jonisdead Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yeah that's what they're like. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether you have the sustainer on or not Unless the guitar doesn't have a sustainer. Then don't look at it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL4kJL_NDR0 This guy has always = Dom to me haha. I feel like this is exactly what he's like around the guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

souri2labo Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Oh and everyone is right these guitars they just ring and ring and ring.... the sustain is endless Yeah, just incredible ! Do you have any ideas of "where" is it coming from ? I'm very curious about it and inspected mine from every part, compared it to many other guitars (Fender Tele, Gibson LP, Strats, ...), and still can't find WHY it does that. I thought it was because of that LP-type bridge,but when you hit the strings, there's a very strong shudder staying in the left upper horn (where the killswitch button is). Nothing around the bridge, nothing on the neck nothing on the headstock ... Never felt anything like that ! You can feel it with the tip of your fingers. Mittle > Wow, not cool ... I feel sorry about that, good luck with having it shipped again ! This guitar is worth the wait ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say it's a specific part of the guitar, but some areas will affect it more than others. The body/neck join and the wood itself contribute to it a good amount, but also, I know Mansons said something about the design of the truss rod channel in the neck affecting the resonance.

Jaicen Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hugh builds single action truss rods. What's the chances the MBC has one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hugh builds single action truss rods. What's the chances the MBC has one? pretty likely. Is there any advantage to the single action truss rod? I guess having the ability to correct back bow is an advantage with dual action, but that doesn't seem like a common issue anyway. It's interesting anyway. With one of those old ovation electrics I have, the truss rod can actually be removed from the neck if it's loosened all the way, so there's definitely a bit of room in there. These seem to be known for their infinite sustain though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerd herd Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Going to pay the deposit for one of these today, but since I want a sustainer installed should I add that (& strap, case etc) to the basket at the same time as the deposit, or wait until June/July when they've got some in stock and ask about the modifications then? I'm on the works website if that makes any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the works website if that makes any difference. Normally you can add it at the same time, I also did that with the coil tap conversion. Either way they'll send you a mail to confirm your final specification before they start with it in case you change your mind or something.

rust_relic Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 It's frikking awesome, not as refined as the proper Manson's that cost 6 - 8 times the amount but seriously good guitar for the money, I tried it through a (cranked) Diezel VH4 in the shop a few months back and was seriously impressed, ordered one there and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good actually very good clarity, nice mid range and bass but maybe could do with a little more highs but it is a really good pickup and really nails Matts tone, only issue with it is that the good bridge pickup only highlights the fact that the neck pickup is a little uninspired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a problem with the neck one as if I get one it won't be in there I should have added I suspect my bridge pickup is a little low and the poles need adjusting, could well be even better once I have done that But yeah I have some top end Seymour Duncans and Bare knuckles in guitars at home so I have been spoiled with pickups but these are really nice pickups and in my opinion I'm not sure they are worth replacing, that is unless I was going for a black covered MBK-2 with logo but that would be for aesthetics more than anything as those pickups look seriously cool Yeah I can't wait to get a sustainer so that I can replace the neck pickup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrskopite Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Sent details a few weeks ago regarding mods on my son's. Asked if it would be ready by early May as it's his 21st birthday present. They replied saying they cannot guarantee IT will be ready in time!!! Hubby spoke to Adrian at Mansons today & our delay is because they are awaiting a shipment of the guitars!!! 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
