So now that it's December, and last we heard was late December/early January, just curious if that's still the ballpark ETA. Sorry for the constant questions, I'm like a kid on his way to Disney asking "are we there yet?"
Thanks!

So I've heard some stuff from BP and other posters from NAMM that now with the Game-Changer you can also rewire the jack, and I heard something about mono/stereo, so is this kind of like the deal with Rickenbackers where you can have the bass in stereo with lets say the neck pick-up coming out of jack 1 (R) and the bridge pick-up simultaneously coming out of jack 2 (L) ?
Also with all of the new MIDI integration is there actually a 5 pin MIDI in and MIDI out jack on the instrument? Thanks Drew!

So for anyone who hasn't noticed, there's a new spec sheet on the Gamechanger Website: http://gamechanger.music-man.com/med...ss_control.jpg
So the other output jack has been replaced with a MIDI jack?

You know I'm kind of torn on this one. My work just approved overtime at time and a half plus shift differential so if I worked 1 extra shift a week for 2 months, I would have the money for a Game Changer. I got to play a 25th Anniversary Reflex today for the first time along with a Big Al finally and was really impressed. So the quandary I am in is if I should get a Game Changer when it comes out or not? I love the Reflex basses but I already have multiple black basses. I love black basses but I think I'm at the point where I want a little more variety now. But there is also something exciting about owning the very first ever production model of something totally new to the industry so I'll have too spend from now until the bass comes out deciding what I want to do.

I was sort of the same way with the Reflex, I loved the bass and would have preferred it in a different color, but overall the Game-Changing-ness got to me. I already have a bright orange bass anyways ha ha.
I also saw on the Game-Changer specs page that it's offered in fretless now???
Sort of curious what happened to the other output jack and how that will change the functionality. Also, will TGC come with an 8 pin MIDI cable?

So I just went back and re-watched all of the videos. It made me really anxious for both basses and guitars coming out too. I did notice some changes on the spec sheets though. On the color option as well as the binding options for both guitars and basses, it says, "To Be Determined" So does that mean that pretty soon you can order the Game Changer in other colors other than black? I also noticed in the video that you can add a piezo option to the guitar but it didn't say anything about the bass. And my final question is on the videos it showed I believe Dave LaRue playing a Game Changer that had an HSS pickup configuration as opposed to the HH pickup configuration. Will that configuration also be able to be ordered by the general public or was that just an experiment bass? In any event, I am really stoked about both guitars and basses coming out and if not now will definitely be getting one in the future after they are released. I just wish my work would hurry up and approve the overtime so I could work the extra hours needed.
