jonisdead Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Apparently MGW don't even have a delivery date from Fernandes:LOL:. Feel like I'm never going to get the guitar:LOL: Just get the sustainiac! It's not worth waiting for an inferior product imo. I really wanted a Fernandes because it's what MB uses but it doesn't make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mittle Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hmm... The gloss on the neck has cracked at several spots around some of the frets. Almost as if the fret had grown and pushed the finish out... Will see if I can get some pictures out later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhereconor Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Just get the sustainiac! It's not worth waiting for an inferior product imo. I really wanted a Fernandes because it's what MB uses but it doesn't make sense I've only used a Fernandes before so I can't really compare, but I really liked it! I'm not overly interested in what system Matt uses, mainly because he uses both, but aesthetics is definitely something I'm taking into account with this guitar. Hence why I'm spending £150 on bits of aluminium that don't really affect the functionality of the guitar (if anything they'll make restringing more of a pain in the arse)! I particularly don't like the look of the Sustainiac, so coupled with the fact I've never used one and don't have complaints with the Fernandes system, I'm going to hold out! But then again, there's a chance my patience will run out and I'll just bite the bullet and get a Sustainiac:LOL:! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mittle Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 No. Its like brand new. Changed strings once. Since the ones it came with was useless cr@p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 That's happened to a couple of mine before. Seems to be the wood shrinking and the fret ends push the lacquer out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mittle Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Arent the MBs heavily lacquered on the back of the neck as well? Wonder if it happens to those as well :0 Cort probably uses cheaper wood + lacquer + everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if it happens to those as well :0 Cort probably uses cheaper wood + lacquer + everything. No those have a satin finish. I had it happen to one of my customs, so it's just whether or not it's a stable piece of wood I guess. Never had it happen with rosewood though.

Jaicen Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Yeah its just the fretboard shrinking or expanding due to changes in humidity etc. Give the board some oil, than might hep stop it getting worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The fretboard on my custom never seemed to expand after it shrunk initially - the edges were pretty sharp and the finish was a bit of a mess, so I had to have them file them down and redo the finish on the edges. It's been fine since then, but I've been keeping the humidity higher and a bit more stable in general Having said that, the second one (a warmoth neck, which is actually a good few years old) developed the same issue just recently, so... I worry about Bs' guitar and how much it will enlarge itself once he moves to Thailand though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mittle Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Alright! Guess we´ll have to turn to those as well xD Good for those Cort fanboys though Maybe this is mansons way of getting the demand up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they don't need more more demand on Cort mods! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rust_relic Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Probably to stop people asking for Fernandes Sustainers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mittle Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'm pretty sure they don't need more more demand on Cort mods! Haha. Well my point was that alot of fanboys are waiting for the fernandes sustainers to arrive since thats what Matt is using. Now they can settle for the sustainiacs which are in stock.

Mittle Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 "settle" Although I guess quality-wise the sustainiacs are fairly superior #feedback... But in the end, its all about the brand I guess! ...Still regret not having it in my MA though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboMansonMB-1 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 There's a thread on TGP about the MBC-1. I advised the guy to get over here and take a look at this thread. http://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/cort-mbc-1-what-the.1581786/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattblack Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Morning all. Or afternoon I've just managed to get my hands on a mbc1 should be here tomorrow. I'll let you know how it is, I wasn't able to get a sustainer for it as it would bankrupt me :/ Quick question to those that have one or have played one, which amp did you play on, because ive only got a fender mustang modelling amp. And I want to know if it'll do the trick :P any amp recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I want to know if it'll do the trick :P any amp recommendations? I play through a line 6 DT25 valve amp which is sort of the next step up of amp modeling from what you have and it sounds great, the guitar its self doesn't seem particularly ( I want to say fussy but there must be a better word) bothered by amp choice but yeah the bridge pickup is well voiced and can do a nice range of tones so amp matching isn't the end if the world. As for amp recommendations I love my DT25 and feel they don't get the love they deserve as they are awesome pieces of kit and being able to change valve topology and class on specific models can give you some really unique tonnes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me what strings it comes with ?? I'm going to put some ernie Ball super slinky 9 gauge on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
