james90 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Strange.... whoever has a matte black MB-1, is your logo somewhat crooked? I know I saw one which had it perfectly straight, but I can't remember the others Seems that the red glitter ones still have them crooked The only other red glitter from the second run I've seen is Matt's, which is the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 The ones from the first run were much more crooked I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I think it actually looks quite nice in James's picture...The little ~ lines up well with the ) part of the shape I think, if that makes any sense whatsoever...I assume they'll be changing it again if they just got it wrong this time as well though XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I get what you mean. I'd rather have a straight logo Here's rust_relic's MB-1 from the first batch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 The difference in the amount of glitter between the first and second run is brilliant I actually think I prefer the logo the way it is on yours James...The way it sort of runs parallel to the tuning heads, and fits in that little ) of the headstock...I think it actually looks nicer than the straight version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboMansonMB-1 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 u mad look at the ones i posted compared to this one Heh sorry, I was looking at mine when I made that post I meant mine looks fine to me, it's the same a Ross'. The slant from the M to the n lines up parallel to the slant of the tuners, so it works well to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Oooh I see the difference properly now...They both look nice in their own way...The normal straight version and the slightly different one on James's anyway...Musecasters, I can see why it bugged you on yours...It does look completely wrong on that one =/ But why have they been any different than usual in the first place? Surely they've made enough guitars to get it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 woop woop thats mine yeah ross, do you find the low E in particular to be somewhat buzzy on your MB-1? both mine and Jim's seem to have that issue. guessing it's normal since two guitars have it. Oooh I see the difference properly now...They both look nice in their own way...But why have they been any different than usual in the first place? Surely they've made enough guitars to get it right? well it's probably the guys who finish the guitars that apply the logos. (they're not finished at mansons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshH Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I like the one that goes with the tuners so maybe that's the crooked one yeah well it's probably the guys who finish the guitars that apply the logos.

Humpz Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hey guys, Im currently over in Afghanistan and unfortunately missed the Resistance tour due to the deployment (first gig I've missed in almost ten years). So in short, I treated myself to an MB-1 which will be arriving to my lovely wife in the coming days. Win. Im just curious what kind of gear you guys are running along side your MB-1's? I'm changing up and developing my home studio once I get home and am still undecided on a number of things - but which amp to run is starting to pain me a little (I get fuck all time to research shit, and even when I do.. the net here is a horses arse to use). Thanks in advance for any opinions offered up. Cheers guys D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for any opinions offered up. Cheers guys D I'm guessing your MB-1 is from the second run then? didn't know they were still finishing them up. At the moment I'm just using a Marshall JVM 210H head and 1960AX 4x12 for an amp setup. Covers pretty much everything except cleans, so I'm looking into getting an AC30 of some sort. As for effects...not many. I'm using the korg kaoss pad KP2 with the MB-1 though. Haven't tried a KP3 with it, but might at some point. The digitech whammy WH-4 can also be used with it, but I haven't done that yet (sorry Tom) Not sure what else you want to know. I've got a bit of a disappointing recording setup, but it works well enough at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraphrevan Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I doubt they're really making that much of an effort to get the logos perfectly straight. The're probably just putting them on their however they please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for any opinions offered up. Cheers guys D I'm running mine through a Line 6 M13, Whammy 4, FF and KP2, then into a '67 Silvertone. As opposed to James, I prefer to affect my signal to fuck then boost it Also, just sayin' that treating yourself to an MB-1 is the definition of win.

Phill Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I doubt they're really making that much of an effort to get the logos perfectly straight. The're probably just putting them on their however they please. That doesn't sound like something a company making a run of 25 £3600 guitars would do to be honest. I think the positioning is consistent with each batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the positioning is consistent with each batch. I think the opposite. A factory that's mass-producing hundreds of a product can be expected to have identical output, since they're just following a set formula/template. When someone is making a limited run of a product where each one is handled personally by a human being, well, I would EXPECT all of them to be different, and something like a logo is bound to move around.

james90 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 True, I think his point is that there must be some sort of QC though strange thing is that only the glitter ones have them crooked now. we'll see on the next batch i guess. speaking of that. here's something to push Bs over the edge, as I know I'm the reason he got put on that list I think that does the finish justice. it's not ALL showing, but most. Lets see some more of yours Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
