GarJov Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Is this finish on the MB-1's the same as an MA-2? It's quite fragile but looks cooler beaten I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 The black ones? They're a bit different from each other, but not quite like the MBC-1 finish. Your black MB1 looks a bit glossy now to me James, is it like that irl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Mine isn't one of the black ones. Are you referring to the MB-2 SE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Accidentally chipped my MBCs finish near the output jack Not sure if there's a way to repair this, but I don't think I'll bother. Could be worse though... remember that time Bs trashed his MB-1? I thought you'd sold your mbc-1. Mine has a tiny dent in the finish after I dropped a patch cable on the front of it (not intentionally). Still, the finish on this guitar is tough!

Cider Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Mine isn't one of the black ones. Are you referring to the MB-2 SE? Oh yeah, I am. My bad Does that one have a matte or glossy finish? I thought you'd sold your mbc-1. Mine has a tiny dent in the finish after I dropped a patch cable on the front of it (not intentionally). Still, the finish on this guitar is tough! I thought so too. Mine has endured some abuse (due to my clumsiness) but the finish is so resilient. The only scratch I can really find is around the jack where I smacked it really hard against my desk that one time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the finish on this guitar is tough! I did That's something Bs would do. And yeah, the finish is pretty tough. Doesn't seem that it will become glossy after normal use. Oh yeah, I am. My bad Does that one have a matte or glossy finish? matt finish. it hasn't really changed since I got it, but it's not as dry as the MBC-1.

Cider Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I did Aww I would've jumped on it if I knew you were selling. Just for the Sustainiac matt finish. it hasn't really changed since I got it, but it's not as dry as the MBC-1. Gotcha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Never thought you'd get rid of a MOC Damn... maybe I should ask to buy it back now... Nah, it's not like they're difficult to replace. I'm sure I could even get one locally if I wanted, but I wouldn't do that, as you don't get the same experience that you get dealing with Mansons.

Stocking Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Been a while since I posted guys, but the rousing discussion of MBC-1 dings has shown me the way back Mine has quite a few on the back of the neck and some on the headstock as well as a a patch where the matt finish has worn off (my sweatand hand placement mostly) by the volume knob and right by the lower horn. Now the biggest thing that's happened recently is that those terrible pots finally broke on me. Well the volume at least. So now, because I didn't measure correctly and realize I needed a longer shaft pot, I have to deal with not having one there to fiddle with (which is a-ok, I rarely do) and just have a new working one hidden away in the cavity, always on 10. Also I turned the tone knob from treble roll-off to bass roll-off... Or I think I did, the MBC-1 is wired way differently than I had thought it would be, while also NOT being wired that differently...? picture spoiled for potential gore and crimes against MOC humanity, though personally I don't care about having a beat up guitar with dings and stuff.

jtf337 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Anyone receive their MBC-1RS or MBC-1L with Manson upgrades yet? Last update I got was that Manson has them in house and is currently doing upgrades. They estimated 1-4 weeks. That was 2 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Luke Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 According to the last update on their fb page it looks like a modded MBC-1RS i finally shipping out?

Cider Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Yeah looks like they are working through their queue. I'm sure if you emailed they might be able to update you. You're assuming they reply to emails faster than ship out guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Pics of the killswitch wiring? And you've got your strap at the same length as mine. it's on this thread a couple of pages back. eh_D posted it. Here it is again: And no, not really. I had to go to a leather shop and add 2 extra belt slit thingies on the strap the day I got it . 5'1" remember?

Cider Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Pic of the actual wiring I used the wire the kill button came with so it was really easy. Having a kill switch is super nice - i can turn the signals of when messing with my amp and fx stuff. At least there's some use for it. Never touched the kill button at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eh-D Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Glad I'm not the only one! Did you use any washers other than the ones that came with the switch? Sorry I never posted pics of the wiring or measured anything for you. I suspect we will see more of these as it's mega easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Glad I'm not the only one! Did you use any washers other than the ones that came with the switch? Sorry I never posted pics of the wiring or measured anything for you. I suspect we will see more of these as it's mega easy. I did. The switch came with a washer! And don't apologize. You did more than enough to help me with the switch so I'm really thankful for that. Thank you again! .The hole was bigger than the switch shaft, thankful i got the black washer. Did you have to put some solder on the ground lug? I didn't at first I but i got some grounding issues. - getting horrible buzzes when i touch strings and stuff - so iput kore solder on the other lugs and some on the ground lug as well. The griunding issue went away afterwards. Not sure if it wad thanks to the extra solder or the fact rhat i put some solder on the ground lug lol.

TheSilverManson Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Anyone receive their MBC-1RS or MBC-1L with Manson upgrades yet? Last update I got was that Manson has them in house and is currently doing upgrades. They estimated 1-4 weeks. That was 2 weeks ago. Yes, finally! The glitter is much more noticeable in the flesh then in any of the promo shots. Had the custom black controls put on by Mansons to replace the normal silver ones for extra red-and-blackness.
