What's worse than the wait for a new bass?

Be glad you're getting money back.

I'm waiting for a new bass body. 10 days isn't bad condering the neck I'm using has been laying around for a few months

I custom ordered a Lakland 4-94. It took 7 months to build. When I got it, I was ecstatic. Several days later, I look for the serial number, for my records. It didn't have one. I had to send it back to Lakland to get stamped. It was another 3 weeks before I got it back.

So what's worse than waiting for a bass? Having to give it back and wait some more, that's what.

You should have sold it on Ebay as the rarest lakland evar!

I believe that I submitted mine on a Saturday and it posted to my account the next Saturday morning.

The girlfriend mentioned something about Fridays being the day that they distribute.

I'll let you know in about a year, when I get my custom Jerzy Drozd VI.

I just paid the deposit a couple weeks ago. This is going to be one loooooooooong year.
