james90 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 It would probably have the same issue. It wasn't the sustainer, as I tried two in this guitar with the same MBK-2 and neither worked. As soon as the MBK-3 went in, it worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidoswin91 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Anyone on hear buy the MB-1 off ebay? It looks like it sold this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musecasters Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Nice. Sustainiac next? I'm sort of tempted to put a black MBK-2 back in this one. It originally had one, but it wouldn't work properly with the sustainer. I'd have to find one that's guaranteed to work though. Sounds good as is, but could probably use a little more top end. keep the MBK3 and turn the volume down to 7.3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Anyone on hear buy the MB-1 off ebay? It looks like it sold this morning. I bet you £5 and a mars bar that it was Ross0203 or sherpa_man keep the MBK3 and turn the volume down to 7.3? You sure it's 7.3? I thought it would vary depending on the tolerance of the volume pot.

musecasters Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 You sure it's 7.3? I thought it would vary depending on the tolerance of the volume pot. i would say between 7.1 & 7.5. any else and you're in a world of hurt :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I should put some 250k pots in, so when it's at 10, it's actually at 5 What if one of Mark's guitars has 250k pots? Does that mean he doesn't actually turn everything all the way up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mittle Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 O wow wish I was at the Mansons Show. Wonder if they´d let you play the MBs.. Also James, you´ve had a couple of MAs refinished right? What kind of refinish options are they offering? You think they´d do a carbon wrap or metallic finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I doubt a carbon wrap would be possible unless it's a full custom. Metallic, probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not gonna bother getting an MA-X custom so I'll have some money for a few upgrades for CE-7 and MA-2.

I think the best food I had was at boston tea party. Right next to the cavern club - I was going to go there for a night out with the lads, but we ended up going to coal grill (it's a bit of a tradition now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Maybe I never noticed before, but did we always have comments like "How's the weight on this one?" "Nice, is it heavy?" "Cool guitar, is it weight relieved? I bet it must weigh around 2.5kg?" Or did that just happen when we found out Matt had back problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyjackk Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 >back problems never knew this lol when did you find this out? any reason why he has them? Most guitar players who play on stage for long periods of time have them. Very common for guitar players to have problems with their upper trap on their playing arm and in their lower back from poor posture while playing. His posture when bent over a piano so he can reach his microphone also wouldn't help. Also doesn't help if you're moving gear around a lot, which he obviously doesn't do himself now but in the early days would've done and would still have to do at his home and in the studio.

BlackjackWQ Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 So after putting the MBK-2 in my MA Evo the guitar doesn't play as nicely. I think I accidently moved the bridgeposts and changed the heights. Does anyone have the original heights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the bottom of the string to the top of the 12th fret: low E - 2mm high E - 1.6mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
