crazybobbles Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Trouble is once you slag him off he's probably going to throw the bridge in the 'garbage' Oh sorry, I mean afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I don't think anyone (including Bs) can believe it Very eager to see what this long overdue job is. D3adstar, I got my mirror guitar back I posted a quick picture a few pages back, but I'll take some proper ones once I get my flashgun Also need to try the M1N1 out. Not sure if it'll work properly with the whammy 5 though, as the MB-1 doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 What happens if the bridge comes back and, again, isn't right with his measurements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 You may have already explained this but... Couldn't Manson put that bridge themselves? Why another guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a shame though. It looks like the actual build went quite well up until the bridge problem. It's not my style, but I can still appreciate it.

Guest Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 £3676.66, and then VAT takes it to £4,412. I've got more research to do so I could make some alterations to the spec that could give or take from the price. Apparently the carbon is the most expensive part of it.

tomrulez Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 That's extortionate, at that cost you really have to ask yourself if you can justify a custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 That's extortionate, at that cost you really have to ask yourself if you can justify a custom. Yeah it really is. I was expecting it to be around £3,500. I haven't really got anything important to pay for in the foreseeable, other than rent and my CE-7 which in total is about £300 per month, so if I can spread out how much I save for the custom it shouldn't affect me too much. I'll just have to get a better paying job on the side of college. £3500 is works 010 Are works generally more expensive than customs? I assumed my custom would have came to the same price as works 010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I'd go Ash body. Yeah I don't think they enjoy the carbon finishes too much so they gotta make them pay So would I, but he liked the MB-2 prototype which is mahogany. The dual P90s sound good in an ash bodied guitar though, but a bit different. Haha yeah based on their expressions and stories of how the fibre gets into your skin they do not like handling carbon fibre Yeah, he told me about that as well. I don't know how different the material going on my red/black guitar is, but I imagine it's still difficult to work with. Pretty sure it just comes in a different format When I was visiting I saw the neck with the material on the headstock. Can't say much about it though as it didn't have the lacquer on. Also, the M1N1 is pretty cool. Switching works nicely, but because CC0 was deleted on the new whammy pedals, it won't work properly with those. Haven't tried it with the kaoss pad yet. What MIDI stuff are you using with your MB-1 bobbles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
