Bs Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Nothing to be confused about. Just monitor your email 24 hours a day and be quick. That was my life for 4 months. I was crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 That was my life for 4 months. I was crazy. It worked though! In my case, there wasn't enough demand (yet) when I requested them. 2nd batch MB-1 didn't sell out for about four days (they even had a few left to put on the website) 1st batch DL-1 was around for a couple of months. I think I got the last one though (besides opie's which became available at a later date as someone never confirmed) MB-2 SE.... I don't know how long those were available for, but I had one reserved before the guitar show was even over. Just had to say yes or... what was that other one? Ah yeah you could be right about that, I checked the dates of the emails and the MB-1s production notification email went out the 9th, I replied the 10th saying I'd have to pass on that run, Adrian replied the 11th saying it was sold out subject to one or two confirmations, so I read that wrong Jheez 16 hours is crazy, there must be a few hundred people on that list Yeah that makes sense. And I swear I read it was in the 1000's, and that was a few years ago :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Nah the list is just so you're notified when they go on sale. If you manage to be one of the first 25 to email back saying you want one, THEN you send your deposit Or at least I think that's how it works. It was much easier and less nerve-racking a few years ago! I should have joined the list years ago then I take it you just email sales@mansonguitarworks.com saying you'd like to be added to the list then? Also noticed my spelling mistake earlier. Damn auto correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Yeah, I think that's how it works. I asked if they could put me on the notification list for ALL new releases though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozo Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I can't find the email that Adrian sent me to announce that I had a MB-1. But, if I remember, the (25 ? can't remember how many per batch) firsts on the waiting list receive the email.Then, if they don't answer within X days (something like 5 or 7 days... can't remember how many either ) or say no, the following person on the waiting list get an email. Correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Going by Mansons usual communication I can't imagine them going through all that hassle to work down through a list or hiring someone to program something to do it automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong. You're wrong. The e-mails are sent out in batches, so the earliest on the list do get it first, but on the third run at least, at was only a case of a few hours in difference really. For example, I think I got myself on the list about 4 months before the e-mail was sent out, and I got my e-mail at about 1pm or 2pm. I know some other people received it in the morning, and some other people received it in the evening. It's pretty much sent out to everyone anyway, or at least it was. I don't know about now. They used to only expect a certain number of people out of a batch of e-mails to reply. The problem with the third run was that suddenly almost everyone was saying yes and they were sort of inundated, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oeneus Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 My kidney's are fine, but if it's for a red one, you can pass your reservation on to me if you can't afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaicen Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Spares I don't know, but they offered me one. Drop them a line and tell them I sent you you might get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Spares I don't know, but they offered me one. Drop them a line and tell them I sent you you might get lucky. Maybe someone changed their mind. Was it a certain spec that was offered? I imagine it would have to be, unless they have a few extra of each. And I'll just tell them Jaicen sent me, but they probably won't know what I'm talking about!

james90 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 A ninja? I was going to say Buck Rogers himself, but unfortunately he appears to be fictional... so it wouldn't have been him. I was at a friend's gig, and that friend of mine also has another friend that attended... who happens to be Tim Wheeler #standard I thought it was pretty cool anyway. I met him for a short time earlier this year, but didn't really get to chat or anything as there were too many people wanting pictures and autographs.

Bs Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Oh, wow, that is pretty cool. What are Ash up to these days? I haven't heard about anything new being in the works since they finished the A to Z stuff. Did you mention you owned one of his guitars? Haha!

Guest Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It's about a year since I received the email for the 2014 run, that I unfortunately couldn't get, could we expect to see emails for the 2015 ones to go out soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
