Digitechrep: Bass Whammy shipping yet?

So it looks like RightinTwo462 should throw hissy-fits more often, stuff magically appears!

RightinTwo462, I will pay you $5 if you (successfully) do this with the Beat Buddy.

In general, I would add the following two laws:

(1) Never assume malevolence when incompetence is an adequate explanation.
(2) Never assume incompetence when Murphy's Law is an adequate explanation.
 
My sweetwater rep told me at this point 1st and 2nd shipments don't make a difference. Everything from the 1st and 2nd batch of pre-orders will go out at once. So unless your into the 3rd bracket of pre-orders then expect to get it at the same time whether you are in the 1st or 2nd batch. I ordered late February and was told that was the 2nd batch but sweetwater says I will get it at the same time as people that ordered in January.
 
Paging DigitechRep:

I won't fault you for not having an intimate knowledge of the midi programming on the Bass Whammy and Whammy V, but do you know (or would you be able to find out) if they're similar? As in, would a midi controller device programmed to work with the V be compatible with the BW? I'd assume so since they seem extremely similar in that sense, but it never hurts to ask.

Also, when will the manual be available online? Thanks.
