Please give me advice, tips, on WAITING!

[EBMM7181]

Last week I ordered a new StingRay, and was told it would be 4 - 6 months. This is my first '' order ''

I need some advise and tips on things to do to '' ease '' the wait LOL - Or activities to keep my mind off of my BASS!!!

Did you know that there is a Music Man/Banjo connection???

Now there's a distracting thought.. to say the least!!

Go do something completely unrelated to get your mind off of it. If you're really good at that...or you get really drunk a lot...you'll completely forget that you've ordered the thing until it comes in. Then it'll be a nice surprise!

The worst thing you can do is hang out here. You'll be thinking about it all the time.

But hang around anyway. It's a fun place, full of sadomasochists.

Keep in mind................

Keep in mind that a majority of us have also had to wait. I waited:

5 months for my Sterling fretless.

6 months for my, now Motojunkie's, Desert Gold Bongo.

5 months for my buttercream Sterling.

We are all still waiting for our Dargie Delights. (Not complaining, just stating a fact)

And I just ordered a Blue Dawn Sterling which I was told was 6 to 7 months out.

All part of the process, my friend. But in the end the wait is worth it.

pass the time by figuring out what your next order is gonna be!



or which Neo cab you're gonna go with from Phil Jones Bass

 

[Psycho Ward]

Go ahead and order your next one now, the wait on that one won't seem near as long... worked for me.

Yes, the worst thing is being on this forum and hearing everybody talk about thier MM basses. I dont drink.... so getting drunk is not an option, lol. Somebody told me the wait was the best part.... well, the wait was fun for a few minutes, not it sucks. But I know you cant rush '' perfection '' and to have a quality instrument like a MusicMan Bass, it will be well worth the wait!

Dude, you just ordered it last week. I don't even want to hear about it being "bad" right now. Go practice.

Given you don't care what color you're getting, just walk into a store that has something in stock, or buy online. The larger online bass specialty stores have truckloads of Stingrays in stock ready to go. No waiting.

 

[Dr Stankface]

You could always buy one of my cabs too.

I can't even remember how long i've been waiting for my DD.

Well until you can count the minutes and even the seconds they've made you wait for, then I don't think you've waited long enough

 

[Dr Stankface]

Hey, I calmed my wait by buying my fretless buttercream SR5.

 

[azzy_wazzy]

Not to mention by copious showering

yo man, since you live in atlanta you could always pursue your education at emory, eat at the varsity, get a six flags season pass, go boozing in buckhead, visit the botanical garden, sit in 285 traffic, get stoned and go to guitar center, watch a show at the fox, take marta, watch a thrashers game, sit in 75/85 traffic, go to underground (take a gun), hit up the coke museum...or you could just get addicted to one of those online roleplaying games...that usually kills 4-6 months!

or you can just lurk here and talkbass

 

[phatduckk]

last time i had a long wait i bought 4 more in the process.

ive got no good advice really. after a little bit it wont be on your mind all that much untill you get about 5 months in. then it gets hard to not think about it
