Phill Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I still think that one needs a complete reshuffle of hardware, doesn't quite look right. Especially the cream pick up rings. The photo of the back looks stunning though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo of the back looks stunning though. What would you do exactly? I think it works pretty well with the maple fretboard and scraped edges.

Phill Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Not sure tbh. Mix of gold and chrome possibly? Maybe black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rust_relic Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 It was a lovely guitar, shame to see it go but can't afford to keep everything. It was one of the first MA guitars buily bu Hugh himself in Autumn 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Wasn't the far left one originally Bellamy's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Wasn't the far left one originally Bellamy's? For about a month. rust_relic had it from 2005 to 2011, and then he sold it to me. I don't know whether it was the bridge or finish Matt didn't like. Probably both since the replacement had a chrome finish and a floyd rose.

rust_relic Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Yeah, the Rust Relic and the Red MB-1 were mine, the Black MB-1 was my brother's (Musecasters) That photo was taken nearly 5 years ago just after we collected the MB-1's, I had the Rust Relic for about 4 years at that point, as, far as I know it was the only guitar built for Matt that went on sale to the public http://www.musewiki.org/Manson_Rust_Relic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 What's the knob nearest the input on the Rust Relic for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rust_relic Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Piezo Volume This was the 7th guitar built for Matt (including if you count the 7 string) It was built for the Earls Court shows along with the Mirror Manson which was trashed at the War Child gig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mansons counted it as the 6th custom (I'm sure you remember why/where) but not the 6th Manson he bought from them. And yeah that's for the piezo. I should get a full rewire done at some point after everything got messed up from the broken FF switch, but it works with the exception of the piezo control being a bit temperamental (which is probably unrelated anyway).

nerd herd Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Piezo Volume That's what I always thought it was. Musewiki doesn't say it has a piezo so I was never sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 That's what I always thought it was. Musewiki doesn't say it has a piezo so I was never sure Really?? It was on the specs on fobbedoff.net from about 2002? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 2002? Somehow I'd forgotten all about the fobbedoff.net gear page until now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm not sure if it was 2002, May be slightly later but it popped up after the Guitar mag interview.which would have been just after the release of OOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Really?? It was on the specs on fobbedoff.net from about 2002? The rust relic specs were? Can't be, since the guitar was built in 2004 I updated the wiki page. It did say it has a fishman power bridge, but I added that it had a piezo preamp to make things a bit clearer. ALSO... I do wonder if they just used the bridge plate only, and the rest of the electronics from graphtech, as the saddles are the black ones (rather than the silver ones like on the power bridge) and I swear the preamp itself was graphtech....I'll have to open it up again sometime.

james90 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Two months. How do you play a guitar again? I know, I have it marked off in my calendar, remember? Not that I don't need to be reminded. I forgot, but did you already buy the GR-55? I'm quite impressed with the GP-10 EXCEPT FOR HOW GLITCHY IT IS EVEN WITH MY PERFECT TECHNI§UE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I do remember, haha! And no, I've got a massive order of extra pedals and stuff like that lined up for when I get back. Going to cost a fortune but at least it will be done, in theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to cost a fortune but at least it will be done, in theory. Ohhh what ones? Also just tried that finish restorer on a battered guitar I have. Works pretty well... I suggest you get some in case your MB-1 gets in another "accident" Somehow I don't think it will work on your yamaha though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Haha, enough to be going on with - I'll get loads of picture up once I'm back, I'm sure! Don't worry, I've had that finish restorer for a while. Works fairly nicely. I tend to give it a cleaning full rundown when I change strings, along with oiling the fretboard, cleaning the bridge, and so on.

I expect a full video demo of the Bs-1 as well....please Yeah it does. The deep scratches are still there, but not as bad as before. I'm sure I could get that damage removed from my MB-1 anyway. I've tried to use this oil sparingly since I've switched to the stuff from Mansons which isn't as easy to get, but I've just opened my third bottle...I either use it every six months (or sometimes at string changes if they look really dry) but it still goes fast.

Nein. I was referring to the 7 string. Edit: James, I'm picking up those things we discussed this week. #soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
