james90 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Glad to hear it Mine does! +1 for "Workshop Customization" They let you add a coil tap then? strange, I thought you'd have to have it shipped back for customizations I suppose that's just a minor mod though.

Yeah, I was afraid they wouldn't let me but that's no big deal, I think they'd only want you to ship it back for something like a piezo saddle, etc. Something major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musclemuse00 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Tim called me today to confirm payment clear and Guitar will be shipped monday for Tuesday delivery, he also apologised for not ringing me yesterday as it was a really manic day (MB-1 related hectic day perhaps?)

Cant wait Nice, I'm interested in what you think of the MBK3s. What amp are you using? I suppose that could be it - I spoke to them yesterday and they're still hoping to get some out this month and next month. The Starkaster was setup yesterday though - should be going out on monday as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboMansonMB-1 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 The Starkaster was setup yesterday though - should be going out on monday as well. Funny how you bought that like this week and you're getting it way before the MB-1 And I like how everything happening at Manson's these days seems to be related to the MB-1s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musclemuse00 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Nice, I'm interested in what you think of the MBK3s. What amp are you using? Its not an amazing amp but I use a line 6 Spider 3, looking to get my Laney valve amp fixed too. Ive just joined a band so may need to get a diff amp, a band mate has a marshall stack so I wouldnt mind running the Manson through that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive just joined a band so may need to get a diff amp, a band mate has a marshall stack so I wouldnt mind running the Manson through that Cool - I generally use a Marshall tube head with a 2x12. I was just playing the shatter through it - it really has a nice sound for sure. I don't know how much the mahogany contributes to it though (apparently it's a bit more punchy and thicker?)...of course, the BKPs help. This has the MBK2 in the bridge and I believe a P91 in the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musclemuse00 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Guitar came today, im thrilled with it, Manson necks are the best ever pups are very high output even more than my mbk2 would say altho not by a huge amount, so trying to find an amp setting thats suitable. Hopefully ill have a vid up by tomorrow. Here are some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully ill have a vid up by tomorrow. Here are some pics NICE!! Yeah, their necks are amazing. They just fit your hand perfectly. good choice on the pickguard and headstock. How would you describe the overall tone compared to the MBK2? take good care of it - and as I said, I wouldn't keep it in your loft or where there's an inconsistent temperature. I didn't get a signed spec list haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get a signed spec list haha Someone described it as a nailbomb on steriods, thats a good assesment, very similar to the mbk 2 as you would expect just with a slightly high punch and output, almost seems like my amp cant cope with it if I have the insane setting on, need to put it through a marshall stack. its only in the loft when im playing it in there, im moving my music room elsewhere soon The signed spec list was a result of me pestering Hugh for a coa like he does with a mb-1, so the spec list was a compromise Thx the Jag is a 1999 Reissue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musclemuse00 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 yeah I think you'll be fine with those pups mate but nice to have the option to ajust I wanted a coa in case I ever have to sell it, I can reassure the buyer as there seems to be more and more Manson replicas floating around out there, I really hope I never have to part with it tho Get us some vids and pics of the starky im already dreading putting a vid on you tube after seeing the comment massacre Simno and Sherpa have had to put up with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic. Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 hey guys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCKbeR3pd1Q Got the Backing track from guitar hero, camera mic isnt that great but it sounds ok cool, guitar looks great in the video, and you're playing isnt bad either I really hate playing the riff the way the guitar tab book transcribed it though, to me it's so much easier the way Matt plays it live EDIT: Do I spy a dalek?

Musclemuse00 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Lol yes u do, I live in Cardiff so got that from the exibition a few years back Thx, I quite happy with it considering I whipped it up quick when I got home from work, still not 100% happy with amp settings at the mo. Ill do micro cuts and PIB when I get the time and the unintended wembley version so u can check the sound some more, I doubt ill keep the vids up there mind. You're spot on with the tab book, its a lump of shite for that song, but tab books usually get bits wrong, I prefer to go by ear when I can and use the books if I get stumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
