Bs Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I thought it was possible to change the cover on the pickup. I'm sure musecasters said it was actually a single coil sized sustainer in there, but the circuitry was the main difference (no blend mode etc) But it'll just get scratched up again for no reason. That seems to happen. Not sure why I'm replying to you when I know you're not going to reply back I'm still around, occasionally, at the moment at least. I did ask about the sustainer but they said they couldn't change the cover because there wasn't one. There is nothing in the bottom part I think, but I think it's all built in together, so you can only change the whole pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the surface on mine has worn down, but I'm not too bothered since the entire guitar is starting to show some wear. Has the magic bridge been delivered?

james90 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 You can put any thing over the top instead of the white, had the mirror in for a week now. Do you find that the different materials affect the sensitivity of the X-Y at all? I had that black material put over the top of the two M1N1s, and they don't seem to work quite as well as the X-Y pad in the MB-1 But maybe that's because it's a different design? I don't know. Has the magic bridge been delivered? Do keep us (or at least me) updated Never again will I repeat myself, enough is never enough, never again will I repeat myself... dav pls Mirror...because. YES You haven't seen the gold one though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 You should put the material under the pad, not over!! how would I be able to see it if it goes underneath? I can't tell, but it looks like there's a thin piece of black material between the frame and pad... I don't know for sure though, as thought it would just replace the standard white backing. It still works and everything, but doesn't track (if that's the right word) as well as the one on the MB-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Is the mini pad not clear then? In that case I dunno. The korg screens are fully clear and the white material goes behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure - I haven't taken it apart. Are the korg screens that satin-ish material? (can't tell with mine because it has a sticker on) I thought I wouldn't be able to see through because it's not glass or whatever like what was on the M1D1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should put the material under the pad, not over!! I swear my setup is slightly different than the MB1, I vaguely remember there was a piece of material that was over the top of the pad... not on the M1B1! Unless they've inset it with the mirror cause of the depth. Gold? ...show me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3adstar Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Looks sick, definitely prefer the mirror over gold would it be possible to make the mirror stuff look cracked to match the rest of the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they've inset it with the mirror cause of the depth. Paper is under the pad on mine. The paper got changed when it was being sorted out for some reason though, so I don't know if it was on the top originally or not - never checked when I first had it. Changing the material colour in the pad looks a bit tacky in my opinion. Just my two cents, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Thoughts on a MA shape with this finish, single coil sustainer, and no X-Y pad? having trouble picturing it in my head. http://www.mansonguitars.co.uk/#!untitled/zoom/c6gt/image34f Or maybe even that black/silver type finish on that one Tim did. Phill? Sorry Bs, I don't mean to slow down your custom further. Not that it matters at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
