MoJoKe Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 This is the new beast from DV Mark, albeit with a custom "Sebo Xotta" paint job (He is obsessed with cows.... perv!). Its a full scale professional instrument, just one small enough to fit in an overhead locker... anyone touring overseas this year and flying? https://www.facebook.com/stefano.xotta/videos/1655751397839900/ (Ahem, and yes, no need to ask, there are basses on the way too...... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJoKe Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 PS. Please forgive the utterly shameless commercial plug! Many of you already know that I do a bit of work with MSL, I was sent the first UK demo one of these a couple of days ago, and it seems to have got stuck to my hands, and I have wee'd a bit.....

MoJoKe Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Its real! A strat that forgot to put on its trousers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJoKe Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 I rather like it but there's something about that floating bridge that just looks a bit vulnerable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoJoKe Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) The colour is called pre-fresian (you'll need to have seen the video to get that...!)!... Or Caribbean green.... Edited April 27, 2018 by MoJoKe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has more control knobs than strings, always a deal breaker for me. Simple is best, a bit like me really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJoKe Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 I know exactly what you mean! Jazz or precision all the way normally! I know that MB make a Preamp for some Cort basses, but having googled it, that has one less knob, so its something different again.... If they work to their usual processes, it probably won't get launched until Winter NAMM so we might have a while to find out what they all do!

Bilbo Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) I saw Gordon Giltrap last night and he played one of those Paul Brett Vintage Viator travel guitars. It sounded beautiful. I am gassing for the 12 string version now. Edited April 27, 2018 by Bilbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini acoustics do seem to be great, useable instruments, the Paul Brett looks really cool, I would never have thought the tension on a 12 string would work on something so small... gonna have to hear one of those... have you any links for the 12 string?

mikel Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Ian Anderson has some travel sized acoustics made by Manson. They sound fantastic. Manson's thought a guitar that size would sound poor but they were proven wrong. Anderson's excuse is "A tiny guitar makes a little guy like me look bigger". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
