Question ETA on Bass?

[BongoPeg]

I'm just curious... I ordered a Bongo HS 6 from EB September 20th-ish, when could I expect it to arrive? I live in Winnipeg, MB, Canada if that has anything to do with how long it would take...
Could I expect it in a month or will I be waiting for it at Christmas?
Either way the longer I wait the crazier I'm gunna be when I get it... its my first Bongo and first MM so...

And for anyone who is curious its Orange Firemist w/ black perloid pickguard, rosewood neck, matching headstock, and as said above HS 6 string

Very nice, I hope you enjoy it! Is it your first EBMM?

Have you spoken with your reseller regarding the ETA?

Congrats on an awsome first EBMM.And welcome to the forum.You might want to contact the store you ordered it from and ask what the lead times are running.

Yup, its my first EBMM, I'm an EBMM virgin

Well, when I bought it the guy said 2-3 months... so I would recieve it in roughly a month... but I went back there (Long and McQuade) a while ago and I asked another guy the same question and he said it would be roughly 4-6 months!

I can't wait half a year! It'll drive me nuts knowing that its coming but I don't have it yet...

So yea I was wondering if there was an average wait time just to be sure.

Ask Long & McQuade and they can check with EB.

Ask Long & McQuade and they can check with EB.

That's what I'd do, and I'm only slightly more annoying than average.

Hmm... well I guess I'll ask again and make sure to be very specific... Thanks :

I just can't wait to move on from the 20 year old Fender Squire I have been using for the past 3 years (I'm only 18)... so my bass is older than I am... I got it hand-me-down from my much older bro who used to play.

I waited 4 months for mine

the build time always varies & depends on MM's backlog. MM only builds a bass if it's ordered - so they never have (for example) black Stingrays sitting around just in case a dealer ordered one.

anyways - like the guys said, your dealer should be able to get an ETA from MM for you but in general the wait's anywhere from 3-6 months.

I'm guessing you mean rosewood fingerboard.

Well thats good... cause like I said I am a EBMM virgin

Ummmmm...I believe the word is VIRTUE...and I waited about 4 months for most of my past balls.

I love that! There's so many meanings in this!

^That's a great line..A wiser man once said....love it!

I too have a Bongo on order and placed my order at roughly the same time. I also live in Canada and ordered through Long&Mquade. I called down to SLO and was told by the very friendly customer service person that I could expect my bass to be ready in approximately 8 weeks. Not too bad for a made to order instrument!

Still its tough waiting but I am confident it will be well worth the wait.

 

[Subscript]

Pretty good considering everyone else said they waited 4 months.

Welcome, I'd go to the store and politely ask them to call CS in CA. with you and inquire, it's takes a few minutes at most. Good luck.
