Title: MM Black covered set
Post by: Justice4all on August 01, 2006, 11:25:40 PM: Hi all, first timer here. Placing an order this week for my first set! :twisted:

Question: What actually is the black coating on the covered sets?
Im being a bit picky here but in the gallery some of the matt cover finishes look dimply.
Can i order a gloss black set, if so is it "black" chrome like the chrome/gold sets are or something different?

Yes i know nooby questions are a pain! :oops:

Any help guys, much apprciated!

Don't know the answer.

This really is something you should PM Tim on; he makes em, not us forum bros!

As told to me by Tim and as on mine.

My Miracle Man/ Cold Sweat set have black covers like these. Needless to say, very nice look, very nice sound. I would reccommend going with gold polepieces...VERY CLASSY.

They look exactly like this:

Was also suprised to hear Tim say the MM in the neck sounds gorgeous clean as well, glad to hear it.
