With 9 days left to go, the heat is definately on, I've actually taken it quite cool so far, but as soon as the waiting time went into single digit numbers, the "beast inside" has not been giving me a break.
As they say "best things come to those who wait" so... what's 9 more days, out of the 53 I have already counted so far? Nada!
Full speed ahead!!

less relief / flatter = lower action
more relief / bow = higher action
do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!

I'm a few days over the estimated delivery of my Sterling... It needs to be shipped to Canada, so that takes a few extra days, plus 60 days just did not sound like an accurate wait time when I ordered it.

62 days seems pretty quick for a European delivery. Although I'll bet it seems longer when you're actually waiting for one to come in.

I confirmed my new Bongo was completed and ready to ship from SLO a week ago. I am really hoping to have it before Xmas but I have to be patient as its coming to Canada so the shipping takes a little. Its quite the agony waiting but very exciting too! I can't wait to see True Gold in person!!!!

2. Black Cherry Burst SR4.
3. True Gold Bongo 5 H with Torte
4. Black and Maple SR4

6. Natural SR4 Fretless
7. Trans Red Sterling 4 Fretless

Hello DGT and top of the morning to you, this captain is t-total, never touched the stuff, so it'll be small cups of espresso coffee and rosey-lee all the way, I'm afraid
Eight days to go, engine full ahead!

A very exciting Christmas for you, indeed. The 25th will grow on you each day you play it. I feel like all of us forumites are waiting, too, for the glorious day when she arrives.

Strange as it may sound to you, I have never liked booze, doesn't agree with me, I tried it as a youngster but gave me headache, so I never grew fond of it.
YESSSSSS a few days left. The only things that keeps me from going insane is this video I have on autorepeat

You think you're going out of your mind waiting for its arrival? You're REALLY going to lose it when you finally get it and you have all those tone settings to choose from!I hope the insane asylum that you'll be institutionalized at will have internet access so that you can drop us a line from time to time in between being heavily medicated.
