Guest Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Considering getting another Manson. Probably an MA-1. How does the holosparkle finish option actually look in real life? Good or tacky... The red sparkle MBCs look horrific in person 🤦nothing♂️ I could just do an MA-2 for the cost of the holosparkle MA-1 No pictures can do the holosparkle finish any justice, it's something that needs to be seen in real life. Personally, I love it. It's without a doubt my favourite finish. If you like the look of it in pictures, you'll fall in love with it in the flesh. And is the MBC finish really that bad??? I hope the upcoming MBs have a decent finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the upcoming MBs have a decent finish! Definitely agree with that. I don't mind the red MBC-1 that much, though the chrome bridge pickup makes it look loads better in general Can they do the PF-1 as opposed to the MBK2? Is it a cost option, or a straight swap? I'm sure they can. They're around the same price it seems, depending on the cover/etching options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Hmm... that "people you may know" bit on facebook has just suggested Macaroon. I feel like I should add him, but he hasn't been here in ages, so I'm not sure if he'll remember me I mean, it's like when Bs sends emails to Mansons. Surely they remember him and have a special folder (with increased storage capacity) that his emails are directed to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only looked at mine for the first time today #mintcondition Also I've got that but haven't read it yet. Not a proper fan. I see a colour box, VCR, super hard on and a PDF 1 (?), but no whammy...

Plus the plug in baby shit tone hex pickup No you've got it backwards. You're clearly a real fan, since you've not taken it out of the packaging to protect it from any dust/fingerprints/Irn Bru spills. Think of how many cans of Irn Bru you haven't wasted because of that. You're doing a good thing. . Looks like the PDF has 3 knobs so I think it's the 1. Muse doing a qotsa cover confirmed? Well technically it's a PDF-2, but he's removed freq knob and is using the hardtail MIDI device on his guitar to control it with. But I guess you're all too busy trying to figure out why he has a framed picture of #MBHimself, which has been blatantly photoshopped out of the above image. Edit: Apologies for the massive oversight. It's actually a tune o matic MIDI device he's using. Didn't mean to spread any misinformation...

scottST Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Irn bru is overrated since the recipe got changed a few months ago. Yes, i’ll hand in my angry scotsman card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still more correct than a lot of the gear stuff on musewiki. Irn bru is overrated since the recipe got changed a few months ago. Yes, i’ll hand in my angry scotsman card. This is kind of true. It tastes nearly the same but there's a slight difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will an American (I use that term loosely now) like myself be able to tell the difference? Stay tuned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still prefer the tron-esque pickup cover on the neck though. And the custom Vol & Tone controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
