mep Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Last night BBC South West Inside Out programme had a feature on Mansons Guitars. Hugh was showing some of his work for Matt Bellamy & John Paul Johns. Nick Beggs popped to pick up his double neck guitar / bass. It's on iPlayer and is the last feature of the 60 minute show, so fast forward to about 45 - 50 mins.

gelfin Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Here's me with one of Huw's early Merlin basses at a show in Bristol some 30 ish years ago. I used to build flight cases for his instruments. He seems to have aged well.

mep Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Sorry. It was a 30 minute programme. I missed the start but managed to catch Mansons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Cool electronic wammy pad, suspect in the real world down at the Dog and Duck it would not garner that much interest...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
