Bs Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Haha, well it does look stunning! I'm not even going to try to get my new one to compete with it for looks because it would lose so I'm just going for something simple, but with hopefully the same sound and some of the different functions from my MB-1. Hopefully it complements them well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it complements them well. Just tried my DL-1 for a while, the P90 is totally different from MB-1's neck pickup. It's much warmer, more vintage and uncompressed. It does a little bit noisy but for single-coil, definitely acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I was talking about my custom that time, sorry, haha! I have played one of the old DL-1s though and really liked it. I'd think of getting one myself if I was made of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think of getting one myself if I was made of money. Don't worry Bs, it's an easy mistake. Are you referring to the prototype? They're a bit different from the MB-1s I think. I wouldn't mind a DL-1R, but I don't think they're doing those anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Yeah, the original prototype one they had in the shop I think. The production models ended up being a bit different. It seemed nice to me, but I already had my MB-1 and was planning my custom so it wouldn't have been practical to seriously think of getting one for me really.

I think the main difference is more P90 and a back finish that matches the top better. Also, here's what I was talking about earlier. I believe it's the same idea as the pick guard on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Yeah, I think you're right, it might have been an MBK-1 in the neck originally! Sounded nice though, and I loved the original paint texture, but I never saw it again. The production models were much smoother I think, but I loved the slightly rough feeling of the prototype somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HennoTaams Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 So the family has expanded now, first thoughts so far, it's a little unreal to me it's mine, looks absolutely stunning, neck feels great (so smooth) body carving is very nicely done, shame i didn't get to really play it, forgot to charge my beltpack batteries last night only one slight remark, the sent a deluxe Silver DL style strap with it instead of the black Deluxe with the silver logo, not too bad i'll order one of those again. now of course you probably want some highly inappropriate adult guitar content so here are some pictures so i'm off waiting for my batteries to charge, and of course plugging in asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Nice. Congrats. For what it's worth, rechargeable batteries don't do so well in these. I'd just buy some 9v duracells in bulk. Should last a while, and if you can get the pro cells, they're much cheaper. I think they're around $15 for a 12 pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Nice. People offering less than what it would cost new Also, we know nothing... (Guitar) Matt recorded the opening section on a Fender amp, with a variety of 7 string guitars, such as a 7 string Fender Strat, and the Manson E Guitar (Bass)In the making of The Globalist video, Chris talks about the octave effect being used during the heavy mid section, but for the most part, the bass part is clean.

Dominic. Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Also, we know nothing... Haha fucking hell How close is that volume knob to the bridge pickup?! To be fair it seems a reasonable distance from the strings, just very close to the surround Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic. Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I really, really, reeeally fucking hate how people always get guitars signed on the front. Do they not want them to be played? Just sign the bloody headstock or sutin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 amazing. edit: all the want for that MB-2, even though playing it would ruin the signatures. I've learned not to trust "making of" videos. It seems like what's actually used might or might not be actually used. enit I really, really, reeeally fucking hate how people always get guitars signed on the front. Do they not want them to be played? Just sign the bloody headstock or sutin As I said in another thread, I'd just have the back of the headstock signed by the one who plays the guitar. They still haven't accepted my request to join their Facebook group either, so I don't think it's happening anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
