crazybobbles Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 MGW website says it's raw alumin(i)um and are you considering getting one? A surround? Yeah, but I want a mirror one. I'm sure they can sort one out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 My immediate guess was SE for Seattle...or is that a different guitar...I lose track these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 My immediate guess was SE for Seattle...or is that a different guitar...I lose track these days... Yeah, so many new guitars at once! It's a different guitar. The MB-2 SE is based on the first guitar he had built with the X-Y pad http://musewiki.org/Manson_M1D1_Black The seattle was the M1D1's replacement, and has the automatic tuning system on it, as well as different pickups http://musewiki.org/Manson_Black_Midi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotec Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 There's a pickup selector on the Black Midi but it has only one pickup (MBK-2). Does the sustainer FSK-401 work as a pickup too ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 is the finish as textured as it looks? seems a bit different than the usual matt(e) black finishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozo Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I love that guitar so much... Always been my prefered one (probably because of the twin P90s + XY pad) with the 007. And Matt used it very often... But I can't afford two Mansons in the same time =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross_gerry Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Well just got back from Mansons and i've got an MB-2 put back for me looking to trade my MB-1 in so just got to see what kind of money i will get for that before 100% committing. The current demo MB-2 SE is one of 2 prototypes. The current one is made of mahogany and they are making a second one out of poplar and going to compare the two and make a decision on which one to use. they are also still wondering whether to mount the sustainer intensity control pot on the front like the original M1D1 black and also thinking they will do away with the push button kill switch. Looks stunning in the flesh but sounds like there might be a change or two before the final models are made! Also sounds like they will only ever make 20 and Adrian said to me that that might even drop to 15!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 they should definitely keep the push kill switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord MFC Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Yep, 20. 5 to sell at the show, 5 to sell to old MB1/DL1 customers, 5 to sell online and 5 to sell in store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 just sent my deposit guessing they've still got a few things to decide on, but i wonder how long these ones will take. DL-1s are next apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Musecasters, I want to pick your brains if you wouldn't mind if they're wired like the original, it should be a push/pull tone pot which switches between series and the bridge facing P90 only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross_gerry Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 right well thats the MB-1 traded in and used for me deposit for a shiny new MB-2 Well excited!!. now its time for the 7 month wait!! Apparently they are still deciding on wood but its more than likely going to be poplar. They are also going to try and make it as close as possible to being identical to Matts one. So they are doing away with the killbutton and i'm guessing they will mount the intensity knob too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
