menkh4243 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Didn't see the interview. I wonder if it will just have the MIDI strip like 007? Maybe that's why we've not seen the 007 MA's officially. Could be, when Hugh was describing it to me, he was moving his hand up and down as if on a MIDI Strip, seriously! Just dawned on me. Ah yeah, you are right! It does look like a completely new one actually - the fuzz switch is in a different place. Yup! New Chrome bomber, body is Mahogany for sure as I saw it in the shop before it was painted. He made it in a week! If only our customs were as fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think you're pretty close there! Yup thats right! The duplicates were at the shop when I visited, except the Gloss Black 2.0, and Glitter Holes 2.0 Was too scared to ask them to open the case. Thats when they told me about the duplicates thing and Rig A/B. Got to hold and touch Mirror 2.0 and one of the stealth blacks Apparently theres another CE-7 ... and that new MIDI guitar coming soon. Tim built 12-14 guitars within 2 months I have a feeling he will phase out the Chrome Bomber since he just received his Copper duplicate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that feeling all too well He probably does - the guys a walking advert for Mansons. I'd reckon 95% of Mansons popularity is directly due to MB and/or Muse. Yeah true, though I think it would be more like 5% MB, 10% John Paul Jones, and 85% Muse ... which is a bit depressing really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 watching the radio 1 one big weekend performance at the moment and I can't tell for sure because the lighting is weird, but they're playing bliss and he's either using copper bomber and it now has a "proper" floyd rose bridge on it as opposed to the FRX bridge, or he has a new bomber style guitar. I'm leaning towards the latter because it looks more matte black than copper to me Going back to this... I have a theory about this new copper bomber, could it be possible that this is a prototype for a new signature? My reasoning is we haven't seen a bomber shaped signature yet and this looks easier to replicate than any previous ones with the matte copper finish which isn't as unique as the original bomber, as unpredictable as the chrome or as textured as the first copper. Also, there hasn't been a signature with a floyd rose yet either. Since this one has standard chrome knobs and Gotoh 510 machine heads it also leaves room for further upgrades to Manson custom hardware too. This should make for a new signature which is easy enough to make, hasn't been already done and is also cost effective for the current Manson signature line.

I bloody hope not (sorry - just my 2 cents only!) I'd be more hopeful for an MB-1 in Gloss Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gloss black mb-1 would be great and i thought somebody has already heard from Mansons that it will be an option that they look into soon? I was just thinking that a bomber shape would be something new and for a long time i've seen people saying how much they'd like that shape with a FR. I think that a new release will have to be something different to the standard shape with TOM, that avenue has been well and truly covered by the MBC, MB and DL series. This new one seems suspiciously easy to replicate which made me think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there hasn't been a signature with a floyd rose yet either. I'm still hoping for an original bomber signature series, but I know it's probably not going to happen. It's hard to tell if the second copper guitar has a less textured finish than the first one, although it looked like it during the big weekend gig. Hopefully we'll get some more photos of both to compare them. Looking at the first one from different angles/ with different lighting can make the finish look slightly different.

Maybe the textured finish doesn't really matter too much though. If we remember both the rust relic and that rusty looking MA that every made fun of for looking like melted Nutella a short while ago, Mansons are obviously fairly consistent with the copper look so it must be easier than i thought. I think whatever the finish is, it'll be easier than replicating the original bomber or the chrome one, that's for certain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
