Support Group for those who are waiting on basses.

[Motojunkie]

Hi, my name is Tom, and I'm a bassaholic.




I have been patiently waiting for a Buttcream Stingray 4 HS. I believe that it may be a matter of waiting until NAMM gets over until I get her.

The wait has been horrific. I'm just not a very patient guy when it comes to things like these. The only thing that has made the wait bearable is that I have never owned a Stingray, so I'm not sure if it's gonna fit. If I was waiting for a Bongo, I'd have probably earned myself a divorce by now.

Anyway, thanks to the good folks at Ernie Ball/Music Man for making such great instruments that we are getting ourselves in a frenzy during the wait. You guys and gals rock!

Dealer just informed me that my January ship date might be into March for my HH SR4. What will I do?

Probably you'll do what the rest of us do.

Wait. And post endlessly about waiting.

Worth it, though.

asking for photoshopped renditions of what has been ordered is another fun one. Hint, hint Jack.

 

[smallequestrian]

Paul, I am exactly sure when you ordered it.

12/21/05

Whoops...you changed your initial order.

Make that early January.

There you go.

Jack

How'd I miss that, thats my freakin birthday...I really have no recollection of doing that on my birthday at all.

I have no recollection of saying "I do" ........hmmmm

 

[bovinehost]

Someday, when we're over here and no one else is around, Paul, ask me about forgotten birthday recollections. I have a REALLY good one!

James, you have my ex-white Stingray? (I lose track very easily.) The one that Ben had, right?

That bass came directly to me from the factory. I'd be REALLY surprised if it was anything other than late 2005.

Jack

Update: You're absolutely right! Beth says DOB is July 13, 2005.

The man knows his product!

Let me buy you a cup of coffee.

RE: EB Musician Medications

BP,

Nurse Beth is very patient
- her 'topon' car pics aroused (all but one)
- her 'topoff' pics may be 2 much for now
- everybody wants a ride

Dr.Bovine presents some concern with
- continuing references ie. 'moo', and 'sick'
- all udders seem contented with 'music'
- e, i, e, i, o

Note 2 File:
- (all but one) in talking circles
- " " talking in circles
- slobbering all around continues
- consider offering EB Music Man Bibs

Don't walk into your local music shop, bored and with disposable income...

...not that I regret doing that.

 

[Figjam]

Meh, my local music shop has nothing to offer that wows me.

The cup should be mine! I called you on it first...Well, maybe I will share it with Jack...

That doesn't sound nearly as much fun as sharing it with Beth! (No offense, Jack)

 

[shamus63]

And Ben!

BTW, Jack knows the joke behind the coffee statement.

I am feeling, literally, the exact same pain. Buttercream HS Sterling comin from AZ soon? yeah, I wonder if that puppy is in UPS's hands right now or still sitting in a garage.

Either way, can't wait!!!!!!

I think Tom Petty said it best: "The waiting is the hardest part"....

[Ampig]

Ordered my Ray last week and Jack said about 8 weeks wait. What's this April talk? You guys are making me nervous.
