I don't think any of these would sound muddy with 250k pots, but the Hybrid would be closest in volume, if balance between the pickups is important to you. All 3 would sound great in the guitar, too. I would think the PB has more mids, while the C5 is the most scooped.
Well damn, then it is really lame. It isn't close to what they ever used, and there isn't anything special apart from the clown vomit color. Fools and their money, I guess.
I've only seen the MC 7 strings with an active mount, not the passive like the 6 string version. If one exists, it isn't on the website yet, so I might send an email to Customer Service and ask.
Outside of the colors, are these amps sonically different than anything Marshall is making, or is it just a common amp that was let loose in a paint factory?
Yeah, that purple looks fantastic in the sun. I eventually sold mine as I bought a Music Man Silhouette Special that covers the same ground, and has a neck profile that I like a lot better.
