rust_relic Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Also, what is the consensus on mother bucker pickups as opposed to the MBK-2? Just wondering. Also mbk1 vs 2? Motherbuckers are great for Origin of Symmetry stuff and Stockholm Syndrome, for driving semi-crunchy amps although it is a very compressed sound MBK-2's are much better quality and better sounding pickups IMHO This might help https://www.mansonguitarworks.com/categories/pickups-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for James' sound clips I'm actually super interested in the MBK3 set. The clean neck clip I saw on YouTube sounds so good BTW James I'm guessing that new MA with the FRX is yours?

The clean neck clip I saw on YouTube sounds so good BTW James I'm guessing that new MA with the FRX is yours? I might have an MBK-3 bridge pickup and MBK-1 neck pickup from that copper guitar (which might be mine) from before the modifications #MaybeForSale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sound clips of the neck I like the finish of that. Reminds me of the skin of an avocado. You should've refinished it in dark green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should've refinished it in dark green I have that setup in an E-62 now, but the covers are black, so they might sound different I'm worried it will end up looking like that over time!

The clean neck clip I saw on YouTube sounds so good BTW James I'm guessing that new MA with the FRX is yours? I have one with an MBK 3 and one with an MBK 2 and prefer the MBK 3 as a pickup in terms of sound quality but the MBK 2 in terms of versatility. The MBK 3 also plays nicer with the sustainiac.

heyjackk Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Finally uploaded a video with me using the Glitter MA with the Axe Fx if anyone's interested - https://youtu.be/CujmO16NIaY?t=3m30s - starting it from here so you can hear the sustainiac in action and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your guitar is so nice *___* That's the MBK2, right? So far I've only heard these of the MBK3 and I love it *__* & Does Matt ever use an MBK-3?

Like, how do you train your ears to tell the difference from neck/ bridge or humbucker & P90? I guess MBK-2 and MBK-3 would be a bit trickier? Also, anyone know what screwdriver size I need to intonate the Gotoh bridge? I don't wanna strip the screws BTW I need a place to get strings from. I like EB alright, but I liked the Manson strings I got a while ago too. I'm guessing they're Rotosound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess MBK-2 and MBK-3 would be a bit trickier? I guess you learn over time, but you can see that it's an MBK-3 with a black cover if you look closely. around 4:20 where he plays the harmonics shows the pickup clearly, but only for half a second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And afaik manson makes their own strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBK-2 in my satin black one but the glitter has a black MBK-3 Really like the look of the MBK3 with the black cover and small logo. Very sleek. Also, that psycho tone is lurrvely.
