jonbrown Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 only just noticed this, but I think this confirms the rumors he's been using the RPS set (see the windings on the ends of the plain strings) The question is what gauge though? Does he even use a thick 6th string anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eh-D Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 What you waiting for? I'm waiting for a cider apple red MA-2B which I ordered back in March. Adrian has told me it will be in soon and to contact him again at the end of this week as they're getting the delivery schedules in this week. So I'll email tonight. Those new red ones look awesome!I sent an email asking about doing a black-out on an in stock MA and Adrian offered that he was considering doing a run of those for the next delivery. I said sign me up! I am doing the sustainiac and custom hardware for sure. the question is pshycopaf or MBK-2. I also got a price for a full 510 upgrade but I'm still mulling that over.

I got asked if I wanted a blackout guitar but I ordered a very light red MA-2B with a black pickguard, black hardware and no bigsby instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What spec are you getting exactly? I quite like the idea of the MBK-1 for the whole 'classic' deal. Didn't Matt just have an Ernie Ball ad not too long ago saying those were his strings of choice? I am pretty sure a rep from Ernie Ball confirmed it on reddit too. Yeah I saw that ad, but it was the rep (president?) that said he was using the RPS and some "custom gauge stuff" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradjones224 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 What spec are you getting exactly? I quite like the idea of the MBK-1 for the whole 'classic' deal It's the standard ma-2b spec. So it has: MBK-1 set Bigsby trem Schaller roller bridge Gotoh H.A.P. Machine heads CTS pots with orange drop capacitors I'm very excited to get my hands on it. The cider Apple red colour is 😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if Matt was using them more. Rosewood or maple fretboard? I had a customized MA-2B done a while back - it's styled around one of those 50s looking surf green Fenders (that or the Tom Delonge signature strat ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarJov Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Nice, there definitely isn't enough MBK-1 love around here. Maybe if Matt was using them more. I guess the issue is that many of us have a Manson to have a high output guitar. For me putting a P-90 in the bridge put it too close to my Fender's.

I had a customized MA-2B done a while back - it's styled around one of those 50s looking surf green Fenders (that or the Tom Delonge signature strat ) I definitely prefer a P90 tone to a full on humbucker. Probably because I've been using single coil fenders for the past 8 years. I like that they're nice and "Phat" with some bite but not as aggressive as a full humbucker. I went with the rosewood fretboard as it worked well with the colour and when I tried one of the very light red versions in mansons the combination of the mbk1 and the rosewood board sounded really good. I bet that surf green looks gorgeous. I do love the vintage style paint jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Though I don't remember for sure, I think I've played something with an MBK-1 in the neck before. If it was then it sounded nice. I'd probably get one in something if I didn't need the sustainer so much really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably get one in something if I didn't need the sustainer so much really. I vaguely remember this... should I be worried? You should get a 007 type pickup setup in your next guitar... mainly to add more switches I definitely prefer a P90 tone to a full on humbucker.

I bet that surf green looks gorgeous. I do love the vintage style paint jobs Yeah I can understand that. I do like humbuckers, but not super high output ones. The MBK-2 is as high output as I'd like. They have one on display, but it's very light red and not cider apple red. Guessing that's the one you tried. That cider apple red EVO they got in recently (probably gone by now) looks amazing too I'm surprised more people don't go for maple fretboards with these... but I have to admit, sometimes I forget that's an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradjones224 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 That looks really nice! Congratulations . Did they tell you how long until you get it? I'm still waiting for them to tell me when the shipment is in. The last thing I was told was that they were expecting an ma shipment in soon and my cider apple red ma-2B will be in the next one. That "soon" shipment I'm assuming was the cider red EVOs. So mine should be in the next shipment. I'm still waiting for a response from them about a date because they got the shipment schedule this week. So I should know soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzerhacker Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I think if you get a custom one you can realistically get whatever you want. For Custom you can go balls to the wall, the M series though has a limit to what you can get. Trust me, I've tried my fair share of ideas. I believe its: Xenokroma Copperkroma Deep Stain Black (is that what it's called?) Gloss Black Anniversary Silver Cider Apple Red Very Light Red No idea if there's more. I got a Xenokroma personally for my MA, should be ready in the next 2 weeks if manson are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 The copperkroma and xenokroma finishes aren't stock MA finishes - they have to strip those and refinish them at the Works But yeah, those are pretty much all of the current ones. I know they did some white ones in the past, and the vile orange as well. You can get pretty much any paint finish - I think it's mirror, carbon, and anything with binding that you can't get on an MA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradjones224 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 How much extra is the cooperkroma and xenokroma finishes as I've been thinking about getting an MA EVO refinished in the future. After I get my Cider Apple Red MA-2B first of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I get my Cider Apple Red MA-2B first of course. It's £500 for either of them. I asked Adrian before I got mine ordered about it. The copperkroma and xenokroma finishes aren't stock MA finishes - they have to strip those and refinish them at the Works Really? Never knew that. But yeah, those are pretty much all of the current ones. I know they did some white ones in the past, and the vile orange as well.

Pretty much, I would have thought aluminium plating would have been possible but I have no clue how they actually apply it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what the price was - it seems like it's a standard MA-2 EVO with a refinish and no other additions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
