much agree with everything he said, but I find that lemon oil is better for cleaning the fretboard than keeping it from drying out. This stuff is probably a safe bet http://www.mansons.co.uk/shopping/categories/manson-guitar-care/manson/fingerboard-oil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff is probably a safe bet http://www.mansons.co.uk/shopping/categories/manson-guitar-care/manson/fingerboard-oil/ Thanks mate, I'll get myself some of that The instruction manual that came with my guitar recommended using that but it had been out of stock the past few weeks.

Lexical_Whale Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 No worries. To be honest I'd agree with James about the oil being more for actual cleaning but the conventional wisdom seems to be that it helps maintain the fretboard as well so clearly it's a case of preference and YMMV. I bought a fairly small bottle of lemon oil maybe 8 or so years ago and it's probably still more than half full. The cloth's the most important thing IMO, just need a bit of patience to polish everything up once in a while but it's worth it to get them looking all shiny and whatnot - I usually give mine a going over if they're looking a bit grim and I've got a spare moment and then do a more thorough job whenever I change the strings.

Olly. Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 its amazing how refreshed the wood looks after a good oiling, can make it look fresh and new fairly quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have a good few microfibre clothes lying around that would be suitable to do the job Since I've never really had a guitar this valuable I'll start some more research into the topic. Thanks for all the advice! My reaction when I first saw it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
