james90 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 @jbias12 This means I will have to have my own built, but with LEDs. That was your plan all along I'm sure. MB will be pissed when he sees that two other people have made copies of his guitar though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 A lot depends on the specs of your build. Mine took a couple days more than a year, but it was spec'd out with a MIDI strip, FF, Wah Probe, Sustainiac, etc... Sorry James90, no LEDs I'm just quite tempted to get Sxc Jazz remade properly by Mansons. Probably don't even need to as it currently plays pretty decently. But fuck it, make it rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 So the one Tim's holding has a black xy? Finally got the OK to post this. Here, the screen looks more black in this picture (albeit still not as black as Matt's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I guess it's better than white. Deffo wouldn't call it black. It's like grey/dirty white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerd herd Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 A stealth MB-2 doesn't quite look right. It's still gorgeous, but the standard one looks better, probably because it's more like the original. MB's new stealth XY guitars are sexy though.

Yeah, I don't think stealthifying (yes I just made that up) just any guitar always works. Plus there's only one stealth and I've made more mistakes in that than there is in a bass cover of psycho on youtube (or something like that) edit: I didn't mean that. It hasn't been completely butchered as such, but I would've been better off leaving the twisty kaoss in, as I use the X-Y in this one equally as often.

dukelion Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Anyone had any updates about SDL-1 and DL-1 completions? Last I heard it should be Oct/Nov, but we'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Matthijs knows exactly what I'm talking about. I thought I was being unique and original, but I ended up butchering the psycho riff. Anyone had any updates about SDL-1 and DL-1 completions? Last I heard it should be Oct/Nov, but we'll see! Nope nothing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eh-D Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I finally got my 510 bridge set where I liked it. My stealth MA holds the record for all the guitars I've owned in number of unique fasteners and it's a tune-o-matic setup I had my precision Philips driver, two standard allen keys, two metric allen keys and the little one that sets the HAP tuner height all out and in use.

Yeah, it's not simply adjusting the thumbscrews with these! But it's a great design. :'( Macaroon and I must be the only two people on here that still have these. Someday I'll get a replica built, except with a fuzz factory. #FullCircle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 What would be interesting is having the holes light up and change colors when you play. Shame @musecasters is #retired, otherwise I would've asked him to build exactly that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 These holey guitars look way too good Mate you should hear one of them. Well, I guess you've heard MBs, but I'm not sure if that counts Actually, when is the last time he used one of his? Looking at the videos from the 2015/2016 tours, it seems like the matt blacks have replaced them. So how long do Mansons normally take to reply to emails? Should I be hoping for a reply before the new year? As long as it takes for Jaicen to sell his amp But no, they might still be busy setting up. I haven't actually emailed about anything recently, so I'm not sure if it's taking longer than usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the videos from the 2015/2016 tours, it seems like the matt blacks have replaced them. Could just take a drill to my mbc. I can't really remember if there was much difference in the sound when he played the holey one on the psycho tour since it was near the end of the gig and the barrowlands is the warmest place in the country . Don't remember seeing either of his holey ones at the drones tour gigs I went to though, they must've been replaced with the non-holey glitter ones by then.

Jaicen Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I definitely heard a different tone, the Holey at the Manchester gig was much brighter and mid focused. HOWEVER, that could be down to the amp etc, so not conclusive. I do think it's interesting that he only uses the holeys for that song so far, unless i'm mistaken?
