are the classics in stores now or not? NAMM is over right?

[kevins]

are the classics in stores yet? i wanted to try one out!

 

[phatduckk]

you can order one from a dealer now since NAMM's when the order window was officially opened. but you wont see one in a store for a few weeks (maybe month or 2 depending on backlog). the only ones that exist so far are probably the ones from the NAMM show and the ones from the bass show in LA a couple months back

 

[adouglas]

Chances are more like a few months.

AFAIK EBMM builds to order only, and ordering just started. The pipeline is already full of existing production.

 

[GGK]

Are there only certain colors available and do they all come with finished necks?
Tks

 

[kevins]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!


whats the prices on them anyways?

 

[mynan]

Colors, finishes, and prices are all questions that should be directed toward your dealer.
